Victim profile: 76561198079873127

What happened? Description:

I was added out of the blue by somebody offering me way too much for my unusual. I told them I would agree, but I was worried they were scsmming me. They attempted to get me to list items on bitskins.com "to verify my items" I was hesitant but I went along with them. The first time I did the trade and got my items listed fine. Then they told me to do it again, but not post it. Just put them in the queue. Without placing anything on the listing, I told them I did. They then sent me a disguised trade offer after I "confirmed" my listing. I received a trade request from a "bot" associated with bitskins. I never requested the trade, and after confronting them they immediately logged off.​

Provide Evidence:

The first five screenshots are the chat. I was very hesitant, so it went a little long. The sixth is the fake trade invite, with the eighth being the unedited screenshot. The seventh screenshot is the profile after I click their name in the chat.​
