What happened? Description:

So I was added by . ben because he wanted to make an offer on a Sunbeams Law I was selling. He wanted to offer mixed, and I was open to the idea, so we discussed over Discord, came to an agreement, and I went first because he had more trust. He then proceeded to block me on both Discord and steam without doing the second part of the trade.
I trusted him because he had more rep on backpack, and went first because I have none. He seemed reputable and kind, but guess that just goes to show that anybody can scam.

His profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/gaydickdaddy/​

Provide Evidence:

The discord chat immediately deletes messages once one blocks the other, which is probably why he wanted to discuss in that application. I managed to get the screenshots though. Included below, I have attached screenshots of our short steam conversation and our longer discord conversation, as well as a screenshot of the messages after the block.​

This is the steam chat log, also included in image form. The discord messages are included in image form because I couldn't copy them all before he blocked me.

Update: He has removed the hat from his backpack. I am attaching two more files: a screenshot of his backpack after the fact, and a video-to-gif file of my original checking of his profile. Sorry I did not include earlier, was converting and compressing to make sure I could upload it.
