I just want Steam to ban this bastard. Please help me and help me to report him!

you won't get him banned. according to steam rules you should trade only steam items for steam items. you didn't so you just gifted him a free game. It's your fault for not following the rules.
You can report him as impersonator to steamtep, but that's pretty much all, and it's no official steam site ;)
Remember - check your traders, be aware with impersonator, never go first with gifts, and even better only trade steam gifts for steam gifts, or gifts for keys.

Firstly, no calling out.
Secondly, it is unfortunate but I'm fairly sure Steam won't ban him. Trading is at your own risk if I'm not mistaken.
I can't say I'm the biggest trader but I know you should use steamRep and some other things to make sure the person you're trading with is not a scammer. I know steamtrades also has a positive/negative system in place.

Looks like noone can't help. Everyone just make fun from that. So sad.

You have been offered plenty of advice for future transactions. But, there is little hope in getting your gift back or having said offender banned.

Well, maybe next time you will read that warning (about it being a gift, and that the other can promise things outside of the trade and blabla) better, and act more towards it.
Also, this is the classical impersonating. As you can see (I see you did leave him a negrep on the proper steamtrades page) he must have had either 5 or 6 negrep already, with just 8 posrep at the time of trade. If someone gives you a steamtrades profile, always follow the link back to the actual steam profile (it is there for a reason). If that person is not a friend, you are dealing with an impersonator.
And honestly, you probably learned yourself the most now, which is, there are scammers out there.

He has 3 pending reports on steamrep... how could you seriously consider trading with the guy?
Learn HOW to trade first, before you actually do it to prevent yourself from these situations.
I hope it's a learning experience for you, good luck getting the guy banned because it won't happen. Trading is at your own risk.

That isn't true, eventhough it's not Valve's responsibility, he can still be reported and issued a trade ban, i've had my fair share of experience trying to help a friend that got scammed almost the same way, and we didnt had to use Steamrep too

So you advice someone who was not hacked, to prove to Valve that they were hacked, to gain this game back.
Apart from that being bad advise in general, it would be even worse if that would affect you in case you would actually get hacked (Valve being less helpfull in a 2nd time being hacked, in their eyes).

He is an impersonator. There is already a thread about him on Steamtrades.
Comment has been collapsed.
got scammed my first time on steamtrades to by an impersonator ... sounds the most common scam for newbies on trades ...
say bye to your game an money .. carry on .. next trades always check and double check ... always open his steam profile from steamtrades profile and double check if his really the guy you are talking ...
now forget about it and carry on nothing to do more you lost your game and money forever forget about it..

By the way, I just noticed you said Report him all! on his ST profile.
That would be awkward wouldn't it? First of all, we have no 'proof', only screenshots. Apart from the fact that screenshots can get edited, nowhere on those screenshots, is there a way to trace back who the guy actually is.
As much as people here would like to help you get an insight on how this could have happened (and how to avoid it next time), getting more people to report him, would be unfair (it would be exactly the same as him having other people report you).
Because the feedback system is there with numbers, to show your own experiences. If I would go around, and give everyone an extra negrep, who accumulated some negreps in the past, you kill the whole system.
But again, good luck with it. Go outrside, smoke a cigarette (if you smoke), feel stupd maybe for a minyte. And then just accept it.

You can contact valve but I'm not too sure whether or not you would get your game back, the least they would do is revoke the game from him.
