What happened? Description:

I'm semi-new to trading as a whole, but i know all about middle mans or bad links. I wanted to sell my knife (Bowie Knife | Crimson Web (Well-Worn) 0.3823). So i made a listing to sell this knife of mine on both csgotraders.net and csgooutpost.com. After making a listing on both sites I start responding to other peoples listing who are looking to buy a knife for money. I did all of this on the 30th of May (yesterday) and right before i'm getting ready to sleep at like 11:50pm MarbleZZ adds me. I added him back, checked that he was someone that either contacted me on those sites or that i contacted on those sites. He asks if we can get in a discord call, i get a little weary sense im thinking he wants me to screenshare and to my knowledge you never ever should or need to show the other your screen. But i send him a link to my server, then add him as friend on discord. We get in a private call, then he starts screensharing to prove he has the money and such. At his point he offers to also buy my StatTrak™ M4A4 | Desolate Space (Field-Tested) and i dont really use it so i thought ok why not, ill get 150$ instead of 120$ which is the offer i got for only the knife. I get everything ready in a trade, and at the same time im watching him get ready to send me the money. The whole time hes talking about how after the trade he'd like it if i could +rep him and what not, saying it helps him a lot sense he's a professional trader, which i found a little weird sense he had like no negative or positive rep anywhere that i could find. Other than all the +reps he has in his steam comments which have all been spaced out over quite a long time, so I thought that he was legit. We come to the agreement that we will accept at the same time (I should have just said to send the money first or no deal, but i was tired and new to this), i have my finger over the accept trade on my phone steam app and he had his cursor over the send money button on paypal. we count down from 3; "3, 2, 1". I accept it, then he leaves the call, removes me on both steam and discord at the same time, and im left with no money. And that is everything that happened.​
