Description:
He contacted me and asked about my unusual. he asked about my current offers, etc. I gave him my B/O and he said he wanted the hat. He offered $98 usd, my counter offer was $100 usd. He accepted it and said he would pay, He asked me to go first and at first i was hesitant, but i saw some of the comments on his profile and i thought he checked out (i was wrong). So i went first, sent him the unusual and he said he would send payment. He then confirmed my email address and said he was sending it. Then he blocked and removed me.

After looking into it some more we found some more info.

Notable Profiles:
(Player 1) I think this is his primary account, judging by the fact it is banned on outpost and the amount of stuff in his inventory
http://steamcommunity.com/id/293854032/

(TR) Presumably his new alt account, where he auctions all of his items
http://steamcommunity.com/id/390543254u325p3543/
->His latest auction: http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/74546
It contains five unusuals on an account with no rep and only 13.6 hours on tf2.

(A list of people who +rep his Trading 101 Acct):
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198066194486/allcomments

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/2560926 here he posted a trade on outpost, and it has Skullslasher15's marauder, if you click on the marauder it shows that it went from skullslasher to trading 101 to TR

Chaos and I marked him & his alts. Thanks so much for the report!
