    Description:
    I had a trade up on Dota 2 Lounge (http://dota2lounge.com/trade?t=7460870) and this person offered an Announcer: Bastion and a Mega-Kills: Bastion (has much less value than the announcer) for my Genuine Smeevil. I added him and started trade. I didn't notice that he had "accidentally" traded me 2 Mega-Kills but he told me that in chat and offered to switch the Mega-Kills for the Announcer I should have had. However he claimed that he was unable to trade the Announcer directly for the Mega-Kills as "trade would not let him trade the same items". He then told me to trade back the Mega-Kills first, after which he'd trade the Announcer to me. I returned one Mega-Kills to him and he promptly blocked me. Now I'm stuck with 1 Mega-Kills which is worth a fraction of the Smeevil's value.

    Screenshots:
    Unfortunately I didn't manage to screenshot the chat logs as I didn't realise it was a scam initially and he blocked me immediately, but I have screenshots of his offer on Dota 2 Lounge (trading site) and my inventory history showing the discrepancies in the trades.

    His offer
    Note the 2 different items, one with "Mega kill!!!" and one without.

    Trade history
    The trade below is the first one in which he "accidentally" traded me 2 Mega-Kills,
    the one above is the second when I returned one Mega-Kills to him.

    Unfortunately, since there is no log of the chat, our hands are tied. We will archive this report just in case this happens again in the future.
