Today I found a new friend request from some weird looking profile
i accepted anyways, and i already knew something is going on so i waited to see what is going on
there's some dude claimed i bought his 1500$ knife and he didn't receive the payment via steam market !?
you kidding me ? steam market is a scam ?
you good kid ?!
the kid took hours to fake the transactions and it's looking perfect except for the part that i bought something that worth of 1500$!!!
The maximum amount of money i spent on my count is 50$
what a surprise mate, i am a sane person who got a life not willing to spend 1500$ on a skin, who cares.
I am amazed by how creative the lie is
he blocked after i exposed him

Very old type of scam. Make sure you report the account too.

One little correction: you think it's some "kid," but in reality it's (most likely) an automated bot account from a scamming farm in China.

Accepting random requests is literally begging people to scam you.

1 - i think he is a kid beacuse of his interactions like someone who had no experience
2 - he said he is from hong kong which looks like a Lie for me
3 - you might be right and you might be not (who cares anyways)
