    * I will try to get a screen shot of my brothers inventory history. First read the description to find out why it would be helpful to have my brother's inventory history.

    Description: This scam is somewhat complicated so I will do my best to explain it. My brother, who is fairly oblivious to the value of items, without my knowledge (because I wasn't home at the time) went on to my steam account and traded two earbuds and bills hat and some metal to his steam account (a leaf) and then from there he traded those items to the scammer, "TheAdeebster". I would say that I can assume that the scammer knowingly and deliberately manipulated my brother into giving him those valuable items for a few stranges worth less than a key. So I had a talk to this guy who was supposedly my brothers steam friend for a long time and tried to sort out the situation and get my items back. He gave me the excuse that he was trade banned and therefore would be unable to return my items for 1 week and 6 days and he changed this amount of time in the chat a couple of times. I had the feeling that he was lying to me from the start because he seemed to be a shady fellow from the start. A few days earlier, he had asked me to borrow my earbuds for a while and I obviously declined. My brother had referred the scammer to me a few days earlier because he was looking for stranges. During the chat, the scammer admitted to me that he had been lying about some things he said but wouldn't admit to me that he was not trade banned. He refused to show me any proof of this trade ban he used as an excuse.

    As we spoke about over Steam, this is more of a shark report than a scam. :( Your brother sounds like he went overboard, but you're submitting about the guy he traded to. :(

    As we discussed, I'll mark this as invalid per your retraction.
