    What happened? Description:
    The accused was advertising on a TF2 Unusual Trade Server buying unusuals via paypal. I added him to trade and he had adequate rep, after some discussion, we decided to trade my Scorching Ballcap + Vivid Plasma Bonk Boy for 225 keys or 415 USD.

    I traded him my two items and he said that he would send me the money promptly, however, after a while he hadn't sent me the money. I asked him about this and he said that his bank was acting up and that he was on the phone. I knew this was suspicious as he was in game.

    After an hour or two, he still was brushing me off. I finally asked if I could have my items back until he sorted his bank issues. He said okay, but stopped replying after I sent a trade. He said he was driving to work and was using "siri" to message me and couldn't trade. This was an obvious lie because there was no mobile symbol next to his name. However I went along with all this and waited patiently.

    I began to play some TF2 and after I was done I found that he had removed and blocked me. He changed his profile picture, his name ("Flan" from "Jeff") and his URL to "MyNamaGay".
    edit: he changed his name back to Flan and made everything public again.

    Provide Evidence:
    Unfortunately, because he has unadded me and blocked me, I cannot get the chat.
    If steamrep/backpack.tf/outpost could get him to add me and show the chat history, it would prove him innocent or guilty. I have trade history showing that he had taken my items with nothing in return.

    I have some of the chat that I had copied to a friend during my discussion with Flan:

    yellow johnny: can you give back the items until you get it sorted?
    yellow johnny: and then ill do the trade again after
    Flan: just give me a lil bit more and then well do that
    yellow johnny: sure thing
    Flan: kk

    thats some of the chat.

    I'm really annoyed that I closed the chat window before I could do anything, however, if he would add me back I could get proof of the scam.
