What happened? Description:

TL;DR Scammer attempted to use fake OPskins bot to intercept target item
Scammer said he was offering 35 keys on my unusual 'hat with no name', but before he was to send the offer he said he had to check it was '100% marketable on OPskins', i followed along as he described the steps to list it on the OPskins market, then when he sent the offer with the fake bot I got its profile along with his. This person added me out of the blue, probably via bp.tf as I was active there when trading for the target unusual. This person is obviously a repeat offender because of his banned status on steamrep.
