What happened? Description:

The accused adds me on steam and offers me $110 in paypal for my Professional Collector's Holy Mackeral and TF2 Logo Tree. In response i explain how i would prefer buds and keys, which he counters with he can provide steam codes.

*Now i know it is difficult for steamrep to investigate steam codes because they cannot authenticate their validity, however the accused never gave me the codes. This report rather focuses on the fact the the accused never followed through with his end of the deal.*

This should have sent of warnings in my head, but he seemed kind, courteous and all around likable. And i had done a background check on outpost, backpack.tf and steamrep and he turned up clean. In addition he takes a "pledge" to give me the gift codes, promising me that he most likely be banned by steam if he does not hold up his end of the bargain.
Still a little cautious i i offer to trade the Holy Mackeral 1st for $30, 3 $10 codes. This all took place on friday and trading had been crashing often, so i sent him a trade offer for it. i checked the accused's backpack 10 mins after sending the trade offer and notice the accused has the Holy Mackeral and i ask for my payment. He fails to respond, and i am unable to return to my computer until sunday during which i confront him about the payment. He denies the fact that he as the Holy Mackeral, saying he never received it, despite the fact that i show him numerous screenshots of it in his backpack on multiple sites.

I admit i was stupid enough to fall for his trap.​
