No, I can't, that's the problem. I might be having the right country and proxy-ing, but my tries has failed until now.

Yes, I did, yet I'd really appreciate a way to solve this mess...

I know how it works, but as I wrote, the key is not russian, I checked.

Hate to break it to you, but the CDR only has entries for retail keys that are region free, and only actually only has differing game entries for Russia, nowhere else. I don't understand how this key is not available in your country...Could you at all show a screenshot of the error message you are getting?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes ^ this Tronraner. Trying to activate a game via VPN connection can result in account suspension! Never trade for keys in the future. It protects you from the BS that can happen in trading .(well some of it anyway) Good luck with this - perhaps you could ask support about this situation? Merry holidays to you and yours.

I would guess it is this http://cdr.thebronasium.com/sub/16808

UPDATE: as for now I've tried Russia, America, Poland, Ukraine, Turkey and New Zealand. No luck.

I tried New Zealand thinking would have been the same, also I don't have an australian VPN.

Only one request: if you manage to do it please write where this key was from. I'd really appreciate it.

Got scammed too! Oh well. Sucks for me. Same code, by-the-by. It Could be region locked, but who knows.
Otinademoniac, Who scammed you?
Did anyone try Japan?
Comment has been collapsed.
Was it [Name Disclosed for Future]
EDIT: Defintely Scammed, because I was told it was Far Cry 3. Which I knew was likely not true. But oh well.

What do we do now? It's definitely him. (Did you get scammed right now?)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep. Pretty Much. There goes $40! On the Plus Side, now I don't have to get my brother something for Christmas! Cus I know what he wants. On the Down Side, I lost $40.

You got scammed by a guy who's banned from trading. Like, really?

http://steamcommunity.com/id/LOLALLTHETIMEZ It appears now. When we "traded" he was allowed, he even started a trade for Batman AA (I wasn't interested)

Since I can't post on his page, due to him blocking me, someone else should post there.

The information is out there. If you overlooked the fact that he was Trade Banned and didn't bother to check SteamRep, then I doubt you would read the comments on his profile.
Comment has been collapsed.
He wasn't Banned when I looked on his profile about an hour ago. Then he was. Just like Otinademoniac said too.

Look at the screenshots, I'm going to have to believe the pictures dated December 12 showing he was trade banned.
Page cache from December 7, private profile and trade banned.
I don't mean to add insult to injury, but denying the fact that you made a mistake isn't going to help anything. Realizing what you did wrong and how to prevent it from happening next time is a much better solution.

Well, now that you point that out, perhaps I did miss it. Regardless, I won't be trading for keys for quite a while.

Trading or Not activating Won gift !
Other People really trying hard to win games in here , and you won killing floor and traded it ( in most cases ) while might other one can enjoy it or will give him the best Christmas ever .
Also you won zombie driver and never played it !!

Whatdya mean? He definetly just got scammed. I did too. Via same person, same key.
EDIT: Ah.

Yeah, realize that now. I'd facepalm if I could, but I can't. I'll remember to not Call peopel out now.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't see the reason to get angry about me like this: about Zombie Driver, which rule am I breaking? TBH I already played it on a friend's PC, I enjoyed it so much that I actually wanted to have it..And I won it, lucky me. Yet I haven't had any time to play it, since I've had other games.
About Killing Floor, yes. I admit I have gone against the rules with that. My brother wanted it and I passed him the gift. I have not reedemed it and it's not in my inventory. I pass it to MY BROTHER. I am someone who should be banned for this? Feel free to have your conclusion, at least I'm being honest. Also, I got scanned (as a noob, as I wrote) like 30 minutes ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes you are sorry, I understand your possition but you broke the rules.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can get suspended indefinitely. Which roughly equals a ban
Comment has been collapsed.
Look, I understand your reasons for giving it to your brother, there are times when I want to give my son a game I won on here, but knowing the rules I don't.
I have not reported you, but you also have to understand also, when people come on the forums blaming others for scamming, you have to look into both sides. I will not report because I believe an giving a gift to a family member (knowing it is against TOS). I really wish I could trade some games to my son.
Comment has been collapsed.
I see now and I'm sorry about this, I thought a gift site would have been more flexible with such rules, I haven't earned money from KF. Anyway, I don't want to look like someone who's running away, but since I've solved my problem (I've definitely been scammed and the key is fake) I don't see any point in keeping this topic alive. I'm going to close it in a couple of minute, the only reason I'm not doing it right now if to let the followers know what I've wrote.
Comment has been collapsed.
The problem is, there's no way we KNOW you gave it to your son. And if we say it's ok, then you'll have a bunch of people trading or selling away their wins and just saying "Oh I gave it to my son"
If it's activated on the account you won it with, we know everything is legit.

@bobofatt
He said he gave it to his brother.The other dude upper said he would give his son games but he can't because it's agains the rules.

UPDATE: Users have found out that the key is fake. Thank you everybody for helping me though, you've been very nice! ^^
Old post: HALP!!11!
So I write on a "certain site for steam tradings..." if someone wants a game of mine (Duke Nukem Forever Collection) for Torchlight 2.
A guy add me on Steam (note that I don't remember his nickname, sadly) and says he's interested. His Steam Profile page (I clicked on the avatar) had a lot of REP+, so I trust him. I gave him my key and he gives me his. "Enjoy" he says. Then he deleted immediately me from the friend list.
The key that I received seems to be somehow a true key but a foreign one: Steam doesn't say that the key is invalid but that it's from another country...I don't know which it is, he did not tell me.
To be clear, YES, I know it's partly my fault. I've done a lot of giveaway on this site and some good trades on that other, so I trusted the system too much. What I'm wondering now is what can I do.
Even though I closed the chat window and he deleted me from the friend list, can I find him?
Is it somehow possible to even know where is the key from? I've verified that it is neither American, Russian or Ukraine. He told me that he bought it for 10$.
Please help. I feel stupid (and I might deserve it) and powerless.
