    Okay here's the scenario, I bought earbuds from the Scammer guy. He didn't seem so suspicious because he had fakerep and I didn't do background search. I sent him the money after having a good chat and then he said that he's checking his paypal and his "internet is s✿✿✿, sorry that this takes long..." and then said to me he was taking a s✿✿✿ and was logged on with a phone.
    He clearly was on a tradeserver trying to sell the buds. I checked this but I didn't get a screenshot. Then he deleted me from steam friends.

    After this my friend An Apple adds him to friends and shows interest to buy the buds for dollars. Afterwards An Apple pretends that he has a steamrep admin friend and the scammer would get instantly banned if I didn't receive my buds.
    And after this incident, the scammer added me back to friends and traded me the buds with lightning f✿✿✿✿✿✿ speed.

    Tradepost in outpost: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/4890265 , note that this was shutdown instantly after the scam.
    A new tradepost was instantly opened afterwards to scam more cash: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/4893350



    My friend An Apple added this guy into his friends, here is their steam chat screenshots:

    http://i.imgur.com/uvIpl.jpg , the scammer says that he is a verified paypal user, but from my proof of payment screenshot you can clearly see he is unverified.
    http://i.imgur.com/MeOIk.jpg , more proof that he is the same guy earlier on.

    Here is our steam chat after him giving the buds to me:

    Please ban this disgusting scammer.

    Eternally in your debt,

    PS. I'm waiting for him to see this thread and come here defend himself with no proofs.
