On the other hand it does sound like a question that I am sure has crossed all of our minds at some time.   Are all the trade/sponsor sites scams?

A definite call from me. particularly at this stage of the tournament. If you don't play premium hands strongly you will have little hope of winning.  You should also think .... "what would I do if he said nothing about stealing blinds?"  Unless you know the player very well ... you should not pay too much attention to it .. and play as if he said nothing.

Early stages in tournaments you may fold AK as the key goal is to survive the early bloodbath
