    Not sure if this could be flagged as anything or not, but figured I mentioned it

    Description:
    No items were lost in regards to this report, but I encountered a trader that may be attempting to bully people to follow through with trades they never agreed to.

    I was advertizing on TF2OP that I am selling keys for 2.55 ref (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/1443872). [ω∂ž-яя]✘Gƒℓåsн~ added me and he asked about the keys I was selling. Instead of wanting to buy the keys for the advertized price he wanted to sell me a craft #70 Scrap Pack for all my keys + metal, making it out to seem as if he was doing me a favor. At no point prior to this had I expressed an interest in a Scrap Pack. I jokingly give him a low-ball offer to get him to go away. He then demands I give him 9 keys or else he will report me for scamming and give me negative rep. I tell him I'm not interested in it, and he then leaves a nasty post on my steam profile wall (neg rep, i guess, which I promptly deleted) and de-friends me (and potentially reported me to Valve, who knows).

    I've been trading for awhile, so I know this was just a load of bull he was trying to pull, but I figured I would mention it because (1) he may be able to bully less seasoned traders into unfair/uncomfortable trades by threatening to report them and give them neg rep unless they follow through trades they never agreed to, and (2) he marketed the trade as if he was doing me a favor (a tactic he could use to dupe less experienced traders as well)

    If you need any additional information, please don't hesitate to ask.

    Thanks for your help :)
