    I was looking to sell my keys and found someone buying them. I added the buyer (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198056804742) and commented "got a few keys to sell" on their profile. A few minutes later, the scammer/impersonator in question added me and asked if I was selling all of my keys which I replied with yes. Then he asked for my PayPal email and because I wasn't able to use PayPal I asked if it's possible to take payment on Binance. He told me that he can do crypto, PayPal and bank transfer and proceeded to ask for my crypto wallet address. I sent him an address of an empty wallet then he immediately sent me an offer for all of my keys and wrong amount of crypto (should've been 56.64 but it was 54 instead). After I received the offer, I told him that I was busy to waste his time which he replied with "I will send the payment through your address as soon as the trade is accepted" and asked for a screenshot of the trade confirmation. When I confronted about his screenshot request, he changed his mind and told me to just tell him that I did.

    After this, I blocked the scammer.

    Screenshots of the trade and the conversation are attached to the report.

    No scam here then, you both discussed a trade and options and then both stepped away from it - just because they asked for a screenshot doesn't mean they were trying to scam you even if it didn't seem needed.
    This is based on the assumption they wouldn't pay you after the trade and you don't know that for a fact...nobody would.
    Please don't submit reports based on assumptions.
