    Description:
    We had met on TF2 Outpost. He had been on my friends list for a reasonable amount of time, we had traded multiple times before, we played TF2 together, and we chatted. He seemed like a nice guy, overall. Upon looking at his trade history, and I noticed he had done a pretty good job of working his way up through hats, so, considering his 1000+ on the game, the fact that I could almost consider him a "Friend", and out of sheer stupidity, I asked him to broker the hat for me (My Haunted Ghosts, Vintage Merryweather, painted TS, level 64). First off, he found a Vivid Plasma triboniophorus tyrannus. The guy who was trading the triboniophorus tyrannus wanted sweets added to the deal. So I traded Arson Larson my Last Breath. He got the triboniophorus tyrannus, and gave it to me, in return for his payment, so he gave me the slug, I gave him my schadenfreude taunt (Him giving it back had boosted my confidence that he was legit). Then, I gave him the triboniophorus tyrannus back, and he traded it for a Nuts and Bolts 'Ol Geezer. He then proceeded to block me, and traded the Nuts and Bolts 'Ol Geezer, plus his Scorching Flames Pyromancer mask for a Cloudy moon Merryweather. Once I found out that he had ran away with my hat, out of anger, I told him that I was going to get him banned for his acts. Out of fear of getting banned, he moved his Cloudy Moon Vintage Merryweather out of his inventory, to his alternate account (Dark side of the Cloudy Moon). You can tell it was an alternate account because (As Mr. Rager found out, they both logged in to the same IP 3 times, Arson Larson was once named as Dark Side of the Moon, and that the account was created April 6th, the day I told him he was going to get scammed.

    Once again, I'm sorry if my description is waaay too long, and I don't have chat pictures, but I really need to make sure this guy gets caught. Thanks, if you guys need to add me for further questioning, please do.

    Sorry if it's rather confusing also, if you read the description first, the screen shots will make alot more sense.

    Just had a little chat with the marked alt, in which he starts contradicting himself when I keep asking questions. He's definitely lying, not sure if he's a guilty party in the actual scamming though: http://pastebin.com/cNVnaeq2
