    What happened? Description:
    I was sitting next to my friend as he was trading with this person. Recently he unboxed an unusual haunted phantasm jr handyman's handle and went on an unusual trade server because he didn't really like the hat so he wanted to swap it for something more prettier. So, this guy start inviting him to a trade telling him if someone is selling it to him for over 14 keys its a scam little did he know it was Ryan asking how much it was worth so he could sell it, so he found that out and he offered bills and 6 keys. Ryan didn't know what to do so he doesnt do anything at the moment, then the guy says he has a friend that would pay 2 buds for it and ryan was wanting to do that. well ryan gave the guy the unusual and the guy put 3 keys in the trade later on ( the guy has the unusual now) and kept saying you said keys instead of buds all though me and ryan was pretty sure he wrote buds. All in all he just got scammed and now the guy wont give him his unusual back. I only have a chat pasted to me from paste bin so i can report it myself because ryan is pretty upset right now.​

    Provide Evidence:

    1. Never tell your password to anyone.

      vanillabeanduck: well it must be lagging, because I sold it
      Ryan: why do this to me
      vanillabeanduck: I'm not doing anything?
      vanillabeanduck: you said
      vanillabeanduck: I unbnnoxed it with 1key
      vanillabeanduck: so 3keys is a profit
      vanillabeanduck: and you can keep 1key for yoruself....
      Ryan: never said that
      vanillabeanduck: well somethign along those lines
      Ryan: replace keys with buds
      vanillabeanduck: really?
      vanillabeanduck: Ok, let me go get it back
      Ryan: ok
      Ryan: thank you
      vanillabeanduck: he says no -_-
      Ryan: well i guess you should give me something good then
      vanillabeanduck: our deal was 3keys
      vanillabeanduck: and 1 for me
      Ryan: not keys buds
      vanillabeanduck: maybe you made a mistake
      vanillabeanduck: you definately said keys
      Ryan: no i didnt
      Ryan: remember instantrabies? the one that was in front of you the whole time we were talking? he is right next to me and saw everything
      vanillabeanduck: who?
      Ryan: my friend watched the whole trade and he was in the server
      vanillabeanduck: Ok, so he knows you said keys then?
      Ryan: he knows you said buds, he trusted you and now you are putting keys on the trade. he knows alot more about trading than me and thought it was really lucky for this to happen.
      vanillabeanduck: who is it?
      Ryan: instantrabies
      Ryan: he is on my friends list and saw the whole thing
      Ryan: it is my first unusual and i wanted more than just "3 or 4 keys"
      vanillabeanduck: You told me.
      vanillabeanduck: That you used 1key to unbox it.
      vanillabeanduck: You wanted 3keys
      vanillabeanduck: that's wht you said
      Ryan: yeah thats not what was said. so this is definitely a scam
      vanillabeanduck: well it is.
      vanillabeanduck: I Know it is.
      Ryan: i know so too
      vanillabeanduck: good
      Ryan: how about you spare the stress from me and give my unusual back
      vanillabeanduck: so what's the problem?
      Ryan: a good unbox gone to waste because of a scammer, thats the problem.
      vanillabeanduck: not at all.
      vanillabeanduck: I was getting you your 3keys like you asked
      Ryan: uh, you just said this was a scam and now you are saying it isnt?
      vanillabeanduck: I never said I scamed you wtf.....
      Ryan: Ryan: yeah thats not what was said. so this is definitely a scam
      vanillabeanduck: well it is.
      vanillabeanduck: I Know it is.
      vanillabeanduck: No.
      vanillabeanduck: I meant, I know that it is what you said
      vanillabeanduck: you definately said that
      Ryan: just give the unusual back, the servers arent lagging. i know it isnt.
      vanillabeanduck: what has lag got to do with anything?? wtf.
      Ryan: vanillabeanduck: well it must be lagging, because I sold it
      vanillabeanduck: Oh, f✿✿✿ sake, get a clue mate.
      vanillabeanduck: Your pc must be laggingy
      vanillabeanduck: refresh it.
      Ryan: i think computers dont lag the item server
      vanillabeanduck: do you want your keys or not?
      Ryan: well i'd like my unusual back, other wise ill copy this entire chat and the screenshots and report it to steam support
      vanillabeanduck: Do that. because I know that I am in the right
      vanillabeanduck: and you are in the wrong
      Ryan: you definitely arent. the wrong is that you are scamming.
      vanillabeanduck: I am not scamming.
      vanillabeanduck: At all.
      vanillabeanduck: your hat was worth 10keys
      vanillabeanduck: you only paid a key for it
      Ryan: i was just trying to get a better hat i liked, i dont care about profits
      Ryan: i unboxed it, low chance.
      Ryan: worth more
      Ryan: bud

      vanillabeanduck: 1.6buds?
      vanillabeanduck: thougtht you got offered 1.6keys...?
      vanillabeanduck: why would you say yes to 3keys if you got offered 1.6buds?
      Ryan: is buds another word for keys or something?

      vanillabeanduck: yeah, before I sold it, I had it
      vanillabeanduck: of course I had it
      vanillabeanduck: that doesn't make me a scammer
      vanillabeanduck: or anything.
      Ryan: and now you made your inventory private.
      Ryan: this is obviously a scam man
      vanillabeanduck: Well it isn't, but think what you want

    Can you please have the victim pop into this report and provide screenshots of the chat, showing a trade agreement for something other than what the victim received? Without cropping or editing them, please.

    We will also need the victim to provide their inventory history. If you don't have the URL bar visible within Steam, please enable it. To enable the URL bar, go to View -> Settings -> Interface. Check the box next to Display Steam URL address bar when available. To access your inventory history, hover over your name in the Steam window, and click Inventory. Click More -> View Inventory History. I need the full inventory history from the date before the transaction in question until the day after.

    Hey there,

    As I've said in the chat log posted above,
    this guy told me that he unboxed the unusual with 1key, got offered 1.6keys, and said that if I get him 4 keys I can keep one of them.
    So I've taken his unusual and sold it. Tried to give him the 3keys and the chat as above followed. I only trade unusual hats if they have a price listed on backpack.tf/unusuals ,
    I know some go for very little (for what they are) and this particular hat had no price. So he wanted 3 keys and I asked a friend who said he would buy it for 4keys, and I made the trade for him.

    This scam report is now effecting my trading and I would like it to be removed, or listed as something that won't appear on my SteamRep profile.

    Thanks, Vanillabeanduck.
