    What happened? Description:
    I added a person on steam to discuss a trade. He had some keys that were untradable, so I decided to keep him as a friend and wait. After a week, he suggested a youtube video about a guy named Jhon Marley who was giving out free items. I found that all of his keys and valuable items were gone. I traced the history, and most went to an account named Jhon Marley. I looked at this guy's account, and saw that he had gained around $400 worth of items with only 19 keys going out, mostly to a private account. I looked at items Jhon received, and noticed that they were all in bulk. After tracing two of the owners of some of the items, it turned out they were scammed. I added the scammer on steam, and acted like I was referred to him by a friend. He proceeded to offer me any items in the game up to 1500 keys worth of items. After agreeing, he said his "bot" would send me a trade. This trade contained every valuable item in my backpack. He claimed that this trade would not remove my items if I accepted, and that I would receive the items I requested when I launched TF2. He also requested that I tell everyone else about him. I screenshotted everything, then backed out.
    Evidence is attached. If more of the scammed people accept my friend, I will attach conversations as well.
    Quick note: this profile is a known alt of someone banned on backpack.tf for being a known scammer, and is banned on backpack.tf. In addition, the person who Jhon Marley is an alt of (https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198297458532) has a second account named Jhon Marley as well, found here https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198311445392 . This one is VAC banned and banned on steamrep.
    He also has two youtube videos promoting this:

    Note: I know some of my screenshots contain partially duplicate chatlogs, I took more than needed in case I lost a screenshot. Apologies.
