    Description: Wanted to trade unusuals agreed, trade my unusual counterfiet billycock for his hat with no name he then asked for 5 crates, I agreed for the sweets and accepted It was to late when i realised he had switched the hat for a normal version and try as I might to cancel the deal it went through he then logged off and changed his name.

    The chat: http://imgur.com/ZC0Lx
    My hat in his inventory: http://imgur.com/dMgpU

    The hat he quick switched: http://imgur.com/cSTIy

    I also filed a ticket to steam and report the profile ( a lot of good that will do) and i think this is an alt account as it was made only a few days ago only owns TF2 and has tons of expensive items this whole experience has put me off playing TF2 as Steam is so terrible with preventing these scams from happening but I thought I would report this guy before I stopped playing as I do not want this to happen to other players.
