What happened? Description:

Attempted fraud by impersonating a marketplace.tf bot.

First offered 55$ for an unusual, asked me to place it on the marketplace.tf bots and set the price for it at 55$, then insisted me to withdraw the item from the marketplace.tf bots and return it to my inventory because he "will place a buy order for the same price to avoid taxes".

Once my item was back on my inventory, they pretended to make a buy order, and a fake marketplace.tf bot profile added me, included with a VAC ban and private profile (http://steamcommunity.com/id/shopbot90).
Marketplace.tf clarifies that you send the item for sale to them through an official bot link, bots shouldn't add people and then send a trade offer when the item was never listed on marketplace.tf.

This "bot" sent me a trade offer with my unusual and nothing in return, even though no buy order was placed on marketplace.tf in any instance.​
