What happened? Description:

I added a trade listing of a Collector's Festive Jarate, worth a few buds. I was asking for offers. Potato added me and offered me 2 scrap and 4 trading cards. He told me this was a bargain as there was no price. I followed along with the trade as he consistently tried to scam me, assuming I knew nothing about trading. He was quite convincing, and although I declined he could do the same to someone else.​

Do you have screenshots of that?

No, sorry. I tried to take one when I realized - be cancelled the trade before. :c

Sorry but the screenshot of the chat agreement is vital for this case.
