    What happened? Description:
    There are 2 scammers or 2 accounts scamming me in this scenario
    (Buyer) GoodAndOnly: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198317628181
    (Fake Middleman) Makysm: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198297914086

    In this case i have reported the "(Fake Middleman) Makysm" as I have sent the item to him.

    I put up a $300 USD PUBG(Player Unknown Battlegrounds) school skirt in the steam market... and a few minutes after doing so i got a huge wave of friend invites., people hoping to buy my skirt. I was not popular in communities, so for the first time in my life it feels like I felt "Wanted" and i thought that there is no way i could get scammed as i am aware of scammers and what not...(scammers got really smart nowadays or I'm just really dumb).

    The buyer "(Buyer) GoodAndOnly" told me things i wanted to hear... buying my skirt at a slightly higher than market price... paying first... and informing me about other "scammers" so i thought hey he might be a legitimate buyer. As he talked on and on things became a little fishy... he asked me about my steamrep page... i have no clue as what he was talking about. I am a gamer not a trader... I just wanted to sell my item so i could buy more games or other items I'd like. He then prompted me he would get a middleman and pay his "fees" he kept urging me and i was afraid if he is really legitimate i might lose a buyer!(In the end i lost more than that!). So we got a fishy middle-man who kept urging me with his trade offer link, so i just placed the item there because it wouldn't go through if i didn't confirm the trade offer on my phone right?(Boy!! did my phone and fingers fished me over!)

    It was my first time trading and i was too gullible and clumsy...
    I have heard of infamous middleman scams and i wanted to stop
    the process half-way through...
    but i was clumsy with the app on my phone and accidentally confirmed the trade offer i have sent earlier...

    I have lost a PUBG(Player Unknown Battlegrounds) school skirt worth $300 USD at that time
    I was absolutely devastated but let it be a learning point for me... oh how much i wish I could reverse time by a second when i accidentally hit on the "confirm trade offer" button. I have regretted everything...

    I know I won't be getting my item or my money back... but i hope at least I could get some justice! I have already sent a report to steam support but it will be a good while before they get back to me(If they do).
