    http://imgur.com/a/0kT5J#0 - 7 screenshots of chats. A few snippets of conversation were omitted from the end of the chat with Vinnie because it was just small talk and nothing helpful to the case.

    Description:

    The Doctor posts on my trade offering my cash buyout: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10767573 then tells me he is 55 dollars short. About an hour later, he offers Vinnie The Horse's cash buyout: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11131484 and adds him. According to Vinnie, the item was sent but he did not receive the money in exchange for the hat; The Doctor claims to have sent the money to the wrong address.
    Code:
     So I went first on a trade of my cloudy moon dixie for 185 USD, and he told me to send a request for that amount of money. Instead of paying through the email that was supposed to be sent to him, he directly sent the money through his paypal account. The one problem now is that he misspelled my email and ended up sending it to an account that doesn't exist. He claims that the money is still missing from his account, but I never received the payment. I honestly have no idea what to do right now, any help with this would be great.
    Edit: Apparently he thinks that because he sent the money somewhere, he is still entitled to the item.

    After I see this, I have a short conversation with The Doctor, as shown above. His story simply doesn't match up. That, coupled with the fact that he had made several claims that had been proven false, has revealed that The Doctor never had the money, and never intended to sell it, in the first place.

    Sorry for the long description, it's a bit of a convoluted story. Anyway, chat logs:

    The D-Oh-Double-G: Sure, take your time.
    Vinnie The Horse: er
    Vinnie The Horse: I don't understand
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Yeah, it's not too fluid. What can I clarify?
    Vinnie The Horse: so he never had the money in the first place?
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Bonk.
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Steamrep awaits~
    Vinnie The Horse: nope
    Vinnie The Horse: they actually don't give two s✿✿✿s about trades outside of tf2
    Vinnie The Horse: *sigh*
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Money scams? Yeah, they do. Don't worry, I'll submit it.
    Vinnie The Horse: oh
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Can you just write a confirmation that he did not talk to you on Skype and show trade history screenshots showing that you sent him the item(s) and a Paypal screenshot showing that you never got any money?
    The D-Oh-Double-G: In this chat, that is.
    Vinnie The Horse: ok, but he never talked to me on skype
    Vinnie The Horse: kk, I'll make some screenshots
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Thanks. I'll draft up the report.
    Vinnie The Horse: https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=c7a2e1b64e&view=att&th=13edfa1448d4bafe&attid=0.1&disp=emb&realattid=ii_13edf9a0019e0a0a&zw&atsh=1
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Whoa
    Vinnie The Horse: :/
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Imgur those please, I can't see google links. :P
    Vinnie The Horse: sorry, I'm new at this
    The D-Oh-Double-G: No worries.
    Vinnie The Horse: whenever I try and upload the images, it says "image file may not be supported, or image is corrupt"
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Hrm. What program are you using to encode?
    Vinnie The Horse: I use the printscreen button then ctrl + v
    Vinnie The Horse: *cough*
    The D-Oh-Double-G: What program :P
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Gimp, paint, photoshop, etc.
    Vinnie The Horse: just directly onto the field imgur provides; it allows me to paste right into it
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Ohh. Don't do that, it's pretty broken.
    Vinnie The Horse: I'll just do it im paint, sry
    The D-Oh-Double-G: No, no, it's fine. I can't expect you to know how to do this :P
    Vinnie The Horse: Its the middle of the night in my time zone; sorry if I'm a little slow XD
    The D-Oh-Double-G: It's 3:30 AM here, I getcha.
    The D-Oh-Double-G: We're pretty much ready to go as soon as you get those screenshots
    Vinnie The Horse: http://imgur.com/GJAUMT2
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Alright, thanks. Now the Paypal one.
    Vinnie The Horse: comin' up
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Danke
    Vinnie The Horse: http://imgur.com/wll4hyb
    Vinnie The Horse: oh my god, thank you so much
    Vinnie The Horse: when you submit the claim, could you link me to it?
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Of course.
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Question, why is the second bill $190?
    Vinnie The Horse: because he "wanted to add anther 5 dollars for me going first"
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Also, if you could give me some screenshots of your chat with him, it would make things a lot faster for the people over at Steamrep.
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Oh, okay.
    Vinnie The Horse: I got nothing else, sorry
    The D-Oh-Double-G: Alright.
    Vinnie The Horse: But I do feel like a f✿✿✿✿✿✿ idiot
    Vinnie The Horse: since I just lost 200 USD
    The D-Oh-Double-G: I feel you, man.
    Vinnie The Horse: well
    Vinnie The Horse: at least if gives me another reason to quit playing tf2 :D
    
    If there's anything missing that I can provide, I'll do my best. Sorry for making the report so long, but I felt that the details were important.
