What happened? Description:

I got randomly added last night while I was asleep by RussianAces, who I will from here on refer to as "Russian". I asked him to comment why he added me, he said to trade. We bartered back and forth, but the first red flag is that he didn't know which items I had- He tried offering on a Cloud 9 Flipped Trillby, and a Terror-Watt Crone's Dome at first. The bartering went on, we decided to sell his Conga for my Lucky Shot (Far too good of a deal for me) and then he said the nail in the coffin: "☭RussianAces♠: i just want to make sure trade here mate, because my last trading i lose my items and i got lock my account after i receive a fraud or dupe items:/"
Right there I knew he was a scammer, we all know that line.
Not only that, but a former friend added me to warn me that he's a scammer. I already knew at that point, but I appreciated the effort and he deserves recognition.​

Provide Evidence:

Just see the screenshots. We've all seen this scam many a time, haven't we.​
