    The trade occurred Sunday 09-24-12 around 2:00 EST

    The trade was between Strike (CZE) (now Lucky Guy (CZ) ) and Blenderbird.
    The trade that was agreed upon was the trading of a scorching festivizer, scorching hardcounter and a bud for what was suppose to be a H.o.u.w.a.r. It is understood now that the person in question changed the description and name tag of a "Full Head of steam" and gift wrapped this item indentifing it as a Houwar. However when the the wrap was opened the hat that was inside was a "Full Head of Steam". This trade was an obvious scam, not just an unfair trade, he falsely advertised a product. The scammer has since changed his name and has sold the hats. I am in contact with the person who had bought the hats, he agreed that something was wrong because he was able to buy the hats cheap and fast. (both hats traded for 3 buds). He has been more then helpful even providing screen shots of his trade with the scammer.

    I am fairly new to TF2 trading and wasn't aware of this site. I know i made a poor decision but i've learned from it. Well needless to say i've lost a couple unusuals and a bud. Im hoping something can be done but im not holding my breath. I just want the community to be aware of these two scammers and hopefully we can get them removed.

    thanks for viewing
