You dodged a bullet there then.
As a general rule, don't drop trades with anyone you don't know well
I am fairly new to the game myself, but was cautious, he asked me to shift ctrl click on the item to link to him after i already linked the item to him.
This guy is a known scammer, he lurks on various trading form, pretend to buy high value items and ask you to drop them on floor for him to steal.
Lucky I ignored him. my advice to you is just putting him on ignore, or never do any trade with him.
Just putting it out here to help people out, especially the new folks here.
The forum doesn't allow public shamming of someone because it becomes your word against theirs. If the person made the trade with you here in the forum then there is a "report trader" button at the top of the trade screen. In the meantime I suggest that you edit your post title and remove the person's user ID from it.
Please note that we do not condone public shaming and witch hunts here as it is ultimately simply your word against theirs or worse yet, your word alone as they don't even know they're being called out.
If you get scammed by someone here, raise it with a moderator instead.
And as a general rule, do not drop-trade with people you don't know and trust.
