Description: Two separate incidents took place with the above subject. The first one was a scam attempt by means of false information, which is somewhat difficult to prove. The second incident took place with Jika, where the subject attempted to 'go through' with the deal. I warned him if something should go wrong, he is fully liable as I had informed him prior about the obvious red flags. However, I did not expect the scammer to attempt to break the procedure by having 'me' send him a trade invite. I was able to locate his accomplice, which I will make in another report. His reputation also screams fraud, I will audit it when time permits. The above screenshots consist of the conversations, the subject's profile in question and the scam attempt.

12:07 PM - Lüsterne Giftschlange: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/beginners-guide-to-trading-selling.677/ I'd prefer you read up on it from a reputable trader. :V
12:07 PM - ♕ | Jikå ~: Alright :)
12:07 PM - Lüsterne Giftschlange: 3) How to organize the transaction and use a middleman

Arrange the details of the transaction: The amount of money and type of items involved, which currency, who pays the fees, and how the seller wants the monetary side of the transaction to be completed. Always arrange these details before you get a middleman. If anyone refuses to use a middleman DO NOT TRADE WITH THEM! Most scammers try to avoid using a middleman so they can runoff with your items or money.

Selecting a Middleman: community admins and Trusted Sellers are the most popular choice as far as Middlemen are concerned. Always check to make sure it’s really them by checking their steam URL in the database and making sure they are part of the steam group. Also, if you are in a MCT server, you can type "!admins" (without quotes) into the chat box and it will show you who are the admins currently in the server.

When using a middleman both parties should confirm what details of the transaction (what items and how much is being paid for said items). After the middleman confirms receiving the items, they will inform both parties the items were received and then the buyer can pay the seller. The seller then checks their PayPal and confirms that they have received the payment. The middleman then gives the items to the buyer.
12:07 PM - Lüsterne Giftschlange: From the section 3 of the link I posted...basically because the person who made that guide, has far more experiance and reputation than I do in trading.
