He wanted to get Sleeping Dogs from me for $25 USD. He then shows me REAL Overslop's (the real one, not the scammer) Steam Trades user profile which shows a lot of +rep. However, after clicking on his Steam Profile link on Steam Trades, I noticed the Steam URL's were different. The REAL Overslop (the one with a lot of rep) has no underscore for his custom URL (http://steamcommunity.com/id/Overslop) whereas the FAKE Overslop has http://steamcommunity.com/id/_Overshlop. The FAKE Overslop also has a Private profile. Chat: Code: Never tell your password to anyone.
