Just FYI, Levi's account is now private. The scammer, a 2 (two) months old account, now offers Baron as middleman.

Keep in mind that Baron:

• Is in the same group with Levi, https://steamcommunity.com/groups/dotatrading/discussions/0/1735465524700994844/
• Only have 1 (one) game, PUBG for 29 hour
• Only have 25 friends

So, I can't proof it, but be aware of Baron.

Ok, sure. I decided to choose imgur as it have a better UX than using the "Upload a File." But alas, here you go, my conversation with the accused. I'll post the group convo (me, Seiei [accused], and Levi [banned]) on my next post.

> I've also hidden the other users info you put in cause you have nothing against that user - your just putting their info block out there suggesting they were also guilty when that wouldn't be fair to them.
Please don't do that...stick to who you are or were involved with only.

I can't agree more, that's why I chose to just tell reader to "be aware" of the oncoming middleman.

Keep in mind that they're chronological; I'm just unable to stitch them together.

Here's the group convo.

Additional shoutout to user spent (for posting https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report.186336/) and the mod whom accepted the report (for accepting it just a day before I almost scammed).

Sure, looking forward to it!

Any update, mr. horse?
