What happened? Description:

Classic Middle Man Scam.

So the Fluttershy User contacted me, willing to trade. After talking for a little while, he brings up the trade details.
My runners rhythm taunt, my strange kill streak rocket launcher, and my kasotsky kick taunt, all for 7 keys.

Once I agree, he goes on about some steam admin that would "help us trade safe" or something, by this point i knew it was a scammer(s). So i started taking screenshots.

Once it got to the point where I had to click the link to send the middleman a trade offer, they seemed to get suspicious asked why i was taking so long, i told them i was taking screenshots and quickly blocked me.​

Also I took the screenshot with the friend activity twice because in the first one, the profile popup covered my name, so i took another one with the browser in a smaller window.
