    Talk to the guy you bought it from? While it's nice you gave back the unusual to the original owner before the scam took place, there's really nothing that entitles you to get your bud back.

    So did you return the scammed hat to the rightful owner or to the guy you originally bought it from? What happened here?

    I don't want to assume anything, but based on what was said in this thread, I think this is the situation:

    WubWub buys the peace guad for a bud. Previous owner, who was scammed of it, contacts him, or WubWub decides to contact the prevous owner. Somehow, the previous owner convinces WubWub to give him the unusual back for free, or WubWub decides to of his (or her?) own volition. Some where along the way, WubWub gets the impression that SteamRep is a place where you can get money/promos/items for returning scammed items. How he got this idea is unknown, though I would guess he either was told this by a friend, or the guy who was scammed lied to him about this.

    Again, just assumptions based on what I see. If they are wrong in some way, I apologize. I was just hoping to clear this thread up, since everyone seems so confused.

    Meh, there is no solution for this. He'll have to take his loss now.

    Nice of him to give that item to the guy that got scammed, but you can't expect to get refunded.
