Victim profile: 76561198434864713

What happened? Description:

This person came to me and asked me if I was interested in any of his items. I said yes I wanted the aussie stickybomb launcher he directed me to mp.tf. The deposit was closed but he said there is another way, you could use the forums to deposit items. I trusted him and a fake mp.tf bot scammed me into giving up 16 items. I thought this was fishy but I had already accepted the trade offer. I went back to mp.tf to check if my items were deposited and the actual bot had responded saying that I had been scammed. I went back to the "bot" and saw that he had changed names to some sort of "database tracking items" bs. Luckily I stopped before he could steal anymore from me he almost tricked me into buying 20 keys and lord knows what would have happened there.​
