He sent me a friend request and I accepted. He said he would sell me a clean kringle for my requested price. He sent me a trade, I put the respective amount of metal in and he put in a clean kringle. Then he closed the trade, resent it and we did the same thing except for the fact that he had put in a dirty kringle collection this time. In the chat logs that I screenshotted he had showed no mercy, saying it's my fault. If it helps, here's a reddit post I made seconds later. http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2trade/comments/12jt43/q_i_just_got_scammed_out_of_the_price_of_a_clean/ [ code ] knifehawk: Hello Fried Shicken: hey Fried Shicken: i wanna do the kringle for 14.66 trade knifehawk: Okay sweet knifehawk: Let me smelt some ref real quic for ya Fried Shicken: alrighty Fried Shicken: did you cancel? knifehawk: Nope knifehawk: It expired :/ Fried Shicken: um Fried Shicken: retrade then Fried Shicken: dude Fried Shicken: wtff knifehawk: It says you cancelled it Fried Shicken: I didn't? knifehawk: Let's retrade steam's being a punk knifehawk: It's Team knifehawk: *Steam Fried Shicken: do this fast as possible Fried Shicken had asked to trade with you, but has cancelled their request.

More information, he started commenting on my reddit post and once I posted the screenshot of the chat he removed and blocked all his comments from the thread. He said he transfers all his items to an "alt-account" so I went to his steam profile which wasn't blocked and now it is. I can get more info from a mutual friend , his friend added me saying that he's on the guy's friend list and that he wishes me the best of luck, positively.
Okay, the mutual friend says his inventory is blocked from friends too. His friend, who I shall keep anonymous. Says that I should ask steam to check his trade history for his "alt-account". His alt-account is where he made it sound a lot like he puts his stolen booty. I'll keep you updated as more comes in. Thank you.
Just in case - you might want to screen his dicketry in that reddit thread as well before the coward deletes it all. He's still bragging on and on.
Another update for you all actually reading these. I checked my reddit to see all the replies from the thread and I got a private message from the scammer. Here's what he has to say "Bravo, bravo! You actually managed to get me marked on SR! Oh wait, no you didn't. Well, at least you tracked down my alt and was able to find out which profile has my ite- oh, you didn't do that either. Huh, not much was accomplished on your end then, was it? Glad to see this is working out for you. <3" Here's a screenshot for further evidence. http://i.imgur.com/CZDbN.png
Yeah, I didn't really feel like waiting another 8 minutes to post a comment, so I just said it to you in a PM. Thanks though for showing everyone for me, because like I said, I didn't feel like waiting in the comments.
Hey man, if you want, we could re-do this trade and forget this all ever happened. Delete the reddit post, the SR post, etc.
