What happened? Description:

I can safely say that this user is dodgy af and his practices for trading are questionable, illogical in fact. (1 accepted report on SteamRep so far, so here's another?)

The subject (scammer/accused) sent me a friend request on Sun Jul 16 2017 07:00:00 GMT+0800 (Malay Peninsula Standard Time), which I accepted shortly after and I was asking what was the add about?

It (The subject shall be represented by "it" from this) responded that it was looking to trade, after which I replied "trade what", and his reply was something along the lines of "do you have anything to trade" which I then said I didn't have. (already dodgy tbh, who adds someone just to trade random items which he/her may not have?)

*NOTE: I did not save a screenshot of the initial chat because I thought it wasn't much at first and closed the chat*

---

That was the first encounter.

I skimming through its profile simultaneously, and its "Artwork Showcase" section intrigued me greatly (specifically this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=838033608) *I will be uploading the image just in case it deletes the image but, basically depicts it's modus operandi (MO)*
The would-be victim would send a Trade Offer to the accused which only contained the victim's item(s) ONLY and then it would send a Counter Offer later.

I thought that was weird so I commented on the artwork,

{"That's not how Counter Offer works, he's supposed to choose from your inventory and you're supposed to click "Their inventory" and choose from their inventory?

If you just accepted the trade there and then, he would've given you an AWP skin for nothing? lol

Or more appropriately, he's supposed to set-up the whole trade (choosing both parties' items) and send you a trade offer. After which, you would either, accept or send a Counter Offer by editing both parties' items and then sending the new offer."
}

and then I notified it about the comment through PM.

It actually tried to defend itself with its dubious reasoning and actually DELETED my comment saying that "7:25 AM - LEGEND: Your comment might affect my business" (WTF? What business? scamming business?? Extremely dodgy and dishonest practice.)

I thought it was was weird so I actually check SteamRep and found out that it was actually banned (Sigh,,, I didn't check before as its Steam level was quite high, 60 or so at time of writing)

So here's another warning and relevant evidence(s).​
