    My friend (G0D) wanted a Genuine Weather Pestilence orb for DOTA 2 and he knew a player that had one, but he had blocked him.

    Red flag.

    He was friends with him, but I didn't notice until after the trade.

    Red flag.

    I didn't know G0D very well.

    Red flag.

    He wanted to trade me his Karambit Night Minimal Wear for the orb. I traded my AK-47 Vulcan Minimal Wear, AWP Redline Minimal Wear, and my M4A1-S Cyrex Factory new so I could get this orb to trade for the Karambit G0D has. So I completed the trade. The player whom I traded with is /ID/jokebeast. You will see that he has my Cyrex and Redline. And /ID/FubuandVersace (G0D) has my Vulcan. All 3 of my skins put together are worth approximately $80. I've never been scammed before and I just feel so crushed and I feel like I can't trust anybody now. I felt something was wrong, but I ignored it because I really wanted that Karambit. I reported /ID/jokebeast on the trade menu for scam and I reported him on his profile as well.

    So, after the trade, I told G0D that I had the orb. He said he didn't want it anymore. I don't know what else to do. I worked so hard to get the money to get those skins and now they're gone. Here are some screenshots I took.

    You should read the sticky threads regarding format, image host, other requirements.
