    What happened? Description:
    So I have a Huntsman Knife that I'd like to trade. What I did was I submitted a couple of threads onto different sites like Discord, Steam, and Reddit. This user Appropriate_Meal_817 sent me a message asking if it's still available to trade. I said yes, then we proceeded to negotiate.
    Firstly, he wanted me to check the prices which honestly wasn't suspicious. He then asked me what type of knife I am into, I started to name them but then he sent 5 screenshots of "his" knives. Oddly though the images were cropped in a weird fashion. I asked for their floats, then decided to go with the Huntsman Knife Stained. I sent him my steam trade link which I included in the thread I made beforehand, he then asked me if I can do a pending offer to make sure that I can confirm the trade via steam guard, by this time I was already suspicious because I linked my TL two times and he didn't send the offer. I then called him out on wasting my time but decided to push it a bit further to see what he was actually up to. I photoshopped some images of my previous trade attempts but that wasn't pleasing enough for him and wanted me to crop the images so the "cancel trade" button would show, of course, I photoshopped that one too, I never actually offered the knife to my friend but used a graffiti. After sending him the screenshot I never got a response.

    I found his steam account via a trade screenshot he made.​

    Provide Evidence:
    The evidence is attached below. Did not crop any screenshots, the knife screenshots were already cropped when I got them.​

    You were noted the below link prior to clicking the submit a report button but must have over looked it - please do not do so in the future.
