Information:
Someone who impersonated Shadows, a Harpoon admin, sent me a message on steam asking me for the price of my unusual. The impersonator offered me $75 via steam codes or $65 via paypal / bitcoin. As an inexperienced trader, this got me thinking it was worth it. Long story short, he got the unusual in the end and I got nothing in return.

Evidence:

17:20 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: I'm looking for 30 pure but I can negotiate
17:21 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: I can offer 75 dollars in steam codes or 65 dollars via paypal/bitcoin
17:21 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Is it clean though ?
17:21 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: I unboxed it in Harpoon last week

17:21 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Ok cool
17:21 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Hmm
17:21 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: It's a good offer, but umm
17:21 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Do you mind having a middle man?
17:21 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Like nimajin or something
17:22 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: oh yeah I was about to talk about it. If you are ok with steam codes I can pay via half paid codes. Im not sure if you heard it before btw
17:23 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: I've never heard of those
17:23 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Its basically a way for both sides to get paid at the same time and steam plays the middleman role here
17:24 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: So it works like this. First we agree on the trade in steam chat so if something goes wrong we can contact steam support. After that I will tell you the first 5 digits of the code (full code is 15 digits). When the trade is done, a notification will appear on your screen giving you the details of the full code
17:24 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: You will redeem the code and confirm its worked
17:24 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Hmm
17:25 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Alright
17:25 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: I'll do it
17:25 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Via Steam codes
17:25 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Ok lets make the agreement first
17:25 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Alright
17:25 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: 75 dollars for Strange Unusual Smokey Sombrero
17:25 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Is that right ?
17:26 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Yes
17:26 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: That is right

17:29 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: No
17:29 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Wait a min
17:29 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Probably the trade got marked as unfair
17:29 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Is it supposed to pop up on the screen or in my mail?
17:30 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Pop up on the screen
17:30 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: As a small green line
17:30 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Yeah, nothing showed
17:30 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Then yeah it probably got marked as unfair because the unusual you just sent is also locked and it wont be unlocked until you redeem the code
17:31 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: So we gotta make it appear as a fair trade so you can redeem the code
17:31 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Do you have anything close to its value based on steam market prices ?
17:32 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: In my backpack right now?
17:32 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Yeah
17:32 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: I don't think so
17:32 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: It's my most expensive item
17:32 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Isnt there anything close to its value ?
17:32 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: No need to be exact same value
17:33 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Just gotta make it tagged as fair
17:33 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: I honestly don't think I do
17:33 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Wait lemme check
17:33 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: I can't give the Unusual Airdog because it's been reserved
17:34 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: I was about to tell you can use that but you are not gonna sell it to me. If you want it back after the trade I can just trade it back to you
17:34 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: But we gotta make this trade got tagged as fair
17:34 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Hmm can you add me on discord so I can see what you mean..?

17:37 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Here
17:38 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Hmm okay
17:39 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Is it possible to just send me the rest of the code?
17:40 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: I would if I could but in this situation its just in steams hold because the trade got tagged as unfair
17:40 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: And without you redeeming the code I wont be able to trade the unusual anywhere because its currently locked
17:42 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Hello ?
17:42 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: It's still not appearing
17:43 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: It wont appear unless with trade again for another item that has value close to that. It will get marked as fair and you will see the code
17:43 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: You will redeem the code. You will get the money and I will be able to trade the unusual I just paid money for too
17:43 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Idk... it seems sketchy
17:44 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Bro all I want is to send the item I just paid 75 dollars to my main account. In this situation we are both in a big loss
17:44 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: I paid 75 dollars for no reason and you traded your unusual for basically nothing
17:44 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Thats what Im trying to solve
17:45 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: So if I trade the airdog, will it be locked too or will I be able to get it back without any hassle?
17:46 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: It will get marked as fair. The code will appear on the page you typed the first 5 digits of the code. After you redeem the code the lock of the ether trail unusual will go away and I will trade your airdog back
17:47 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Okay
17:47 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Do i do it by trade offer or do we do it here?
17:47 - You have accepted the trade request from Shadows | No Taunt Offers.
17:49 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: Uh hold on my phone ran out of battery

(at this point, I joined all-trade 3 to confirm with Nimajin if Shadows is a trustable person)

17:49 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Ok
17:49 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: It appears your are online in phone but whatever. I will trust you

17:53 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: You are online on phone. Im not blind
17:53 - Dice ⇋HG⇌: And you apparently just got a free unusual
17:54 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: ?
17:54 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: If you are not willing to co operate I will just report you. I told you the way to solve this but cant do anything if you are not doing them
17:55 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: Have a nice day
17:55 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: and It was your own choice that made you trade your unusual for free. I told you how to get the code but you are not doing it. Its your own fault
17:56 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers: If you have nothing to say I will just remove you and report you because you made me pay 75 dollars for a unusual I cant even trade because of your own ignorance
17:57 - Shadows | No Taunt Offers is now Offline.
