Got scammed out of my Unusual Dread Knot Aces High by this twat: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Magnatuars

The guy has loads of legit rep and blocked me.

I've read a story on this forum about a scammer getting DDoS'ed by the community and the original owner getting the hat back (http://teamfortress.tv/thread/6264/got-scammed-tf2-items/?page=1). They found the kid's Facebook and threatened to sue him).

I don't really care how you do it, but I want to end this man's career. He's already attempted to scam multiple people. Any suggestions? Steam Support is of no help since my account wasn't hijacked. Let's hatch the ultimate revenge. If you want to scam him yourself, please don't take more than the hat, that's still scamming. I think the guy already traded off to another account too.

Owl is correct, in order for the TF.TV police team to help your unusual must be at least 3 buds, sorry.

Well here's some evidence. It was a fake middleman scam. Here's his name history:

He changed his username, profile picture and description to look like mine and took it from my friend's account.

Always check steamrep first. This guy was banned over a month ago. I agree with defy, the steam market is much safer to deal with in any case.

yeah I think your not getting the hat back seeing how the dude was banned on steamrep for a while, it was pretty much your fault for not being careful enough.

The guy disguised as my account (profile pic, name, etc...).

I found the account with the hat!
