After he wanted me to pick Unusuals from this persons inventory:

| steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198038866814,
I chose 3 items of that inventory. After that, the usual "I just want to be safe that your items are not bugged and need to be verified be a third person" storytelling started. He invited this person:

to a groupchat. After he wanted me to agree to various fake rules and statements he sent a tradeoffer-link to this profile:

He wanted me to trade my items to it, probably to steal my items from me.
After that I stated that im going to file report to all off them. Confronted with that both left that chat and I blocked them.​
