    Contacted me through lounge claiming to buy my knife for Steam market price.... Like, why not buy it through steam if you are willing to pay full price? He has insanely high rep and loads of "Proof" Which greatly disturbed me. I don't know if what he tried to do qualified as a clear scam, but he should be looked into.

    Since you mentioned "high rep", I would like to take this opportunity to point out that +rep comments on people's profiles, no matter what they say, who posted them, or when, are absolutely worthless. The same goes for "reputation" scores on Lounge. You should never, under any circumstances, use this sort of "reputation" to to determine whether to trust someone. Traders often post them for non-trust trades, or without any reason other than being asked to, and scammers often either post +rep from their alternate accounts or pay people as little as a scrap metal each to write fake reputation comments on their profile. Meanwhile, any negative comments indicating someone shouldn't be trusted, get deleted, so you would never see any signs of a scammer that in profile comments anyway.

    I highly recommend you read over this guide, written by a retired SteamRep admin:

    Even without the caution tag on him, even without talking to him, his profile REEKS of scammer. They offer so much money because they're not going to pay it, and there are a lot of gullible idiots who fall for it.
