Detailed Explanation / Screenshots / Demos:

The user sent me a Trade Offer, claiming to have a "Fire and Ice" Factory-New StatTrak Gut Knife. Upon inspection and reference to the patterns associated with the community-made terminology "Fire and Ice," it is evident that the user is lying about the (would-be valuable) pattern in order to scam me. It's just a regular Marble Fade and he took the extra step to lie, making it a scam.

Here is one of many highly-reputable community-made guides on "Fire and Ice" Knives, proving the user to be attempting to scam me. His knife, Pattern 222, is near the very bottom of the list of all patterns (ranked by closeness to "Fire and Ice"), nowhere near any item that would ever be considered "Fire and Ice" or even "fake Fire and Ice"

Do you have the chat? For all I know, he could of genuinely thought it was fire and ice.

There is no chat. But given that Fire & Ice Guides are so available and that there is obviously a noticeable amount of yellow on both sides of the knife, I think it's incredibly unlikely that the user had never inspected their own item and didn't understand that "Fire & Ice" means only red and blue coloration but still used the terminology. In my opinion, it's a clear attempt at deception.
