What happened? Description:

Hello. I fell victim to a scam and yes it's my own fault and learned my lesson.

Here's the story:
I put up my Stattrak Classic knife slaughter on the market a few weeks ago.

I received a friend request from the name of "ΛzmN". Asking me about the knife and if I wanted to trade, saying he would offer to pay money through steam funds, paypal, or other bank deposit means. I replied saying I would be open to using paypal and/or venmo. He then told me to add his main "Paper", although it was suspicious and I asked why he has two account, I checked his profile, inventory was public, has decent hours etc etc. It looked legit to me, so I brushed it off. Although we have to wait a week to trade since I unlisted my item from the market and there's a one week wait period. Fast forward to today May 16th, he message me about the trade and I was down to trade. He sent a discord id for me to add and the person shared screen showing his paypal screen getting ready to send it to my account. I confirmed the trade offer on my phone and as soon as that happen, he disconnected from the call and unfriended me and both I guess his sub and main account.​
