What happened? Description:

It was 4 am in the morning and I was trading on trade servers as usual (I was trading my unusual taunt for 20 keys) then someone got intrested and added me *keep in mind i removed him and it was a big mistake* and told me that he was scammed before and asked me to agree to a middleman, I agreed due to my tired brain (also did not know about this scam method untill the aftermath)And the middleman supposely checked my inventory for "red flags"
And he told me that my inventory was full of duped items And only valve could clean them
He also told me That my account would be trade banned if i hold duped items I panicked and followed his slithery words (you'll understand how I got scammed by now) He also told me that I have to accept the trade offer in order to clean them *My reaction at the time: Scared at the point of crapping my pants "I dont want trade ban!" * And I Blindingly accepted it, also the other person who lead me to this scammer just acted scared and the middleman scammer calmed him supposivly and told me he was *helping him* so I thought "cool" and then the middleman scammer said that he's currently cleaning them then BOOM he removed me and the one who lead me was still friended But i removed him
also I think this is the middleman scammer's main account How do i know? one: He Adds people randomly two: his backpack is private secondly heres a quote from his description that gives him away "We need to check our items first with the help by any of Steam Valve Developers first just to have assurance if we are really legit item" And links to the middleman scammer! whew im smart and dont know it! *NOTE I DO NOT HAVE CHAT LOG SCREENSHOT sorry!* Plus I was tired at the time too* (And note: The middleman scammer has fake +rep on his profile I suppose)


I have proof of this being done via trade history also i got the guys steamrep info Via scammer friends list andhe randomly adds people to lure I descovered that messages on his profile And the connection between these two are clear.
*READ CARFULLY*​

Provide Evidence:

These are the evidence minus the chat log history though
And read and analyze carefully​

I found the other guys profile from the middleman scammers friends list!

Updated to point it out on this but sorry for bad editing tho

I learned from the mistake just to add a little note.
