spreadsheets do not help anyone, only serve to destroy a free economy

That isn't entirely true. They also help people not to get sharked and to get a general idea of what their items are worth. You're doing it wrong when you're blindly following them though.

Is this your homework?

That trade is over 1 year old. Many changes have been made to the staff since then, most likely an old admin.

With all due respect, why do people fall for the most obvious of phishing links? Dont log in to non-steam websites which arent known or trusted by the community, and give-aways are too good to be true.

Because they look 100% like a legit site except for the domain which is really easy to miss if you're not paying close attention?

Maybe the hijacker quicksold it to him, only Valve can verify if he's involved in the hijacking or not.

How do you know it was him then?

Looking at his account he's most probably hijacked as well. Just report the post that contained the phishing link and contact Steam Support as soon as possible so they can help you.

Did you receive an error during the trade?

I don't think you got banned just because you said "jackass". Your general tone was very rude towards him. You could have said "no thank you" and hide his post or just simply ignore it.

then how would u call such person? just to know what would be the best description (i know thats not scamming, fraud? maybe)..

I would call him someone who didn't fully read your notes. And frankly I don't blame him, your notes are so long and full of colors and bold text that it's a pain to look at. Keep your notes simple and you will have less problems with people not reading them.

There's no reason for you to be disappointed. What he broke was one of your own rules, what you broke was one of the site's rules. If you didn't get punished you'd just continue to be this rude to everyone else.

First off, he's not a scammer. There's nothing wrong with duped unusuals. Second you were being rude and you insulted another used which is against the rules. Your ban only lasts 24 hours so it's not the end of the world. Learn from this and don't make the same mistake again.
