What happened? Description:

I was added out of the blue by the accused. He offered to buy my knife for either keys or any upgraded knife i wanted. This seemed very fishy upon looking at his profile and chatting more it is pretty clear that the accused is up to no good.

I didn't have enough time to go through with the scam to get good proof but this should be enough for a caution tag. The guy is clearly running a scam attempt, most likely the accused is running a variant of the "middleman scam" where a clone of the middleman that he links to in the description is used.

Also no playtime on the account with 100 hours on Dota 2 as only activity also makes me feel suspicious towards the accused.​

MY TRADING RULES FOR MY ASSURANCE.
I KNOW YOU WILL THINK IM SCAMMING YOU BUT NO I WONT


THIS IS MY RULES OF TRADING, ITS FOR MY ASSURANCE NOT TO WASTE MY MONEY AGAIN.
First i will offer keys or other knife cause i have keys and knife dealer.

Second i want assurance you wont cancel the deal or accept any other offers while im getting the offer to my dealer.


I need a holder to hold your knife while im buying the offer to my dealer. And if the holder already holding your knife, I can proceed to get the offer to my private dealer. And when I got the offer, you are free to get your knife back. As soon as I have the Offer in my Inventory.


Many People says that it was a Middleman Scam, well. Those rules are just for my assurance. And I can do a Huge overpay also if you let me assure in this deal.


I need the Steam holder just to do some assistance, kindly read those rules and Understand. And if you agree, then we can proceed. But if not, then tell it to me so I can remove you so we can cancel the deal right away


He is the Holder this is not a Fake link or Scam link.

I second this. The account looks pretty suspicious with few activity. Here offered me a good deal, but I should trade my knife to a friend. At this point I blocked him. No screenshots unfortunatly :/
