Not trying to be rude, but why of all places would you seek assistance here? We're not a trading forum whatsoever.

There's gotta be some permanent link to here on one of these unusual hat circlejerk sites that calls tf.tv the "unusual hat police" or something.

Make a post on the steamrep forums. Would be better to go directly to a forum that is set up specifically for cash trading/trading in general than a competitive forum. Also, you would need screenshots, inventory history, chat logs and stuff to lodge a successful report.

searching "tf2 hat scammed" in google the 4th result is that first thread on here where that guy got his hat back. guessing that's why there are so many of these threads.

If possible, every "I've been scammed, help please" thread should be deleted. (Thus, reducing the number of people coming onto the tftv forums asking for scam help through google) We could possibly set up a stickied thread redirecting anyone who wants to report a scammer to the right forums?

Why do people post these threads here? How would we be able to help you (and even more importantly, why would we care)?
