    My "friend" asking me to trade (as you can see I was already chatting with my friend - he was in game while this one was not): http://imgur.com/a/p0t7G#

    Real friend/MM profile screenshot (not private) : http://imgur.com/a/7zgvT#0

    Description: He added me out of the blue, and offered me $220 for both my unusual hats. I instantly knew it was a scam. Told me to join a group first, and then told me to invite a friend to chat and give the hats to my friend and he would give me the money. I invited my friend and then a person impersonating my friend invited me to trade. I assume he was able to do so because he was in the group Zukan told me to join. The end result was these screenshots above. I did not fall for this scam as it was very obvious.
