First time a guy tried to scam me that way I almost handed them over because I thought it was my real friend but then my TF2 crashed and pretty much saved my ass.

Starting the convo with "Hello, sell items for money?" and a private profile is a dead giveaway.

It's funny because they don't even try to make it look legit by mixing in some real fucking english instead of that gibberish russian.

I lost a one of one Stormy Storm Your Worst Nightmare to a scammer because I thought I could trust him. Lesson learned, don't trust people online.
Yes, getting scammed really sucks but all there is to it is to move on. It might be tough, I know it was for me but it's what has to be done.
I have a theory that some of those scammer's who've added me is sharing account or something since there's been two times where it has been the same guy wanting to buy my unusual for $30+ more than what I wanted, going by a different name.
So apparently some guy called "scorp" decided to add me to "troll" me. He said he wanted to give me $500 for all my unusuals and then proceeded to call me new in trading because I didn't know who he was. If you're reading this, don't attempt to add me again.
