Victim profile: 76561198110859055

What happened? Description:

This man approached me to try and buy one of my items. He then proceeded to offer me a item, but claimed a steam moderator needed to verify my item. It then went on for 1 hour of him and me and his other account trying to get me to trade him the items. (CHECK STEAM CHAT LOGS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED)

In the end I was able to trick him into giving me his main account. I have taken the liberty to fill out the info blocks for the other two accounts involved.

This is his main account:
