    A few days ago, this guy added me: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198046221620/
    Impersonating him: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/stonecleric/

    He added me to ask if I wanted to do paypal for my Planets modest. I have never done paypal before, so I was hesitant, but he assured me that he would lead me through the process. We negotiated a price, and I'll let the chat do the talking:

    Never tell your password to anyone.

    DrCactus?: Hey, you added me?
    Stonecleric [PPM-Λ]: Yeah, I was wondering if you wanted to do paypal for your planets modest?
    DrCactus?: Erm... well I've never done paypal before, so not really. Sorry
    Stonecleric [PPM-Λ]: I can lead you through the process. We could do 120$? I really love the hat <3
    DrCactus? I mean... I guess... what do I do?
    Stonecleric [PPM-Λ]: Well... sense I have a lot of rep, I say you'll go first.
    DrCactus?: I mean... seems kind of shady.
    DrCactus?: heer can I see your rep?
    DrCactus?: *Where
    Stonecleric [PPM-Λ]: On my profile. http://steamcommunity.com/id/stonecleric
    DrCactus? That isn't your profile...
    Stonecleric [PPM-Λ]: ?
    DrCactus: That link doesn't go to your profile LOL
    Stonecleric [PPM-Λ] is now offline.

    So yeah, kind of mad, wanted that money. Anyway, glad I didn't lose the hat.

    Wow close call friend, well really. It is very good that you asked questions XD, Otherwise you'd of been scammed incredibly awful.
    I think that the mods should definitley look over this. No further proof is needed, The guy bailed once you asked for his rep. There was no official trade, so inventory history and trade screenshot is not needed. I think this will get marked.
