    What happened? Description:
    So this guy added me on steam saying he wants to buy bundle of primal beast dark behemoth collectors cache which is giftable, then he tells me he has kept a middleman aside and that middleman wiill add me in some time, after sometime he tells me nickname of middleman that he had chosen as i dont accept requests without comments, the middleman has never played dota, middleman has private steam inventory, middleman has steam level 5, This is a pretty obvious scam attempt, ill post the chat screenshots in evidence. The steam id of middleman that this guy made me add is this

    steam level 5, was private inventory could still be, never played dota 2, etc. Hoping for a quick action as many scmamers are increasing in dota 2 cache trading daily people lose money to these kind of scammers or fake middleman scammers. Kindly do the neeedful. losing 15$ skins aint much for me but trying to do some good to community. No scam took place as im aware of these tricks but at least a caution tag would help people out thanks a lot.​

    Absolutely no scam here - you can't just accuse someone of a scam if they are offering for a trade and suggest a middlman. ANYONE can be a middleman if they want..there is nothing from Valve that says otherwise. This is nothing more than you assuming someone is bad when they are clearly showing no indication of such.
    Please don't submit reports here on assumptions.
