What happened? Description:

Bobsplosion messaged me on steam asking me to trade my Unusual Smoking Liquidator's Lid for 20 pure keys. Since it was a decent offer, I decided to tell him that I'd trade him my unusual for that. He then asked me for my trade url, asked me if I used opskins, and then asked me to go through a verification process. At that point I knew it was a scam and did a steamrep report on him which turned up that he's been banned and has done this before. I am simply reporting this again for record purposes. I have reported him on steam.​
