Description:

At about close to 8 AM on Wednesday, August 22 2012, I was approached by Faron8 about the Unusual Killer Exclusive with a Smoking Effect, colored After Eight. I had traded with him before, far as I could remember, so when he linked to me the profile of the moderator, I assumed it was his. I then traded him the hat first, due to my admittedly low reputation. He then said that he had sent the money. I waited for a bit, but when I asked him for it, he linked me his scammer profile, dropped me from his friends list, and blocked me from his page.

7:54 AM - Moffitartan: And you check out very nicely.
7:54 AM - Faron8: Well outpost is not for cash trades you know.. It disables negative rep
7:55 AM - Moffitartan: Ah
7:55 AM - Faron8: Or have you ever seen a negative rep at anyones outpost
7:56 AM - Moffitartan: To be honest, I'm not sure. I think I have in the past, but I can't specifically remember.
7:56 AM - Faron8: Yes in the past it was enable but very long ago. You are right
7:56 AM - Moffitartan: I'd like for it to be over paypal, with you selecting it as a gift. I'd like for you to put in the message box "This gift is non-refundable. I agree not to chargeback. I agree to pay any fees."
7:57 AM - Moffitartan: Once it's in my account I'll open up the trade and send it to you.
7:57 AM - Faron8: That's good. But since you have little rep (on outpost) and not any for cash would you mind going first? I mean how do I know you will trade me?
7:58 AM - Moffitartan: To be honest, you don't, but I do give my word. I don't f✿✿✿ around with money, and I detest liars and thieves with a passion.
7:58 AM - Faron8: Well I really can't go first the risk is too high with 0 rep
Faron8 has accepted your request to trade.
7:59 AM - Moffitartan: I understand completely.

Given that this guy has more than once scammed people (and given the fact that he cost me a hat I was selling to help myself financially), I wanted to know if there was anything that could be done about him.

Thank you for your report. Since he is already marked, a steamrep admin will make a note about this on his steamrep profile.

Thank you for the help. Is there any way for me to get back the Killer Exclusive unusual he stole from me?

Try contacting valve, and see what they will do.
