They have both blocked me, and have recieved all 4 items:
- Genuine Ice Baby Roshan
- World Chasm Artifact
- Golden Hydrakan Latch
- Eternal Radiance Blades

Meruem added me on steam the following day after I posted information about the Ice Baby Roshan Courier on dota-trade.com, and spoke with me today and introduced me to this trading system that I am new to. I have now lost all 4 items and am contacting support, and have reported their steam profiles.​

Provide Evidence:

The following screenshots of the trade between me, the buyer and the middleman.

Initially I agreed with the buyer for 700$'s via Western Union Money Transfer for the Genuine Ice Baby Roshan Courier, and sent the middleman the item. As we are about to proceed, the buyer asks for more items in return for 760$'s total, and I had to include 3 more items so that he can 'tip the middleman or pay the middleman's fee' with some of the items he would purchase. The 3 additional items were: Genuine Eternal Radiance Blades, World Chasm Artifact, and Golden Hydrakan Latch.
Finally after having sent the middleman all items, and proceeding to await payment from the buyer, I get kicked out of the chat with the middleman and the buyer, and get blocked by both users on steam.

I was supposed to get a confirmation code from the buyer, a code that I can take to western union and ask for my money. I cannot contact either of the users because they have both blocked me on steam, and my items were sent to this middleman. Him and the buyer must be working together on this scam, I don't believe this person should ever be trusted, and I would be lucky to ever get back my items.
If there is any kind of proof you would like me to submit, please inform me so that I get it.
And included in the screenshots are the last messages I received from both the buyer and the middleman before they blocked me, neither of which has provided me with the code to redeem my cash from western union.

Let me put it in another way, If i had gotten my 760$'s I wouldn't have bothered with all of this...

In screenshot 7, i specifically ask the buyer about the number/code he needs to provide me
He says he will send me the code now, and then I get kicked from the other chat, and he becomes offline because they removed me from their freinds list, and blocked me.
I can post a screenshot with proof that they have both blocked me on steam...

Here you go:
I've got this feeling these guys are gonna get away with 700$+ worth of my stuff and not even get banned on steam.
Either way, I should not have been kicked out from the chatroom had this been a good middleman, he should by the book, have sent confirmations, both him and the buyer should have sent confirmations, and neither of them did, and both of them immediatly blocked me. How do you explain that?
