First time i got scammed

Closed

Ok, i receive a trade request fron a steam usser. He will give me 4tf2 keys for 2skyrim.

So he has more rep tham me (his rep is in his steam profile). He openned a trade windows in put the tf2 keys to trade. So i go first with one skyrin key. He told me that is duplicated, thing that was imposible i bought it and never give or sharing it with nobody.

So i ask him to share screen by teamviewer if he wants to continue with trading. I give a new key and see how he activate and the key works. Afther that, he close teamviewer and trade window. He keep in my friend list, but he put his steam profile in private and dont answer me.

So i got scammed. I lost 2 skyrim keys

The question is, How can i report him so he can't scam any more or at least difficulty that?

PD:Sorry for my english

Agreed, because the person can delete any negative rep from their Steam profile.

What do I do if I was scammed?
If you are scammed, please use the Report feature built into Steam:
Go to the profile of the offending user
Click the 'More' drop-down located at the top right of the page
Choose "Report Violation"
Select the violation (example, "Attempted Trade Scam") and hit "Submit Report"

TF2 keys are worthy for Skyrim keys :|

  • report on steamrep (not very useful) enclose proof

  • put bad feedback on steamrep

  • contact digigo support and say the keys were stolen from you and ask them to get them canceled so the asshole doesn't get away with it. They won't replace them but at least you can -hopefully - fuck him back.

You're gonna have to file a report. Make sure to read carefully how to make one (format, etc) so that it doesn't get rejected.

I'm seriously asking myself how people can still get scammed. If you don't know how to trade, don't trade at all. Especially trading Steam keys for stuff. I would either never do this because it's easy to get fooled or use a TRUSTWORTHY middleman.

or activate the keys into your inventory first, then there's no chance of getting scammed at all...
