Just got Scammed on Steam by this dude.... Be careful.

A lot of people with privat profile add me and are trying to make me to click their stupid link wich impersonate the steam link...take care with this private profiles....

he had reputation ? really ? with 1 positive ? come on dude u are really innocent person. Should not trust with such low proofs

Remove the link to his profile, calling out is not allowed on the forums.

Hi again :P

You never trade with someone who has low rep like that if you are doing a trade for a key. You just learned a lesson the hard way. Sorry man :(

He only had ONE rep in steamtrades, why would you go first with a guy with literally no rep at all? Never go first. He was also the one with the key, he should have gone first with it (the one with the key always goes first, that's my rule atleast)
If you make an offer saying you go first and then he changes the price to a higher one, dont trade with him, he is just trying to get as much as he can from you.
I'd never go first with a guy with less than ~200 rep. If the other trader doesnt want to go first neither, I dont trade with him and that's it.

Edit: look at the timestamps in his "rep" on his Steam profile. Apparently he has only done 5 trades so far and did them in just 10 minutes. Wow, he is fast. ("rep", because rep in Steam profile doesnt say anything about the user since you can delete comments)

Tene mas cuidado para la proxima, ahora nada podes hacer
y lamento la perdida, se que alla les sale muy caro el dolar

Come on, if you just bought BF4 from EA, you would have spent 10 keys!?
All people have to learn the hard way that you don't do shady deals with shady people. I once bought a game manual for the full game's price on EBay xD taught me to look at everything twice, especially on the internets. The internet doesn't love you, ever, it just loves your wallet...

Holy crap, that conversation oozes scammer so hard it's not even funny. Sorry you got scammed, but.....yeah....

How the hell can you fall for this? The moment this idiot starts spamming "K", i would have removed him from steam. Clearly an immature 15 year old behind the computer.

contact steam support

"tf2 keys" and "scam" in same sentence.

Like, that NEVER happens.

the first 4 lines makes me want to block that human.

OR you could try to report to SteamRep, although they don't accept cd keys scams due to "they're impossible to check".
If you tell them you didn't got one in the first place, so you didn't have a chance to use it and that there was a strict trade agreement which has been broken, may be they will get to it.

You rlly have to work a whole week for 10 bucks?

I like the part where you say you'll let him keep scamming people if he gives you the keys back...

In complete honesty, you were asking for it, and your begging made it even easier to see how simple it was to scam you. Begging just made it worse. As much as I hate scammers, especially this one, you put this on yourself, man :P

The minute he pulled the "I asked a friend" about the price you should've backed out. That's scumbag shit, scammer or not. I get you really wanted the game and you do have my sympathy, but you had no defenses up whatsoever b/c you wanted the game so badly. You let him play you for a fool and walked right into his trap which was poorly set to begin with.

• Steam profile rep means NOTHING. It can be faked, and even if its not faked any negative feedback can just be deleted. I don't even read it when I make trades, but I will leave it if someone leaves it for me. I dont even ask for it. I ask for ST rep and nothing more.
• Trading for games outside of Steam (Origin/Uplay) or even Steam keys always carries a risk. If you want to be as safe as possible, trade with someone with hundreds of positive feedback. You can still be scammed by anyone, but its a lot less likely with someone +100 than +10. The higher the feedback, the better your chance of a successful transaction. But even there, high feedback can still go bad. Search "scammer" on Steamtrades to read reports of this.
• Leave negative feedback for him on Steamtrades. Report him as well. You have to report him via SG though, so look up his profile here. At the very least do not let him rip anyone else off. You may not get your stuff back, but you may save someone else from going through what you are right now.

I don't do CD key trades unless it's from humble bundle or I know the origin. I mean, how would you know this isn't region lock?

Happens, once a guy stole from me 30 tf2 keys....
And valve didn't do anything about that, he's still out there scamming people.
You should report him on steamrep and on steam as well.

Ya te lo dijeron todos, era obvio y te dejaste llevar como un boludo (perdón que lo diga así). Todos te aconsejaron bien, no hay mucho para agregar (si te remarco lo de que mires la reputaciòn en ST, no significa nada la rep en el perfil de Steam y desconfía siempre de los tratos que parecen ser demasiado buenos).
Soy argentino como vos y se lo que duele comprar en dólares, no solo porque se fue a la mierda con la inflación sino que los recargos de la tarjeta te la re ponen después. No gastes nunca más de lo que podes y tene cuidado cuando tradeas, yo nunca tradeo con keys si tengo que poner más de 3 o 4, porque se lo que me va a doler si pasa algo.
Bue, un garrón vieja. Mejor suerte para la próxima. No te hagas mala sangre que es al pedo a todos nos pasa alguna vez. Saludos!

PD: es una pavada, pero trata de evitar hacer trades tan tarde, no parece pero el cerebro se pone lento a esta hora y cosas obvias pueden pasarsenos por alto, c:

Never trade for stuff outside of steam. Never. Just don't do it.

I'm sorry about you. Once I got scammed by some random add and once by a huge rep trader who turned out as a scammer :(

Sad story :<
Really, that guy true moron, who cheat you :|

The 'I talked to a friend' part where he increases the price is a scumbag thing to do, and I would have ended the trade right there. There are a lot of legit traders who would trade for 6 keys, you just got unlucky.
