What happened? Description:

This guy added me out of the blue and suggested we do a knife for knife trade, linking me knifes from a different account that's been offline for a year. Once we had "agreed" on the knifes he suggested we "hire steam support to validate our items". I said I'm down to use a middleman from the steamrep middleman list, whoever he chooses is fine with me, at which point he said middlemen are scammers

I've put both his accounts in the "accused" part, since it doesn't seem to be an impersonation, it looks like he owns both accounts and is just trying to scam people via the "steam support will inspect our items" where the steam support is some friend of his that picks up your knife and trades it over to him after.

I haven't had a chance to talk to this "steam support" yet, but I'll add that account to the report as well, if that's plausible.​

Provide Evidence:

I got screenshots of the chat and both of his accounts, I also have gifs verifying both accounts, but they got saved as .mp4 after downloading from gyazo. I can make them gifs if needed if needed, but this one's pretty straightforward. ​

20:42 - Soft: but before we can go trade can we hire the steam support to validate both of our items first?
