    This person contacted me after I bumped a post on outpost, looking for offers on an unusual Noble pile.

    Added me to offer cash for one of my unusuals I wasn't selling. Wasn't actually giving me a sum he was offering but I kept inquiring as I was suspicious he was up to no good and if he wasn't I was interested to know what I might get for them.

    He offered $50 for a bubbling fedora when I sort of made out to leave.

    I declined, saying I don't want to sell.

    He offered $150 for the same hat (worth about 1.33-1.66 buds?)

    I checked his outpost rep and look, he's tried it with another who was kind enough to -rep him http://www.tf2outpost.com/rep/42990

    Hope that's good enough to stop this person...

    also i've contacted the first person who wrote negative rep on tf2op , and he agreed to contact a tf2op admin to remove it.

    Oh dear, apologies! Just proves it to me how easy it is to be tricked, how embarrassing.

    Sorry for the tf2outpost rep, I'll make contact with a tf2op admin too.
    Any idea what will happen with this fool?

    Just to confirm, it is indeed an impersonator and the steam ID I posted is the incorrect one. The true 'stas pwnz' has posted the correct one and I do still have him on my list (why would he keep me??) :?
