Victim profile: 76561198065332338

What happened? Description:

Added this user "Driller[HamGang]" to trade my unusual. They then decided to consider offering on it. After which they claimed that the unusual needed verification, a very wide known middleman scam attempt. No item in tf2 needs "verification" through this method of "trading with a middleman" as specified in the evidence. I then went on to discuss with this user why this is a scam, and they thought i was a scammer due to reports on me, im currently appealing. After doing so they blocked me and claimed they would report me. Very dodgy person who believes they can "Report me" for doing nothing. Obvious middleman scam is evident here, where the accused would get me to trade with a "steam admin" or "middleman" my items, for "verification" a made up scam term. More evidence can be posted in necessary - I may need to access old chat logs however!
