    Description:
    I was asked by the owner/moderator of "Covert Knife Club" if I had ever heard of a specific MiddleMan Service at a particular site that was not SteamRep(Not to be linked for obvious reasons). When I asked him to link me the persons profile it's obviously not something that looks legit. 6 friends, random games, none being anything with a community from what i saw at a glance, also no play time really other than Skyrim. When I had asked whats up, he stated that he had posted within his group that he was providing middleman services for CS:GO traders. I asked a few friends that I knew and also a few higher tier traders outside of the tf2 community. None had heard of the site, nor of the service. eShaft did delete the comment about the middleman service so I'm not able to post that as evidence. That original comment is what raised a flag and gave him the in to gather the evidence that youll see below.

    Note: The talk of $230 in cash for his two knives was nothing ever discussed previously. Also it is $40 over the Steam Market price which was sketchy in itself. Also the way the scammer goes about the conversation and is persistant to click a specific link, also that his offer will be gone if he doesn't trade soon, etc.

  2. The two images were posted in the wrong order. My apologies. Please read them, second to first.

    Thanks,

  3. Having looked more into Sythe.org - It is apparently a trading website for World Of Warcraft, RuneScape, Aion, etc. From what im told they focus a lot on RuneScape cheating, also trading of accounts, not specific wares.
