    An album with three pictures; one of the chat between the scammer and I, one of my trade history with the scammer, and another of the scammer's backpack on backpack.tf on the date of the trade. I could not get a picture of the trade chat before it was closed, but it is described in the section below.

    Description:
    This happened on February 3rd, 2013. I was at a server named "OzzyFurocity.net | US-E #10 - Trade Plaza [Stats|Alltalk|Find]" (IP: 209.222.100.83:27069 , Map: trade_plaza). At about 12:30 PM, I asked if anybody would like to trade for Unusuals. The scammer, who was named " KÑiller_pÑu:#ta[¨*tod " at the time, ended up trading with me. I asked him if he wanted to trade Unusuals, and he said that he wasn't selling them, but instead buying them. I put my Unusual Ol' Geezer, with Stormy Storm effect, painted Operator's Overalls, level 40, into the trade window. I asked him to make an offer. He said that he would give me $50 in Steam funds. I said no to the offer. He then went up to $60 in Steam funds. I still was unsure. He then made an offer of $70 in Steam funds. I was nervous about it, but I said okay to the offer. He sent me the chat shown in the Screenshots section, and tricked me into believing he had added $69.99 of Steam funds into my wallet, and that I could find it in the Cart in the store. I believed him and we completed the trade, as shown in the Inventory History screenshot. Shortly after, he left the server, blocked all communications with me, changed his name from " KÑiller_pÑu:#ta[¨*tod " to " The Spanish Bastardo ", made his inventory private, and made his profile friends-only. You can see that my Unusual Ol' Geezer was in his inventory as of 2/3/13 in the screenshot of the website backpack.tf and his backpack as of that date, before he changed his inventory to private.

    Even though it might not be relevant or appropriate, I thought this might be of use; it seems that the scammer has used the same trick on others previously (http://tf2-trader.com/index.php?topic=22502.0).

    Of course, if you have any other questions or need to know anything else about my problem, just ask me via this thread or my Steam. Thank you for your time.
