‍‍‍‍‍‍So I was just bored on steam, when a person named Balestorm1 tells me that he's quitting TF2, and that he's giving items away. I was skeptical, and I became curious about whether or not he was doing this truthfully. I talk to him, and he tells me that he has a friend named Vicky, and that he's giving away unusuals to friends of Vicky. Vicky is apparently ‍‍this guy's really good friend. I think this guy found my profile off of Vicky's profile, when I +repped her. Anyways, Balestorm1 tells me to give him 6 Keys worth of items, and that he can get any unusual of my choice from him.
Now, when I first looked at his backpack, he had one unusual. When I asked about it, he said that it was for a person who was offline. I was suspicious, so I traded him. This is the video of the trade. He told me that he gave 3 unusuals to Grilla. I asked him for more proof, and it seemed like the unusuals were never his. He told me that he only had the unusuals for a short interval of time.
One of the most obvious parts about this scam is when he says that he can get any unusual for MY 6 Keys worth of items and his "sweets". He says that I have to "Lend" my items to him, which seems awfully suspicious.

NOTE: I was not an actual victim of this scam, but this person has probably scammed others before.
I want to bring awareness to this scammer, and give him what he deserves.

Thank you for looking into these matters!
