What happened? Description:

This guy tried an "item inspection" scam. He wanted the items to be not bugged or glitched, therefore the items should be traded to a "Steam Item Database BOT", who, of course, won't accept the offer.
This guy opens up and uses regular Steam CSGO>Discussion>Trading forums, where I send him an offer first, after which he added me personally and pulled of this prank​

Provide Evidence:

So after sending him a trade offer (found that guy on the official CSGO Steam trading forum) he sent me a friend invite.

He messaged me and told me he lost his Dragon Lore because of corrupted items and wanted to make sure our items aren't bugged. For this claim, he posted me a youtube video showing someone not getting any items after accepting them in-game as a proof.

He wanted me to send the item in question to an "official" Item Database BOT (Bot's account:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/32165465165156654)
by Steam support, which, of course, was just another badly masked Steam profile.
The "Bot" will check the pending trade's items without accepting them, he assured me. He apparently also traded his items to this Bot and sent me the screenshot, so that I can be sure he's not scamming at all.
I see in the Bot's rename history, that he had some cheekyjapanese/anime style names before renaming to "Item Database ™", like 90% of the scammers friends have.

I see he has moved his valuable items out of his inventory now.​
