What happened? Description:

Added me for trade. Instructed me that for trade a middleman would be required so he links me to some list of middlemen where his fake middleman is among legitimate middlemen.

Here's an archived version of that list in case the accused removes it - http://archive.is/1Sxjj (original link - http://steamcommunity.com/groups/csgostone/discussions/0/2132869574255832846/)

Here's the fake middleman info block (guessing this account can also be banned):
