Description:
We all know the modus operandi by now. Accused added me, and asked if the knife was still for trade. I asked him to offer on it. He offered the first item, a skin I did not like. He then went on to offer a Karambit | Doppler (FN), which my friend explained was "legit sexy as fuck", and goes for a good 300 Euros easily. That naturally set my scam radar off, and I questioned him about it, to which he replied, "I like your knife more." So I asked that we proceed to the trade. He then told me that he needs to check if the knife is clean and safe, and asked that an admin check it for legitimacy. (Guess that explains his giant backpack.) I called him out for being a scammer, and immediately got blocked.

23:39 - GR: OK, for one second I saw those items, and thought you legit wanted to trade me
23:39 - GR: But you are just one of those idiot scammers who thinks I do not know what dupes are.
23:40 - GR: So I will ask you this.  Do you want to trade for the knife directly or not?
23:40 - GR: If you do not, I will be removing you.

This is what I get for not being thorough with my report. The scammer, as it turns out, was impersonating another trader, who as it turns out was the one I reported.

The REAL scammer is this guy :
| steamname: Hotted
| steam3ID: [U:1:296840507]
| steamID32: STEAM_0:1:148420253

Accused Steam Profile (The real scammer) http://files.f-o-g.eu/aa47bce3820d550eb1593f1da7gggge1

As I can see now, he was already tagged, and the only reason I didn't catch it before was because I was logged on an alt when I checked him via Enhanced Steam, so he wasn't added there. So this report means nothing. Closing this report, before it does any damage to the innocent trader.

 

I won't close the report, I've edited the main post and the subject line to reflect the real scammer.

Spoiler

Here is the user user that was impersonated (and mistakingly reported):
| steamname: Hotted
| steam3ID: [U:1:21030013]
| steamID32: STEAM_0:1:10515006
| steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197981295741
| customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/alanator89
| steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197981295741

The accused was marked for a separate offence, so will be adding notes to his SteamRep profile which will add two new offences. An attempted bugged item scam and impersonation of the person in the spoiler above.
