Description:
He added me around two days before we chat. He wanted to buy my Genuine Crosscrom items for $90+ via Paypal. He suggested for me to go first because I have less reputation than him. I checked his Steam Page and knew the rep on page was likely fake because most of them were made by scammers marked on Steamrep and the low hours in playtime for trading. I suggested that we ask a middleman to handle the trade but refused. I couldn't trade the day we chat and haven't met again yet. He thinks I'll do the trade when he sees me online again.

Although there wasn't any scam involved, it was likely he was attempting to scam.

I forgot the transcript of the chat.
I changed my name that day so apology for the inconvenience.
He was making stories on the go, as well.
