    wanted to buy my 1 bud unusual (green fetti tam o shanter) for 80 bucks <---- fishy
    told him i wanted an omm
    he said "ok"
    linked me to some guy named "Like this?"
    i saw he was trusted, and agreed
    he then added the guy to the group chat
    right away i knew something was fishy
    the first thing the guy said was "okey so"
    like what kind of mm talks in broken english
    so i went to his profile
    same name. same descriptions/summaries. same profile picture.
    DIFFERENT comments. only like 3 comments.needless to say, it was a fake.
    exited out of chat, didn't take pictures or anything cuz ive never reported a scammer before so im not sure how this works
    but BE AWARE.

    The Like This? impersonator is a known scammer. It's good that you caught the difference between the two before you made the trade. I will leave this as pending in case an admin wants to make a note on twisterdub. Thank you for your report! :) In the future, screenshots of the chat are always quite helpful (as well as screenshots of the trade, etc.)

    *Edit- Made a note on twisterdub's account.
