I felt weird typing stuff without ending it with anything, but was too much of a grammar stickler to end incomplete sentences with a period I don't recall how I ended up settling on tildes, but yep, that's what I do nowadays (only with informal conversation online and texts of course)

What if someone tries to steal your code by trying every combination?

Wow, he didn't even try to impersonate a legit ST user and post their rep page?
Scammer, I am disappoint.

I doubt he was actively trying to scam you. Sure I would not have sent my key first in this scenario, but it rather looks like he simply doesn't know. He simply cannot get to steamtrades while trying. If you don't know steamtrades, how is he to know about it's rep system? I don't know about whether English was his first language, but if it wasn't, I wouldn't be too fast with calling him a scammer. The only part that really makes him a possible scammer now is the 'too good to be true'. The rest might (I am not saying it is, but might) exactly be attributed to his few games, as he doesn't know there are way cheaper ways to get Hitman Absolution.
I know this is the internet, and people always assume the other is a bad guy, but occasionally you will meet people who really are unaware of certain things on the internet, doestn't make them scammers immediately. :)
Just saying, as a lot of people are easy to judge, while in all fairness, your communication could also have been a bit clearer.

Random trade request from a person with 7 games... He's willing to buy a game for a complete stranger but he can't be bothered to buy any for himself? Honestly, I think anyone falling for this one deserves it... :)
Thank you for the story Dooleh, more fun reading these than the "oops i got scammed again!" threads. :)

It's a double edged sword for you to be so trusting, on one hand you still want to believe in the goodness of the human race, but on the other you WILL get scammed if you continue to do so.
And I think I was pretty clear towards this guy, even though I knew he was a scammer the second I saw his friend invite. So my whole conversation with him was for fun :P
Also a Hitman Absolution key on that same site costs 15 euros, grid 2 - 25 euros...

Well, in that case it's pretty obvious (haven't really been into Hitman Abd prices as I already own it for a pretty long time).
And there is a defference between calling someone a scammer and not totally trusting someone. I am not that easy with trusting people, but will also not call them scammer that eaasily.
The point being, somebody doesn't have to really be a scammer for me to avoid doing a trade with that person. :P
So no, I don't think I am that easy to scam, I was just, well, probably playing the devil's advocate. :)
Edit: And for the part of wanting to believe in the goodness of the human race, if it wasn't for that, there wouldn't be any fair traders around, just sharkers. So yes, I do believe in the goodness of the human race, but yes, I am also not that naive that I expect everyone to be that good. ;)

He was pretty smart about it. Showing a fake purchase order and such. At least you weren't scammed.
