    What happened? Description:
    So this guy added me and wanted to buy my M9 Bayonet Freehand FT for real money (opskins money) with overpay. I didn't think anything bad of the overpay, because it has a nice float and a decent pattern. So I put my knife on OPSkins and he said, that he had to add funds first. After a little bit of smalltalk he said, he was done. Suddenly he wanted my OPSkins API. I didn't know what that was, so I googled it. That was the way, how I found out, that he was trying to scam me. After that I blocked him and deleted him from my friendlist.

    I also found the same scam here:
