What happened? Description:

I posted a sell listing for a Strange Australium Black Box on backpack.tf asking for 16 Keys and 30 Refined Metal or overpay in items. Luke the Duke then sent me a trade offer on Steam claiming they were paying in "HUGE OVERPAY" and a link to the backpack.tf listings for Strange Festive Medi Guns in order prove that it was overpay. The trade offer, however, contained a Strange Festivized Medigun, which is far less valuable than the Strange Festive Medigun. Upon noticing the discrepancy, I declined the offer and blocked the user.​

Provide Evidence:

A picture of a legitimate Festive Medi Gun. Note that the fake was originally called "Medi Gun" instead of "Strange Festive Medi Gun" and it contains the "Festivized" tag which the Festive Medi Gun Lacks

Here is the requested screenshot. I did also report the user on backpack.tf first, but I just received a notification from a backpack.tf admin that the report had been removed due to an error on my part in submitting the report. The admin did say I could submit a new one with the error fixed though, and I plan on doing so once I finish sending this message. Please let me know if you need anything else from me.

I already resubmitted on backpack.tf, so I assume its more convenient to continue there there. Thank you for the help though. At least I now know what to do better next time I have a situation like this.
