    Short chat with him, clearly overpaying for my unusuals (they were hearts and stormy storm, not worth 90$ each :p)

    His profile page as of the time he tried to scam me.

    The real xDePloY's profile around the same time, you can see the scammer tried to copy it but did a pretty half-assed job.


    Pretty straight forward, clearly impersonating xDePloY, as he sent me a rep thread link that didn't even match his profile--- > http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=1277402#1277402
    You'll see the REAL xDePloY is

    As of making this thread, he's changed his avatar to that of the real xDePloY to seem more legitimate.

    8:26 AM - Flanders the Troll: pft, well good luck with that
    8:28 AM - Flanders the Troll: i suppose it's smarter to just impersonate someone with less rep, but just enough to seem legit huh

    Unfortunately, there is no evidence of a scam here. It may be an attempt and looks fishy, but we cannot tag based on that.

    Thanks for the report!
