What happened? Description:

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198158548550

This person added me and wanted to "buy" my Unusual.
He said he wanted a friend of mine as a Middle-Man to switch Unusuals to check if they are real.
Then, he had a third-party account
(http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198156101415/)
that had my steam name and profile picture, tricking my friend into giving him my unusual.
After that, he changed his name and profile picture to that of my friend, almost tricking me into giving him my friend's unusual, because he "wanted his (my friend's) Unusual back.
After checking his steam profile and realizing that he's not the real deal, I called him a scammer and he and the dude with the profile link I send you guys de-added me and blocked me and my friend.
So I could save the Unusual of my friend, but my Unusual is gone.
I don't demand my Unusual back, since I know the rules and it's my fault if I get scammed.
I just don't want this guy to continue tricking persons into believing that their friends want their Unusuals back and rightout give their hard-earned hats to some cheap scam.

Again, if you guys want the two links close together:

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198158548550
This is the "real" account of the Scammer.

And this is the account that changed its name to first trick my friend into believing that he's me and then almost tricked me into believing that he's my friend.

My Steam Profile:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/Cobble_Stone/

The Steam Profile of my friend (He's absolutely innocent, he's the one that fell for the scam)
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198080944362​

Provide Evidence:

Those are some screenshots of the Scam.
Because it wasn't exactly me that got scammed (it was my hat tho), I only got one half of the conversation.
Unfortunately, I don't have screenshots of the trade agreement, but chatlogs.
1-5 are screenshots of the scammer chat logs (First some of the scammer himself, the last ones of his name-changing account), 6-8 are chatlogs of me and my innocent (!) friend.
After the chatlogs, there are the inventory histories of me and my friend. Notice how my friend gave the Unusual to some "Sonny" guy, he changed his name several times now - The fact is, his name was "Cobble" at the time he gave him the Unusual.
Link to my friend:

Link to the "Sonny"-Dude (has changed his name by now)

@Cobble , I need a picture of your inventory history in a full screen Steam client browser.
I also need a picture of Kash's inventory history showing the trade to the impersonator.
