Dat scam

[Humility The Humble]

So I was randomly added by a Steam User. He wanted my Dota 2 backpack and offered $20 for it, which was already quite an overpay seeing as I had around 16 cheap items in it and I never played Dota 2.
I let him scam me since I don't really care about Dota 2 anyways.
Here is the chat log:

... May I ask why you let him scam you? I mean, I get that you may not care about Dota2, but it is never a good idea to let a scammer get what he wants. Maybe instead of doing that you could have given it away to someone who didn't have it?

A guy traded me one day selling a nametag for a strange, I gave him two stranges worth 1 scrap each and said "is this okay?" He said "Are you sure?" and ticked his trade box.

To this day that guy thought he ripped me off. I got a nametag for 2 scrap.

I didn't really care about Dota 2 and I felt like I kinda deserved it.

Lawl, I remember trading one guy a weapon for a V. Crossbow

I got a call from an Indian-accented guy saying I won an airplane ticket from the US government because I paid my taxes on time.

I'm not even employed.

one guy tried to get me to trade my unusual for 22 scrap and a name tag once

I could've had an unusual and a salvaged crate from bad trades. Damn my conscience holding me back!

Someone asked me a few days ago if I would give them a free copy of a game in my backpack. When I responded that I would be willing to give it to them if they offered a fair trade, she (the owner of the account claimed to be a she, but that's probably not true) cursed me out, and then removed me from her friends list.
