Not even "e-mailing" them. Scammed items are not returned.

Take it under your chin as a lesson for the future, learn the common scam methods and not gift items for free.

Its possible he gets a trade ban, especially if you are not the only one he scammed. Problem is, Steam cant verify if what you say is true, they just see the report. If you traded outside the trading system , they dont have any records of it , so its your word against his.
So if you are the first person he scammend, most likely nothing will happen to him.
