What happened? Description:

Hello. i was recently scammed for my knife from http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197978077156 for my M9 Bayonet | Fade (Factory New) that i just got as a gift from my friend. It is my nephew's birthday tommorow and i wanted to sell the knife because i had some money problems and wanted to buy him a SteamBox Machine to play on.
I searched on csgolounge.com for someone who had great reputation and was TRUSTED on the site. he had no reports on steamrep and had a big level on steam and no reports. I asked my friend if it was ok and he said yes and i continued the trade. Because he had a bigger reputation than i had he said i have to go first, and then he will send the money to my friend's paypal account(as i do not have one).
Everything went well until he had to give me the money, at which moment he blocked both of us(me and my friend) from steam and ran away with the knife. i'll put the proof down below.
Please SPAM steam support with this story and help me get the knife back.​

Provide Evidence:

You have down below the Chat, his profile and inventory, the csgolounge profile(with trusted and 50+ REP) and steamrep page.

Hello @Panda <3,

We need the Steam Inventory History of the traded items, or of that period where this happened in.

If you traded much within that period, we do need to see at least 1 trade of before and after that date.

Required Steam Settings for this exercise:
- Open the Steam Browser by double clicking the steam icon in the tray in lower right corner of your screen.
- On top left, open menu "Steam" and select "Settings".
- On the new Settings dialog box, select "Interface" and enable the tick in front of "Display Steam URL address bar when available".
- Click "OK" to close the Steam Settings dialog, applying the setting.

How to make the screenshot(s) and add them to the reply here:
- In the Steam Browser, go to your Inventory, by clicking your Nickname in the top middle and selecting "Inventory"
- On top right, click the "More" button that is shown above the game labels for the various inventories you have, and select "View Inventory History".
- Seek the trade that relates to this on the number of pages you have (look below for the requirements).
- Go to the start menu and type in the seek box "snipping", you will find in Vista and later the "Snipping Tool", click it to start it. It directly wants to make a screenshot. Select the full window excluding the very top of the steam browser window where your LOGIN name is shown. But INCLUDE the Nickname, the steam URL bar fully, both sides and full bottom of the steam browser.
- Click the "Diskette" icon, or click "File" and then "Save As...", and save it to your desktop.
- Come back here and make a reply.
- Drag the image into the reply on the forum from the desktop.

Requirements of the screenshot(s):
- Exclude the Login name and steam wallet amount that is on the very top right.
- MUST show the Steam URL in top left.
- MUST show the NICKNAME in top middle.
- MUST show the Steam window fully from left side to the right side of the window.
- MUST show the related trade from the day before to up to at least 2 days after the trade or current date if that is earlier.
- MUST show to the bottom of the steam browser window.
- You are NOT to edit the screenshot, and NOT to blank out anything.
- If you are using a custom skin, we will require you to redo this with the default Steam skin.
For an example, click this screenshot: http://files.steamrep.com/1/2014-10/2014-10-12_20-16-58.png

Hello @Panda <3,

We would also need a screenshot of the Paypal account, all transactions covering that date. We must see at least 3 transactions before, and a couple after or till now.
