    His profile, notice how I cant see it even tough Iam on his friend list: http://oi46.tinypic.com/r2kyg3.jpg

    Description:
    Were both on a group, so he added me from there. He seemed like a good guy, acted nice and everything. I started to trust him and I asked for an unusual he had, so he said: “If you do me a favor I will give it to you for free.” I trusted him, so I gave him some items you can see on my trade history. He said he would give them back later, but then asked for more. He gave me a hat and a S. Sticky Bomb, but they weren’t close to the price of the items I gave him. He then stopped responding and I went to his profile, but I couldn’t see it. I searched up a bit about him and found out he has already scammed before.
    Another report of him: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/76561198070552681-max.16876/#post-55434

    I know more people who were scammed by this guy, hope this scammer gets busted.

    General rule of thumb: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Even if someone seems nice, a free unusual for a 'favour' is stretching it. It's most likely a charade.

    The pics I provided are all I have. I didnt took a screenshot of the trade or chat since I didnt thought I would get scammed.

    Unfortunately, without chat history I just don't have enough evidence. However, I will be looking at the other reports on him now and will make notes about this. Thank you for the report. :)

    *Edit- He's now tagged so I will note this on his profile as a possible "long con" scam.
