    What happened? Description:
    So basically around 1 month ago i traded some of my skins for an knife specifically Gut Knife Blue Steel well worn.Some time later an guy added me on steam offering me an more expensive knife for a knife of mine that i just got.First i tought why not but afterwards i tought it was little bit fishy since knife was around 30 euro more expensive than mine but he told me that mine knife had some special pattern so he didnt mind overpaying a little bit i tought well okay i cant get scammed just by sending trade offer so i accepted.Later i had some problems with my steam it wasnt letting me to send the trades so i reset my steam guard to fix it.As i fixed it today i started chatting with him again.First he said that he cant send me trade because i changed my password lately (Which i didnt) that was first fishy thing.Then i told him to send me trade link as i can send the offer as well so he did.But next thing that happend made me laugh when i entered link it was steam profile of an trader called GeRy which i originally took the knife from,from that point it was obvious that it was scamm since if it had some special pattern GeRy would know it and wouldnt give me the knife for cheaper price.So i told him that it was his profile and he was like i just got it mistaken bla bla etc. So he sent me a new offer which when i clicked on said i must be friends with that person in order to trade so i told that to him.He said send it to GeRy actually i will talk to him so i was like okay so i went and sent the trade,when i opened my steam mobile app to confirm the trade there was a trade pending to confirm from an uknown person i forgot what was the name and some random picture it had my knife and some other items in it in exchange for nothing of their items when i reloaded the steam app thinking it was an bug there was a same trade with that same person but changed name to GeRy and his picture but i noticed it straight away since it said that it was Steam level 0 and still didnt have any knife in exchange for mine.So that was my story i will post some screen shots down bellow unfortunantley i couldnt screen shot trade in steam confirmations since i forgot to do so..​

    Provide Evidence:
    There i posted some screen shots unfortunantley i dont have one from steam confirmation tab on mobile i forgot to take it afterwards..​
