    The scammer tried to sell my hat to others and two different people commented on my tf2outpost thread (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21662755) regarding the stolen stovepipe and keys. A third person who was offered the hat got the scammer to go first and returned the hat to me. So I let him keep the 3 keys and added a 4th as thanks. The scammer also added me to apologize after he no longer had possession of the items in order to avoid being marked. I'm attaching screenshots of the scammer admitting to the scam and apologizing plus admitting to scamming those two keys a year ago. I'm also adding screenshots of the third party returning the hat to me. This person should be marked even though he apologized because he admitted to two different scams.

    Hello, can you give a screenshot of ALL your paypal history?
    Make sure it shows at least one month of history.

    Attached are all payments that I've received in the last month. It shows that no payment has been received recently. I've also attached a chat log from someone that was offered my stovepipe after it got scammed and as soon as the potential buyer informed the scammer of this thread he got deleted.
