Got scammed :(

sorry for ur loss i was scammed today as well but i had it coming hopefully u will get over it good luck with ur future trades

Open up a ticket on STEAMREPS on him. Use screenshots of your chat logs, everything on your way that helps you on reporting him.

I've been scammed before. Actually, my only negative rep is from the guy who scammed me. LONG story, but now he has been banned and here I am happy with the community with 18 positive feedbacks in one month. :)

Merry Christmas, my friend!

I whitelisted you. :)
I hope you can smile about that..

I skimmed through the posts, sorry if I repeat something, I didn't have the patience to read every post in detail.

You should report him, save the link of his profile page. (Remember that Steam names are easily changed, so go for the profile link, it usually contains the ID). If the link is customised, put his username in here to find his Steam_ID: http://steamidfinder.com/
This makes sure you can find his profile ever again.

Report him, as others stated. If possible make a screenshot of the chat, upload it and post the link into the report window. Together with evidence that he got your key and activated it and that you didn't get something. It won't give you back what you lost but it is the right thing to do to stop him in my opinion.

I don't want to say never trust anyone, but never trust anyone on Steam. If you didn't know: You can delete any comment on your profile and scammers will of course delete all warnings and negative feedbacks. On top of that scammers usually have rigged their +rep. Don't trust those fancy +rep ever anymore. I personally had no idea what those even mean for several years, because I don't care. Sorry that you fell for it, you have my feels.

Next. If you want to do trades again. Only either do secured trades, I mean the system given by Steam or look on places like this one, http://steamgifts.com , where you can be 99,99% sure that long lists of positive feedback in the trade section is real and legit.

I got scammed by a guy who had several pages of good rep comments on his steam profile. The only thing you can trust is the rep on this site I suppose.

You don't have to warn anybody, everyone learns from experience, but it's like chicken pox, you need to get scammed early on or you will get scammed later but a lot worse.

Unfortunately, there are people who never learns, and sometimes they become a scammer.

You either learn from your mistake, or get scammed enough to see your self become a scammer.

Bladito, I only have some crappy free games from IndieGala giveaways, but if you want one I will be glad to give it to you. Again, nothing special here, but...

CHIP, Litil Divil, Hyper Fighters, Bloop or Space Hack

Man, don't just let him go away with it. That's a serious offense. Scammers are thieves and they should be treated like thieves. Do you understand? If you have proof, make a ticket on steam support, report him on steamrep, and -rep him on steamgifts. Just do NOT let him go away with it. He should be judged now, not in his afterlife. Anyway, I hope you won't think that all traders are like these. There are a lot of traders out there, including me, that would never scam anyone. Don't let this sh@tty scammer make you sad. Keep strong!

Added you for friend, just want to know some details. Thanks^^

its good that i never trade anything valuable with others and the bundle leftover keys well, because of my steamlevel everyone just link the key to me before i could link mine, even if my sgifts rep just 25/0, but those bundle leftover games not worth much anyway.

sorry that you got scammed, but there were nice suggestions in this topic, add the scammer alert with link on steam profile, you can call out there, so we can all ignore that user if we check your profile:-)

Thank you all for new comments. Will reply to all of you tomorrow. Time to get some sleep now.

Phew.. didn't realize how replying can be so time consuming. Reading and replying to all your comments was really worth it. I feel a lot better now. Thank you all again for your heartwarming comments and advice.

it was a key ? you can check what steam acc activated it.

Some lessons are very painful mate :( I'm really sorry for You. From one hand it's very funny, beacuse the situation was so simple ( You will laugh later), but on the other hand I understand You....You trusted somebody and he/she used the situation. Don't worry - shit is everywhere. If You want I can cheer You up and give one key of some game...just add me ;)
