What happened? Description:

Early in the morning on the 6th of December (I think it was a Friday) I recieved a friend invite from a person called 'air boss'. I accepted and asked him what he/she wanted. He said that he wanted my Unusual Flamboyant Flamenco with the effect Power Surge and he had an unusual Fancy Fedora (I think?) which was worth about 22 buds! It was worth a lot and I really wanted to get it! So he told me to go to a person called 'puppypounder' (possibly his other account) and he said that he wanted puppypounder's 2 bill's hats and his quackenbirdt. So I said ok I'll get the items for you! So puppypounder invited me to a trade and he put in the items before I started talking to him about what I wanted to trade. And I know that I made a massive mistake because I should've thought that it was a bit suspicious, so I asked him what he wanted for them and he said my Unusual, and I wasn't too sure about trading for it so I offered him my viking bradiers and my trickster's turnout gear, but he said that he only wanted my unusual. A few times air boss messaged me saying if you don't get the items quick I will have to go to someone else (putting me under pressure to trade for the items). So I went screw it and traded for my unusual (made the biggest mistake in my gaming history) so I messaged air boss saying "I've got the items trade!" and then he went offline (later that day I realised that he blocked me and that I had been scammed!). I know that I can't get my unusual back because they only give you your items back when you have been hijacked like my friend Serris-x did. I went home after school and looked up what I could do if I have been hijacked and my heart sunk when I saw that you can't get your items back :'(. What this report is aiming for is to try to get him trade banned so he can't do this to other people!
Today 16/12/2013 I checked his account to my relief a warning pop-up came up saying ' WARNING:USER REPORTED FOR FRAUD! The community reported this user for illicit activity-- usually for a fraud attempt or regarding stolen items.
To protect yourself and prevent thieves from profiting,
do not trade with this person. Players shouldn't be encouraged to steal. Supporting them can hurt your reputation.

And his reputation emblem had a X across it saying Banned by UHC (which my friend Serris-x told me is the Unusual Hat Club). So after that I checked his inventory and my heart sunk yet again and I saw that BOTH of 'his' unusuals weren't in his inventory, so what I think has happened is that he has either traded them away, or traded them to his other private account named 'puppypounder'. If you can help please do and try to stop him from scamming other people who are new to unusual trading like me!​

This a✿✿✿✿✿✿ did the same exact thing to me. I couldn't get a screen shot of the chat. Is there anyway we can get our things back without that proof?

Hello!!!
Thank you for your report! An SR admin will review yours in a while!

Sorry to say but even with this evidence you won't be able to get your items back.

Is there possibly any way that I can get anything back?

nope.
