    Accused profile: 76561198153789833

    Victim profile: 76561198121891250

    What happened? Description:
    His added me, pretended to be a new player who unboxed a god-tier (Burning Hound Dog painted gold), I excitedly told him what the item was worth and he insisted that I should buy it, we traded, I gave him an offer at around 6 buds or more, including 16 key + Vintage Gentle Mann's Badge+Circling Logo Coup D'isaster, and I told him I was leaving some space for profit. He closed the trade. Then begged for weapons. Retraded me, he added the unusual that was painted gold and I added weapons and miscs in addition to the stuff earlier, we both hit ready and accepted the trade. A nuts & bolts Hound Dog painted gold appeared in my inventory. Additional info: He calls unusuals purple hats​

    Provide Evidence:

    Coincidentally, he is also a previous owner of Smiggin's Sunbeams Bonk Helm http://backpack.tf/item/240570259, as you can see in the Bonk Helm's item inventory.
    Not sure if he is an alt or a victim.​

    Found more evidence, as I explained above, the scammer replaced the Burning Hound Dog painted gold with a Nuts and Bolts one, I put the Nuts one that he scammed me with on the market, guess what? His alt added me! Screen Shot 2014-10-25 at 19.37.25.png
    His profile shows that he is friends with the scammer I reported. My community was messed up so here's another one: Screen Shot 2014-10-25 at 19.45.26.png
    Chat history from when he added me.

    My trade didn't work so I asked him to send a trade offer.
    Screen Shot 2014-10-25 at 19.38.21.png
    He cancelled the trade offer shortly after:
    Screen Shot 2014-10-25 at 19.45.16.png My hypothesis is that he was planning on repeating his scamming process.
