Accused profile: 76561198429263397

Victim profile: 76561198125940682

What happened? Description:

He added me and tried to impersonate another Steam player to get me to check my item on OPSkins, i.e., the OPSkins scam method. I was incredibly suspicious, since not only have I heard of this method, but also his backpack was private. I kept beating around the bush, trying to fish info from him, but he never sent the scam link.​

Provide Evidence:

He offered me 42 keys for my 40 key australium... not really sure what to put here...​

jolttrh trade.tf: Hello, how may I help you?
Pizza: hello

jolttrh trade.tf: Not particularly, looking to offer?
Pizza: yeah i just want to ask if your Strange Professional Killstreak Australium Scattergun is still up for trade? i can offer a good price on it
jolttrh trade.tf: It's still up for trade, but I'm only taking TF2 items, not cash or anything else.
Pizza: yeah can i offer 42 keys on it ?
jolttrh trade.tf: Depends on if you have it. Your backpack is private, which is kind of suspicious tbh
