Hey guys,

I just got scammed out of Portal 2 by a certain someone. He aint here as he has jack shit for games.

In honor of the bastard that can't even afford to buy games, I'm going to spite every poor fucking soul here.

Rome: Total War - 6 Copies, 35USD Contribution

I have more incoming, but thanks to deleting my previous giveaway (because I realized most people would have Rome already) I'm penalized to 6 giveaways at the moment, so keep watch - my rage is still kicking.


Edit starts here

Thanks for the sympathy guys - and, since I looooove you all so much, here's more Rome - this time it's set at 100USD contributor value, but public.

I'll have a few private links in a bit, once I figure out what else I can throw.

I don't want to look like I'm not with you but that man created his account on the 5th of november. It was obvious he wanted to scam you. Anyway I'm sorry to hear there are bastards like those on steam.

How precisely did he do this? Step by step, please.
You wanted borderlands 2 for x2 romes and 1 portal2. I recon you had keys, not gifts?

Nay, he added me and offered a Borderlands 2 key for Portal 2 and 2x Rome, giftable copies.

Yeah, I know, I was a bit of a tart myself.

I went first with Portal 2, and then he left - yep. He didn't get my Rome though. Not that it matters!

We were making a deal, a Borderlands 2 key from some site that I managed to verify, for Portal 2 and 2 Rome Total Wars.

I know, too good to be true, so it's partially my fault as well - takes two to scam after all.

But yeah, my view on people has now dropped just a tad bit more.

Hmmm I had a similar situation, some guy said he'd trade me Skyrim for my Hitman Blood Money key. I was very suspicious of him though and kept asking his questions. Eventually he told me that he had to go and then he deleted me off his friends list o_o''

No problem :). I hope that scammer gets what he deserves! Lately I have been added a lot by scammers. Accounts created in the same day, and most were friends of each other (so, a lot of alt accounts). I got scammed at the first try.
(I also believe I was scammed by this guy, with a different profile. It fits is m.o)

So, everyone who uses steamtrades, be aware of people adding you for trades, check the join date, games, everything. Well, it should be a rule of thumb already, but there is some dedicated scammer going around now, so be extra careful.

Had a scammer offering Borderlands 2 and Dishonored today but thanks to having fallen for a scam myself previously I saw this one coming, but by the sound of it, we all got the same guy, (was named Blazzer for me or something similar).

Sorry you got scammed, its a bad feeling and no decent person wants to see it to happen to anyone, period.

Yes, now that I remember he also tried to add me today, but I refused as soon as I saw his join date. I also got added by some that I think its his alt accounts at the same time, which is highly suspicious. They also have commented each other.

Nonsense.
I offer you Black Ops 2 Deluxe steamgift for your Borderlands 2 key. I got 0 rep and newly created account, while you got like 100 legitimate reps on SteamTrades. Do you agree?

Users with less legitimate rep ALWAYS go first. Only if we have similar number, then keys go first.

I think all the shady accounts that tried to add me lately were mostly his accounts.

I'm suspicious about this guy (he has some rep given on the scammers profile) and Im almost sure this one is also one of them. Tried to add me three times. He is also friends with this guy who also tried to scam me. (one more alt account confirmed then, at least)

Yea, all these alts. Or maybe they're different people I don't know, but they're all linked through fake rep on their Steam profiles. 4 of them already added me in the last 2 days and he/they tried to scam me twice. Torchlight 2 for 2 games from Indie Gala? Dishonored and Borderlands 2 for L4D2 and Post Mortem? Seems legit! :D

Half hour ago Blazzer added me without notice and wanted my games for torchlight 2, dishonored and borderlands if i can recall, i say no because i'm an honest person and i know that was not a fair deal, that's why i comment in his profile "not getting a trade" but give some rep for being polite, 5 minutes later perez(oso) add me saying he want to trade the same games but this time for trine 2
