He wanted to buy my unusual and we had worked out a deal. He refused to do the trade without a middleman, so he added me to a group chat with "[BBG] Big Bang Theory". Big Bang Theory was the one that actually ended up scamming me. He said he was an official steam rep admin and took my items to middle man. His profile looked very legitimate and when I went to steam rep to check if he was an actual admin it brought me to his page. I'm not sure how it did because now when I try it does not, but I am fairly certain it did at the time. He also has a very high level profile and many extremely high level friends. Regardless, Appleteck and Big Bang Theory together scammed my Purple Energy Magistrate's Mulllet, Strange Professional Killstreak Australium Knife, and Strange Specialized Killstreak Flower Power Medi Gun.

Hiya, you're going to need to upload those images directly via the "Upload a File" button at the bottom of the posting box. Thanks!
Yep. Sorry about that. Hopefully these will work better. These are in order of when they happened, just so you know.
Here is my trade history as well. You cannot upload more than 10 files at once so I'm doing these separately.
Hello @FiveAyEm , I see you are using a SteamRep checker extension and you can clearly see they're banned via multiple partner communities too so why did you trust them after all that? You can use this guide to check every user thru SteamRep easily: https://steamrep.com/tips/pretrade Last but not least please don't trust any links sent to you by anyone, check everyone and everything yourself so you can avoid trading with already banned scammers and middlemen/community admin impersonators.
