What happened? Description:

I was added by a user called Ang (he would also be reported but do not have solid proof) asking about my outpost trade adverts so he was willing to pay the full price of my unusuals and wanted to by all my backpack of unusual, i stopped him asking after one more unusual. He then said I will play you 95 keys but only if you get them proofed by a tf2 trade community admin, this is where they slipped up their stories were not the same. So we add Puddilicious after him trying to do it with a open scammer on rep.tf, and he posed as a valve worker, the slip up number 1, at this moment I decided to play along with it, wasting his time, so he asked me to trade offer my three unusuals for nothing, did my to low value unusuals as he had a higher valve unusual i different offers so he would not accept as he was losing out. After a hour or so of him 'checking' Ang 95 keys out for fraud he came back to me and said we had a trade offer error you need to resend the offer. After multiple trade offers sent to him with my unusuals for his, he decided to say these are fraud unusuals and they cannot be traded, I keep saying 'they are my safegaurd against scammers'. After 30 minutes of going back and forth about this he went full valve employee, stating it is against the rules to waste his time and he will get me banned. He also worked at the valve headquarter in Washington DC. I asked for proof of employment as all valve employees get a badge. He then changed his story of employment, now stating he was a community trade officer, or something, after I brought up what he said earlier that he worked in the headquarters he sent me a google image, thinking I was stupid and would not check, of a steam assistance trading thing, photo in evidence, after I said that on chat he know he had lost and decided to bring up the waste of the time and it will leave me in a trade ban, which I countered with saying it is illegal to impersonate an employee and all your steam accounts will get banned as I am taking this to Valve as well as the community. After this he and Ang then proceed to leave my friends list at the same time and blocking me. P.s. his grammer is so bad I now think he is a 12 year old (my grammer is bad I know) and Ang must have been on this because I keep telling this guy is a scammer don't trade him, he just keep on trying to make me trade, which was funny, but sadly I did not get any proof.​
