    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Fake items or item duplication

    Accused profile: 76561198128653166 (#1midLANER`a)

    Victim profile: 76561198070035692

    What happened? Description:
    He added me saying he wanted to buy my unusuals, and that he was from Tf2outpost.com. I havent had any unusuals for months, and no trades stating I was selling unusuals. When I said I was selling earbuds (The tf2 Item) He said that he was going to buy keys from the steam market, but he wanted to know that he could trust me first. I found this a little bit odd, but I didnt care because I had wanted to sell my buds for a long time. so I gave him a link to my friends profile (http://steamcommunity.com/id/rayquazarocker77/), After they talked for a while He made a group chat with me, him, and a person named Ray. (Impersonating my friend, who's alias was 'Ray" http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198135339976/) He then said for me to trade my friend Ray my buds, so that he could see that I was trustworthy. This made no sense but I was going to do it anyway, I trusted my friend and knew he was going to give them back. But, I saw that He was playing Garry's Mod, and the Ray I was trading was online, so I closed the trade when I figured out that it was all a huge scam, When I said that I knew everything they both removed me from their friends list, and left the group chat. Here is the chat.
