What happened? Description:

Fortune commented on my steam page asking to add him, so he may talk about my bayonet phase 4 doppler. I added him, and he asked if my knife was up for sale and offered $900. At first, I said it wasn't up for sale but $900 seemed good. We chatted on the steam log about the knife and then he wanted to move to discord which I agreed. There, he introduced himself claiming how he is a renown trader with over 8 years of experience and over 7,000 trading transactions done. He was cordial and kind which looks to be a part of his game plan. He seemed trustworthy. He said that he trades to Chinese collectors as they pay more . Then, he asked which payment method I would like to use, and I chose Zelle and gave him my email for him to send the money. He asked me to to send him the knife to his second account ,vice2, to act as a middleman. He urged to quickly send him the knife which I was hesitant to do. I asked him "How do I know you're not going to scam me?" and he replied, "I have many transactions done and years of experience, you think I would really scam you?" I then sent him the knife and he claimed to have sent the money and it would be on a 24 hour hold. I go and take a look at his second account's to see he received two more knives, a butterfly knife and flip knife. He said he would be in touch if I didn't get the money. Days pass and I did not receive an email at all about money being deposited into my account or see $900 deposit into my checking s account. I asked him on steam about it and he said he was busy and that he would go to his bank. Another day passed and I still did not receive the money. I asked him to just send the knife back and he said he would. Today, on October 12, I go and check his inventory and all the items are gone.​

These are my transactions on my Checkings account. I did not receive $900 from the day the trade was made to October 12 where the knife is gone out of his inventory. View attachment 812207 ​
