I, sadly and foolishly, closed the trade panel before I screenshotted it but I do have some interesting parts of the log saved on text.

Description:
So I was playing a game of TF2 like usual then this guy randomly added me. I accepted because I'm fairly active on TF2OP so I thought he was contacting me for one of my trades.

He tells me he's on trade probation because a "valve officer" is a "scammer" and he "called him out" on it and the officer didn't like that. He invited me to trade to show me what he had in his inventory which contained 2 reclaimed metals, a scrap metal, and an uncraftable The Anger.

I decide to pry further and ask him how he got the $120 in his Steam wallet, which he then tells me apparently his father is a surgeon. I then tell him I don't like the Call of Duty series anyway then he tells me I can pick out another game. I chose Far Cry 3 (even though my crappy computer wouldn't be able to run it, but I knew this guy was full of it). He tells me he has 4 copies already and he won't buy it unless I give him hats first. I tell him that if you purchase the game on Steam as a gift, it will be tradable so there's no need for me to go first. He is still stubborn and refuses to buy me anything unless I give him the hats. I decided I've had enough and tell him to get lost and that I'm going to report him to Steam Rep.

So yeah. I didn't fall for his scam but I would like him to have more information on his Steam Rep page because currently he has nothing on his page.

Thank you for reporting, a SR admin will look into this when he / she can.
