You don't know for sure it's scam, but it definitely looks suspicious.

Don't trust if someone offers a key for items. You'll never see the key but loose your Items :(
If someone has been scamed, report it to the steam support...

Then you can say no, unless he verifies his reputation and you double-check to make sure that he is no impersonator.

It was in the Humble Bundle. It wasn't a scam, more than likely someone just being kind and wanting to throw a game out to someone. But take it as you will. You just lost out on a cheapass game.

You don't lose anything for asking..
Well.. There's no reason for him/her to trust you to give the cards/items once you activate the key..
So, if it's not a known person. and both are playing safe.. it just doesn't happen.. doesn't mean it IS a scam.

Yes, please, let's encourage people to swear and scream at someone who was more likely than not just trying to be friendly. That'll solve so many issues. Don't post your own "scammer" chatlogs, please. No-one will think you're clever in them and as a site, we're getting bored of the "hey, hey, guys, I got nearly scammed, look at me, pay attention, SCAM" mentality.

You're just being a bit annoying with your insistence that this was a scam attempt when it is (way) more than likely not.
