I can't be certain of this, but couldn't you just ask Humble to revoke that key?

That would probably work out better for you than asking for the person's email. Since it may be considered a breach of privacy (not sure about their policies and whatnot), they may refuse to give you the person's email regardless of whether they are a scammer or not.

This is the best place where to ask for help https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us

humble resetting a key is not a revoke, they simply replaced the key with a new one. i'm sure they are allotted a certain amount of backup keys in case some of them were simply guessed or accidentally used already. they got lucky and got a humble rep who doesn't care about the rules and replaced it anyways for them.

i see, i must've misunderstanding the word then.
btw, idk if its will worked or not, maybe the OP in the link above got lucky, maybe the others not. thats why i told op to hope for the best thing to happen. at least he give it a try. i just cant see ppl getting scammed (cause i know the feeling)
if it doesnt worked, then he simply must let it go~ :|.

it's certainly worth a shot yeah. even if its against their (humble) policy and everything, some reps just don't care and want to help.. they are cool like that also. i was involved in a region locked steamkey situation where the gifter was trying to give it to me but it was locked to their region. humble was nice enough to try and trick the system by resetting the gift copy version while it was linked to my account instead of resetting it on the purchasers account only like they are supposed to do.. (it didn't work, but they tried for us) so it is still very possible to get a rep that will bend the rules for ya. ^^
their policy is for personal use only and they arent supposed to support you in gifting situations, but some reps don't play by the book or care, and some do care and won't assist. xD

contrary to popular belief humble can not revoke the key. at best if a large massive amount of them were compromised or relative they can put in a request with the developer or publisher associated with the game, but by no means are they revoking individual keys for anyone.
additionally i believe their policy will not allow them to reveal that information to you. AFAIK there isn't anything that can be done about it.

refunding is different then simply requesting a revoke also though.
that kinda falls under the relative i described above.. it wasn't an instant revoke, because they piled up 20-30 different refunded keys up, and had them all revoked at the same time by requesting the dev or pub to do so.

lol, you're right.. for some reason i was thinking of it as "d3m4n doesn't know what he believes" idk how i spun that about though.. i guess that's what happens when you speak when you should be in bed. ^^
i still really do think that would be in their policy though. cause if they ever revealed my email to someone there would be a lawsuit on their hands.. i'm not surprised you got a rep that doesn't care about the rules at all and still did so, but the majority of the reps will most likely not reveal that info.

It's cool. I didn't mean the "he is wrong" in a bad way.
Could be. But since we are expected to be the ones who handed the codes out, they might see it as giving us info we already have.
It's worth a shot anyhow. The one who messed with mine was clearly reselling those codes.

oh i never thought it was meant in a bad way, just joking around (hence the :P)
yeah i really don't know either way, but just would doubt it due to privacy rights and stuff. but since its for "personal use only" they can only assume you are requesting which one of your own emails did you redeem it with. it could be either way.. but yea, certainly worth trying. totally agree there. i'd just expect the worst and hope for the best when doing so though.

I am still trying to figure out what the e-mail matters anyhow?I mean what will you do with it when you get it?Spam them?Chances if they have any smarts they would have a dummy e-mail for such a use.
Sucked that it happens but it is a risk you take trading other than taking extra steps to try and avoid it never trade anything you're not willing to risk.As people said before best you can do is contact support and see what they might offer or do to help.

Hi guys, I have a tiny question - is there a way by which I know who claimed my humble gift link? I got cheated out of a Killing floor copy on steamtrades and would love to know the email of the claimer.
