What happened? Description:

Met this kid online in a game of TF2. Noticed he had an unusual Zoomin Broomin taunt. Checked his inventory a few days later only to discover the person listed in this report sharked him out of his 160 key item for a terrible 11 key unusual grid iron with orbiting fire and a regular shred alert taunt. I don't have a dog in this fight but someone needs to look into this. I feel bad for the kid. If there is anything else I can do please let me know!​
