    First one is in trade, second one is in chat.
    The pictures are not in order for some reason. For the actual chat it goes 3456712, and for the trade it goes 23145 (sorry about that, no idea why it happened).

    Description: I met him on a trade server yesterday, he advertised that he was buying unusuals. I had a bubbling merryweather that I offered, and he traded me. He asks how much I want, and I respond 40 keys. (This was yesterday, and sadly the trade was ingame and I have no idea how to take screenshots of steam overlays, I apologize >.<). He then offers 2 bills and claims there worth 25 keys each. Me, playing dumb, asks him questions, and he replies them with outright lies. For example he says buds are worth 8 keys and bills are 25 and I got them mixed up. From here I was obviously quite suspicious so I looked at his backpack. Whaddya know, its private. I get him to add me after that, so I can get him to say again what he said yesterday in chat so I can actually get screens.
    By the screens you can obviously tell he's outright lying now, claiming his second bills is "untradeable". This is an obvious scam attempt.

    9:53 PM - Slender Man: Ill give you 2 bills for your unusul,one right here,and one thats not tradable,ill have to send it to you after we do this trade,the reason why its not tradable is because i put a exorcism potion on it and it was untradable,exorcism makes ghosts come out of you when you die,or makes ghosts come out of your enemy when you kill them.The ghost colors can be blue,orange,black.
    9:53 PM - Slender Man: Im only posting that there so i can go trade while i wait
    9:55 PM - G.J. Halestorm: So your bills are 25 keys each because of the paint and the spell?
    9:55 PM - G.J. Halestorm: Is it like a rare paint or something?
    9:55 PM - Slender Man: The spell is very rare and there not common to see
    9:56 PM - Slender Man: the paint is like a little bonus
    9:56 PM - Slender Man: Deal?
