    Screenshot of proof that I traded him 10 copies of Dota2:

    This guy (aerosmith83) adds me on Steam and proceeded to talk about buying my Dota2 which I had posted on TF2OP.
    He offers to pay $220 for all 10 copies, and wants to do so with the help of a middle man.
    So I proceeded to SteamRep and looked through the middle man list and picked Jailbait, whom I saw had loads of rep and stuff. He then added "Jailbait" into our chat and the trade proceeded, with myself being the one to trade Scammer 2 (Jailbait) the 10 copies, and then he would deliver the money to my PayPal. Shortly after transferring the 10 copies of Dota2, both of them left the chat and blocked me, making me unable to contact them.

    I admit there's fault on my part for not verifying the Steam profile of the real Jailbait, who's a great middle man. But this was my first time trading using a middle man and I did not know the proper proceedings. This also explains the lack of chat screenshots because I had confidence nothing bad will happen.

    I thank you for your time and I hope actions will be taken against him.

    Both of these guys were already marked so I'm adding it to their offenses. Thanks for the report! :)
