    What happened? Description:
    This involves two steam accounts that both worked together in order for me to send my items to the middle man, which is this guy: (SteamID64 - 76561198107558460)
    | steamname: Zayden
    | steam3ID: [U:1:147292732]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:73646366
    | steamID64: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198107558460
    | customURL: https://steamcommunity.com/id/ZaydenOfficial
    | steamrep: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198107558460

    What happened was that I had items from CS:GO and TF2 both scammed from me that was done using a fake middle man. They made a csgo trading site and fooled me by adding the middle man (Zayden) who had many over 170 pages of +rep, but I should of known that they were all done around the same day on the same month. Levi added me for a trade I made in CSGO lounge that was selling my Gut Knife Tiger Tooth (Factory New) skin. He added me and got me to add Zayden who made the site called Reddit tradings (the middle man and site admin). The site also seemed legit, but I should have checked if further because it was made on the same date as Zayden's profile comments. When I added him, I sent him my items for him to 'safely hold' to which Levi would send me $125 USD in paypal. Things started to look sketchy because he said that he couldn't send it because it needed to be $200 USD or over to which he asked for some of my tf2 items to make it up. We negotiated about the items and I agreed on them by sending it to the middleman to make the total of the paypal up to $230. When that was done, they both blocked and removed me and renamed their profile adding tradeit.gg on the end of it, seeing that I got scammed and that they were making profit from my items. I have lost $200 USD because of this and now have to work back up getting them back.​

    Who did you talk to FIRST?
    Nvm I see it now - I need a FULL screenshot of the trade thru trade inventory history - open this in a web browser, hover your mouse pointer over users name so it shows up the URL to the user you traded with at the bottom.

    There we are. If you are curious about the same items again being shown in the trade history, I just bought the same items but from marketplace.tf

    Done. I've also re-did a couple of them to make the proof more solid.
