    Hatsune Miku: hi
    Best player never: Hi
    Hatsune Miku: vintage fan of war for your grimm hatte, ill provide wrap
    Best player never: wait what?
    Hatsune Miku: i have a vintage fan of war
    Hatsune Miku: for your grimm hatte
    Best player never: well, ok
    Best player never: Can you make your inventory public or friends only so I can see your not bluffing?
    Hatsune Miku: it is public
    Best player never: Not really
    Hatsune Miku: yea... it is.
    Best player never: TF2outpost says it's not public either
    Best player never: Here: http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/215363
    Best player never: It's not even "Friends only"
    Best player never: Apparently it has never been public
    Hatsune Miku is now Offline.
    
    Description: Today I was added by this person who wanted to pay a untradable vintage fow for my bubbling grimm. I knew it was overpaying by quite a bit. And that he instantly said that he'll provide the wrap was just suspicious. So I went the persons profile and found out that I couldn't see his inv and couldn't confirm that it wasn't a bluff. I asked him if he couldn't set it to public or friends only. He said that it already was public. Got with some evidence that it wasn't and he removed me a few seconds later. I should probably have started a trade with him to get some more evidence but I wasn't prepared.

    Even if this is not enough for a scammer mark I would atleast want people to be suspicious about this person.

    This is also the first time I've made a report so sorry if there's something I missed.
