Report Type: [Trade Offer Fraud] Using Trade Offer URL fraud

What happened? Description:

Joe added me for a trade, saying that he wanted my entire inventory for one select knife in his inventory. I tried going on his inventory by normal means as in clicking on the inventory tab on his profile but it was private, and on his Information box was linked a completely different inventory with a bunch of knives and an inventory worth over 10k$. (Which I don't think belongs to him, (That profile doesn't show up on the steamrep website, which was weird to me)
He may be trying to impersonate the Joe with the valuable inventory) I then asked for the Karambit Fade that the valuable account had and he accepted the offer (Which is absolutely absurd, my inventory is worth maybe only a few more than a 100 and I asked for a 700$ knife).
After he agreed he asked me if my items were 100% marketable on the market (Presumably opskins) I told him that they were but he wanted confirmation that my items were "Marketable". (I presume he was going to impersonate an opskins bot too but I never got to that point with him) I then questioned him about the validity of his profile because I noticed that they were 2 different profiles and asked him if the knife profile was his vault account. He said yes. I then asked for another screenshot of the trade he was going to send me and noticed that the name had changed on his profile (The vault had only "Joe" and the screen he sent me had Joe plus /Spphr/, etc.) I then told him that I knew that this was a scam and we parted ways.​
