What happened? Description:

I had been attempting to sell an Unusual Whoopie Cap Terror Watt on backpack.tf. A user added me (| steamname: kasper TRADE MODE

He explained to me that he had been scammed before by items that could not be traded, so he requested that I trade my items to a friend of mine to "confirm that they weren't bugged." I complied, and he assured mew that I had proven the validity of the items and that he would proceed to buy the keys and make the trade. However, during that time, another account, the accused "Justin B" masquerading as myself (Apollo) sent my friend a trade offer for the items I believed I was trading. My friend unknowingly accepted the trade, and my items had been stolen.​
