Scam Report

Report Type: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

Accused profile: 76561198158367922

Victim profile: 76561198051955571

What happened? Description:

It was pretty simple. I got added by him and got offered a high value unusual for a decent offer. We started the trade and he started hesitating. We exchanged a few words and made an agreement. When I used the trade, I put the items and he, the unusual. Those were under the same name (name tagged) to make them look the same, but when I pointed the mouse over the item, it was a very low tier (1 bud unusual).

The hat offered at start was a Harvest Moon Backwards Ballcap under the name "I love you". At the end, the hat was a Nuts n' Bolts Backwards Ballcap under the same name.

I only have the copy of the chat and not the trade, since when he noticed I knew his scam he cancelled the trade immediately.

I think the other steps are unnecessary, since I just noticed he has a very low time playing and his backpack is private. Right now I'm sleepy and I'll hibernate the machine. In the reeeeeally unnecessary case you need screenshots, I'll provide them. It's 3:57 and I need to sleep.
