    Description:
    elMario added me unprompted and asked if I'd sell him stuff for realworld money. I said yes and asked him what he wanted. He said unusuals and bills and offered several hundred dollars. I suggested I wanted to get more money and he said yes. I asked how he wanted to do the trade and asked if it would be OK to use a middleman. He said yes and suggested I choose one. I choose ¤Child - middlemаn from the steamrep middleman list and he said that was good. I said I needed to check something before going through and he asked if he could add middle man after suggesting several times that I do it. He added the fake ¤Child - middleman who in a separate chat asked for the items in question. I didn't give them up and then finally asked the fake ¤Child - middlemаn if his steamrep page was his. Upon realizing he'd been found out, he and elMario both left the chat.
