Victim profile: 76561198059422025

What happened? Description:

I put a particuarly expensive item up on the steam store and this guy added me relatively quickly (never heard of him before or anything). Asked me my price and said he'd pay me through paypal even offering to pay first as I've been scammed in the past. He kept double pasting messages by accident, avoiding questions and trying to push me to do the trade quicker, also asked if i had anything else for sale, he conveniently chose the 3 most expensive things in my inventory. He then asked me my price, in which i gave him a higher price than he could buy elsewhere off steam, he accepted instantly. He avoided all my questions about his name changes/name history clearing and his very unvaluable steam inventory for a "trader" and kept asking me to do the trade. Also asked me for some assurance before he "sent" the money, but i called him out at that point, at that point he stopped replying and deleted me. His profile looks very interesting at first, but when you look into it more it's cheap/free items in his inventory.​
