That's probably impossible, you know, no one is gonna trust you if he doesn't know you IRL.

Sadly no. But I would advise only go first if the person has high reputation(the green number next to names in trades) which will help prove if hes legit or not and always read the negative reviews if any. Also shouldn't be a deal breaker if someone has negative rep since every so often if you piss off a moron in the forums they mark you negative rep like someone did to me and still waiting for it to be fixed but going to take sometime like 5 more months.

Also check how old user is. Older the more likely he will be legit and more games they gave away the more likely he or she won't scam you.

yes, contact a user with a lot of positive reputation (my suggestion is a user with 250 or more) and try to convince him to be a middleman, he will hold any steam tradable items and give the code to the interested user which will check if the code is legit
if the code is legit and everything works fine from BOTH sides the middleman will give you the tradable items promised
remember that middlemans are hard to find and most of high rep users refuse any middleman requests to avoid any kind of "colateral negative feedback" so i'm not sure if there are users doing that for free
you can try the steamrep recommended middlemans that are the list of users with most positive feedback in middleman services but i'm not sure if they will do it at the moment because there's probably a lot of people asking them for help

Good advice :)

I sent you a friend request on steam

And i forgot to mention that the LoL cards are from NA

Trades are limited to the trades section of the site, and should not be posted in giveaways or on the forum.

Yup, thanks :D

did you add him from this site or just as a guy on steam?

Yea, I definitely learned my lesson this time. I was being so stupid. Well, if you ever want to trade, message me, but it feels hard to trust people after this.
