What happened:



Guy offered to buy skins from me, asking me to forward the acceptance email to him to make sure I could send the skins. I'm trying to get real money out, so was fine with using PayPal. The guy accepted his email with 6 of my skins:



I forwarded the email to him, which he apparently accepted posing as me, and took off without paying.

(yes I know this was all very dumb, i'm new to this whole trading thing. it won't happen again, I assure you.)

Edit to attach another picture of the trade activity, because I can't seem to edit messages after five minutes: http://files.f-o-g.eu/a97a51

 

OKAY FINAL EDIT:

Thomas apparently had a bit of a conscience, and he felt bad about the scam, so he added me back and returned what was taken (minus the cheap stuff that was already given away, but I'm just happy to have anything back). I'd still like this report to stay here, because he admitted to scamming in the past and is obviously trying to do so now as well, but ...well, my issue's more or less resolved. Mods, apologies if this is all a huge waste of your time.
