New Scam Going On?

So basically this one person sent me a trade request asking for a neon tree frog and I asked them why, they said it was for a YT vid. So I just decided to help them look for one since they said they would give a FR turtle for it.

Coincidentally, there was someone who was trading a neon tree frog. So I asked if I could offer and they allowed me to so I kinda overpayed for it (R starfish + mochi meow) and they accepted. So I went to find the account that asked me to get them a neon tree frog and I couldn't find them.

It was kinda stupid but I'm guessing I should spread this for awareness.
