What happened? Description:

He scammed me out of 2 TF2 Unusuals, a 1/2 Strange GE Noble + Purple Confetti Convict Cap

I knew them previously through trading and so did many others, you would see him active on trade servers, He came to me about SFM, i passed but offered to sell him an unusual if he makes enough ( Since he was planning to rebuild, he had barely anything and had cashed out ), he had enough reputation I trusted him when he offered to pay me on a Tuesday, 3 days after the trade after he gets a paycheck and can buy keys. He would use the 3 days to keep trading and grow in the meantime. Makes sense, i sent the 2 unusuals over to him and thought nothing of it, tried to keep in touch but after sunday he stopped speaking to me and didn't respond. I later learned he quicksold the Convict Cap to a bot before backpack.tf even registered it in his inventory, now in the #159 ranked inventory on the site. The other he struggled more to dump due to the rarity. I have a screenshot of him trying to quicksell to someone i later reached out to about him being a exit scammer on his friends list. I couldn't attatch the image below due to 10 images putting me over the 15 image cap but i have the screenshot of all his steam chats between Ewan and Broccoli Dood. I can provide anything else asked as long as someone can look into this. I am not sure how many others he was able to take from, it may have just been me, maybe not. As long as someone looks into I have the backing of other traders who also noticed the scam when he messaged them, such as Rainy ( another TF2 Trader ). I got mad at the scam and was discussing it in his trading server which a few hours later was deleted by him due to the amount of activity around it. I hope this was all I needed, anymore I would be glad to provide, please just take a look into it. His account has also went private since.​

You wont be doing trades for a while, im going to get you banned everywhere

I apologize for my lateness, this screenshot is the actual agreement on 85 keys, the second screenshot shows his statement on delivering the 85 keys in a few days after the trade. He wished to recieve it early to trade quicker and get the ball rolling

Sorry for my lateness again, For both unusuals from the screenshot, a 1/2 Strange Green Energy Noble Amassment of Hat and Purple Confetti Convict Cap

My apologies Horse, here you go, you are right, I did open the thread I just didn't get a chance for full screenshots and it slipped my mind, wont happen again. screenshot Trade1.png is beginning at the day of the scam, Trade7.png is the current day

That was chrome, here is on steam client with the url at the top, as before TradeS1.png is the first, initial scam, up to TradeS7.png, current day. Thanks again for looking into thi

oh my bad here you go

Yes, It was definitley one of the worst ideas I have had, lesson has been learned since. Only other contact was day after when i asked him why his name russian, screenshot below. Other than that unfortunately not. I figured since he was reputable, tons of people know him, what could go wrong. Now i know.
