    A friend messaged me asking how long paypal payments take to go through and told me he sold his unusual burning flames handymans handle for paypal. I asked who bought it and found out the guy he sold it to was an attempted scammer and the profile they used as middleman was a fake like this? account. I got some chatlogs from him and screenshots.

    He sent me two logs one of before and then one of after so I split them into two pastebin posts.

    Part 1

    Part 2
    http://pastebin.com/D8MKfjzp

    He sent me two screenshots and I took one showing the like this profile whos only friend was Handsome Dolphine.

    Definitely a fake middleman scam. Never trust any links from the party trading you. ALWAYS check the steamrep of the middleman and trading party yourself to verify.

    The screenshots of the trade inventory history does not show any proof of the burning flames handyman's handle that was traded.

    Apparently, it is still with the victim, (SaxxyB) Dr. Soap

    If you check his BP http://tf2b.com/tf2/76561198043870727
    Then you can see that the Burning Handyman's Handle is gone. In other words, the hat is no longer with the victim.

    PM him and he can send you one with his mouse cursor hovering over it. It wasnt there when I check and I dont believe outpost markes it as deleted until you do check with tf2b or tf2items

    Yeah it seems these two have been scamming a lot of people there are 3 or 4 threads on it. I havent talked to soap yet but I will be helping him write up a report to steam support though I dont know that they will do anything since it was paypal hopefully they can freeze those two and any other accounts owned by the same person though.

    They were already marked- am adding this to offenses. Please tell your friend to ALWAYS check SR before he agrees to a trade! Thanks for the report & additional info.
