What happened? Description:

I was contacted by a person that was looking to buy one of my unusuals for 11 keys, and was originally selling it at 10. This being a good deal, I said yes. He wanted to make sure it wasn't duped, so I gave him the item history URL. He ignored that and said he wanted it to be checked a steam admin. At this point I knew he was trying to middle man scam me, so I went along with it anyway. (I should note, the "admin" is the person I'm listing as a scammer, because the person who friended me is already listed as one, I apparently (because I thought I did) didn't check until after I pointed the scam out). He showed me a list of "community admins": http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1092432909 I chose the first one, and thats the person I'm reporting, but I can make a logical guess and say that the rest on the list are scammer alts too. He then asked me to add the admin. We went into a group chat, and went on and on about "security" stuff. Eventual, he asked me to trade with a, and I quote, "SteamChecking-Software™ that was given to us admins by VALVe©.". He gave me the trading url to me, (this is it's account ID: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198375781060) and at that point, I pointed out the scam, and the person who first added me's profile went private. Hope this clears things up, screw you scammers​
