What happened? Description:

Ok. This guy named Jacob contacted me looking to trade. I was quite clear that he was scamming since he was linking to an extern inventory. I gave him the benefit of the doubt nonetheless.
I talked to him a bit as seen in the screenshots to waste at least a bit of his time. He was offering me a Karambit Tiger Tooth FN that wasn't even to be found in the inventory. He was insisting to use a "Steam Community Helper" to help us "verify" the items to not be duped. The "Steam Employe" then took me into a group chat to further fill me into to process of "Verification", at which point I quite frankly enough and stated the situation. As soon as I wrote that, both of them have left immediately.

I hope the provided evidence is enough.​

Provide Evidence:

While making this post the "Steam Community Helper" has already altered his profile by changing name and icon.​

M'uru: Ty i guess.
M'uru: I've read that you wanna use some sort of item daatabase checker. can you tell me how that process i gonna go down?
Jacob: It's just verifying if your items aren't duped or came from unlegitimate traders.
Jacob: just a 2-3 minute process
M'uru: well i unboxed the karambit myself
Jacob: do you know what's bugged/ duped items?
M'uru: I do.
Jacob: what
M'uru: Some time ago it was possible to dupe items by yourself or use steam to do so by pretending to have been hacked and they would replace your items. that however is not possible anymore but I can understand your concerns.
Jacob: I am just aware of those that have spread on the trade community, and also was a victim of it already.
M'uru: i see
M'uru: so how is this verification going down
Jacob: So here’s my proposal, before we trade, we undergo Item Checking first by any Steamworks Community Helper. Just to have assurance if the items involved on the trade is safe and not
M'uru: Who is this communiy helper?
Jacob: A steam valve personnel by which we can contact through email.
Jacob: this is where I contact the personnel
Jacob: http://valvesoftware.com/
