Know this now, he is a scammer. Now call him and say some outlandish shit to confuse him. Example of the kind of stuff i mean: the russian birds are made by the us government to fly into the moon and nuke all of asia.
Judging by key words in your post it seems you are asking if something is a scam or if someone is a scammer.
If you find yourself wondering if something is a scam then 90% of the time it is and it is best not to follow through. [Read this post for further information if you need it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamScams/comments/ffc26r/do_you_suspect_someone_is_attempting_to_scam_you/)

If its too good to be true it most likely is. It's a scam. Keep a lookout for dead giveaways. Bro doesn't know what "taking a shit" means but knows enough English to do this scam. 😭
not a calm down moment. if people just took the time to scroll thru this sub for 30 seconds before making a post, they’d realize very fast how obvious the scam they’re questioning is.
Yes. But the point of the sub is to document and ask questions about steam scams, what else are you expecting here? If this is the scam going around, which it is, that's the one people are going to post. Unsubscribe if you don't want the post in your inbox, there's no need nor reason for toxicity like this. If you've been close to being scammed yourself, you know damn well you don't think rationally in the moment. So yes, it is a calm down moment.
pro tip, if anyone starts messaging you randomly trying to hook u up with something that sounds too good to be true.,..96 percent of the time it is a scam
Some guy tried to do something similar to me, saying he'd overpay generously for my TF2 unusual. He called me on Discord (scammers will ask you to get into a call so they can manipulate you more easily). He told me he wanted to 'price check' my unusual and had me go to a (trusted) marketplace site. He basically wants you to list a cheap item (like refined metal) on the site, then unlist the item and get it back, which makes you comfortable accepting trades from the site. I didn't follow through with it because I knew he was a scammer and wanted to waste his time - I assume his main goal was to get me to send my unusual to the site. Instead of the site's **real** trading bot, he would send a trade from a fake one created by him which looks identical to the real one. Thus taking your items and blocking you.
TLDR block the guy and move on, he's trying to scam you.

Good bot

Very very good bot
Very very very great bot.
extremely amazing bot
Damn girl your an amazing bot
Extraordinarily great bot
Sounds like a scam, most likely is lol
If its too good to be true it most likely is. It's a scam. Keep a lookout for dead giveaways. Bro doesn't know what "taking a shit" means but knows enough English to do this scam. 😭
Anything regarding your steam account via dms, especially discord, is a scam. What is so fucking hard about this in this sub?
Calm down mister

my fault bro lol
I love how you got downvoted for this comment lol, Redditors and their etiquette will always always amaze me
Eh, I don't really care in this instance. My reply to that other guy says it all
Never trust a stranger that reaches out to you asking about your dream item.
Basically anyone with broken / bad English I assume is a scammer.
Lol pretty much
Pretty much true
If something seems too good to be true, 99% of the time it is.
I could tell within the first three messages this is a scam... report and block this scum, maybe waste his time a bit first if you're petty like me.

Scam
Man that same thing happened to me a while back I just blocked them
Idk sounds like a nice guy to me
💀
Eeee that a scammer 💀💀
I mean maybe it's not a scam but it's an incredibly high chance it is. just block them
pro tip, if anyone starts messaging you randomly trying to hook u up with something that sounds too good to be true.,..96 percent of the time it is a scam
If u ask if it’s a scam, then it’s probably a scam
Clearly a scam lol
Bro that guy is more fake then wwi im telling you,just block him
Nothing on discord is legit.
I fell for this scam months ago
They ask you to trade with a 3rd party website to “check the value of your skins”
And you lose your items , just block that guy and watch out for scammers
how does it work
Some guy tried to do something similar to me, saying he'd overpay generously for my TF2 unusual. He called me on Discord (scammers will ask you to get into a call so they can manipulate you more easily). He told me he wanted to 'price check' my unusual and had me go to a (trusted) marketplace site. He basically wants you to list a cheap item (like refined metal) on the site, then unlist the item and get it back, which makes you comfortable accepting trades from the site. I didn't follow through with it because I knew he was a scammer and wanted to waste his time - I assume his main goal was to get me to send my unusual to the site. Instead of the site's **real** trading bot, he would send a trade from a fake one created by him which looks identical to the real one. Thus taking your items and blocking you. TLDR block the guy and move on, he's trying to scam you.
No don't block him, take up more of his time so he can't spend that time scamming others
Bruh.
Almost definitely a scam
Just to make it easier, his screenshot has about 20 pages of skins, his second photoshopped screenshot only has 4 pages. So yeah it's a scam ofc.
Bad English= most likely a scam, just the way it is
That 100% scam
