What happened? Description:

The Scammer Has 3 Accounts involved:
Waffle: https://rep.tf/76561198873255524
Safe: https://rep.tf/76561198984010864
System "Database" Checker-: https://rep.tf/76561198277283295

Sent a friend request out of the blue. Offered 40 keys for an Aces High Unusual Antarctic Eyewear worth 16 keys. Wanted to "Change your tf2 items into dota 2 items". First asked me to login to an external phishing site (https://tradeit.gg/), then another (http://cs.money/), then yet another (https://cs.deals/). When all 3 failed due to my browser blocking them, he asked me to contact a "Steam Admin", with an account named "Safe". Finally, the "admin" tried to make me trade with the "System Database Checker" account (https://rep.tf/76561198277283295), telling me it would verify the items.

Note that the account "Waffle" is impersonating a different account by the same name. (https://rep.tf/76561197994342400)​
