Which admin/mod is avaible to give my friend advice on Trading with a scammer

Recently he got an offer that he wanted to take from a scammer. I know you're not allowed to trade with scammers so I told him not to. He still had temptation so I told him to PM an admin. He chose a few but none contacted him yet.

Since this would be his first trade with a scammer, and now that he knows the FAQs, what would be his punishment now if he accepted a trade with one?

Feel free to reply or contact him if you like.

knowingly and willingly the first ? that would probably be a Caution tag.

but depends on the trade itself...

if its 20 TC Unusuals, thats a very different thing and would be more a scammer tag, vs some stuff worth couple bills/buds vs a item thats worth a couple keys (ie: below our treshold).

It really depends.

/edited the post to make it clearer.

He says thx.

Also, while on the subject of trading with scammers.
What do you do if someone trades with a Pending Report user?

In some cases, I'd hate to deny a user based on a report if the report's evidence isn't strong or is actually faked.
If it's a cash trade or Gift Wrap Trade, I'd totally reject the trade.
