    He got my Burning Spartan and Miami Night Harmburg.

    This guy add me and asked if im selling my hats. I said yes so next he said he want to speak with my friend. I accepted it and i gave him steam profile of my friend. He said to me that i have to give my friend hats. I did it. I told my friend to not click in any s✿✿✿ of it.
    We were in chat - my friend, I and this guy. He used second accout to scam my friend. He set same nickname, avatar and profile like my. My friend though that he was me and he traded my hats to him. After that he removed me and my friend and also took my hats. Here are all screens.

    Steam support does not give items back if they where scammed. So no, I do not think you get your items back. Its a much abused trick to get somebody to trade items to somebody and then impersonate the victim to steal the items. Never trade to a 3rd party unless that person is a bona fide MM.

    all you really can do is report the profile on steam, report it on SR, and move on.

    "During the trade process, Steam asks you to confirm your trade multiple times. It is your responsibility to review the items that you are trading. You first confirm the trade by checking the box that states, "Check this box when ready to trade". Once checked, you cannot add any items to the trade. If you remove an item you will have to re-check the box to confirm that you are ready. Once both users in the trade have checked this box, the final confirmation button will turn green. Both users must click this button to complete the trade. A log of the trade is also kept in a separate chat box within the trade window."

    They can, but they wont. They ONLY restore items in cases of hijacking, and that is only at the first time one gets hijacked. If one is multiple times hijacked.... that won't be done.
