    RAssa: how
    flamewheel: I have to talk with Musical_Hog, the administrator for middlemen on Reddit.
    flamewheel: I don't know the procedure myself, but they apparently do.
    RAssa: ok
    RAssa: don't mistake
    RAssa: next time
    flamewheel: If I had to guess, it probably involves getting that person bans.
    flamewheel: Banned.
    RAssa: sorry for my rude
    flamewheel: And then having the items retrieved by Valve.
    RAssa: i really angry caus i'm scammed 3times

    flamewheel: Okay, here's the official position.
    flamewheel: I need to talk with Musical_Hog tomorrow.
    flamewheel: To sort out the situation.
    flamewheel: I will save as much information as I can now.
    flamewheel: We need to do an investigation to see if you were involved in this issue.
    flamewheel: While unlikely, there is circumstantial evidence that you could be part of the scam attempt with "Kenneth"
    flamewheel: If you were not involved, the items will be returned to you.
    RAssa: k
    flamewheel: Still here?
    RAssa: yup
    RAssa: i'm here
    flamewheel: Okay, in the chance that we can't track the items down, I am going to give you my own money.
    flamewheel: However, the items are worth $160, not $200.
    RAssa: k
    flamewheel: (Obviously, the guy offered you a lot more because he wasn't going to pay anyway)
    flamewheel: So if we can't get the issue solved in a timely fashion, I will notify you and we'll work out the PayPal.
    RAssa: so i write my

    flamewheel: So we'll work it out at that time.
    RAssa: k
    flamewheel: Okay?
    flamewheel: Again, I'm very sorry for what happened tonight.
    flamewheel: I'm not going to make any excuses--it was my fault that you lost your items.
    flamewheel: And we will make it up to you, either by getting the items back to you or with the cash value.

    Did a bit of checking and two different flamewheels came up. Seems this is a case of impersonation as well.

    The real:
    | steamname: flamewheel
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:45228428
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198050722585
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/flamewheel
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198050722585

    The impersonator:
    | steamname: Unknown
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:44668176
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198049602080
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198049602080

    Hope this helps.
