    Description:
    I am selling a CS:GO knife on the community marketplace, and Manon here adds me asking about it. He then says he just wants to "try" the knife, IE have me trade it to him before he pays. I detect a scam so point it out, and he keeps saying he wants to try it, etc.
    This member is sketchy at best, and I doubt I'm the only person he's attempted to scam, though I doubt many CS:GO players know about steamrep.

    Off-Topic: With the new CS:GO items to trade, it might be a good idea to try to get cs players informed of steamrep and how to avoid being scammed. I know that many are older and get it already, but the younger members of the community are at risk.

    Things like this happen way too often to me. But I thought they do not accept shark reports. Can someone tell me if I am able to report things like this?

    Steamrep does not take shark reports.

    This report is not a sharking one. If someone says "hey can I borrow your item" then yes you can report that.
