When presented with the details of the trade, told me I had to go first as I had less rep. This set off warning bells, checked out steamrep page, followed proper links from Skial page to steam profile, checks I normally do just before closing a trade. After such, found out he was attempting to swindle 30 keys and run, managed to put a stop to it and confronted. Afterwards, scammer went offline.
