So yeah, tittle says it all. I just got Scammed on Steam. I was searching for someone that was willing to trade TF2 keys for Battlefield 4. I found a guy http://www.steamtrades.com/forum/IC...itanfall-need-for-speed-rivals-origin-w-games that had it. Plus, he had reputation on the profile on Steamtrades and his Steam profile. So, I contacted him and chated with him. So, yeah, that's the conversation. As you can see, the mother****er just took my keys and it's gone now. I feel so ****ing bad right now. I need to work a whole ****ing week 8 hours a day to make the money he just stole me...
Sorry to read that ... being scammed sucks. Please don't pay any regard to +++le rep on ANYONE's steam profile particularly if the repping people all have private or friends only accounts. Good traders also usually have high steam levels to foil impersonators. Verify with steamrep.com as well (report him there too btw). A +1 rep is as good as zero on steamtrades, if it were well over 100 then that's different.
Yes, I know, this is the very first time this happened to me, but, today, I don't know why, i was in a rush I feel like crying man, I'm serious .
Report his profile to steam using the report link on everyone's profile for scamming or go through steam support. You might even get your keys back! BTW games are having stronger region locks these days, I had bought south park from a high rep (260+) guy on ST and was worried when I found out they had started to lock gifts to regions like BR and RU. It's not really worth buying from traders especially considering the frequent sales. I believe you can buy from Nuuvem too and prices are lower than international prices.
I say you track him down, then when you find him take his Keyboard and beat him to death with it! Hopefully hes using a Ibm model m they have alot of Metal inside those! Death by keyboard for steam theft will be in tommorows headlines i can see it already lol. Kick his ass,Seabass! Sorry for your loss man i was just trying to cheer u up.
I will try to use the Steam support. Thanks a lot for the info. I did already reported his profile in the Community. Thanks a lot. Lol. Thank you.
I hate to burst your bubble but if you wait on Steam to resolve it dont hold your breath! I opend a ticket and it sat for months and months without being answerd.Just be careful man only trade with people you know.I hope you can get it resolved. Good luck.
Well, I just loss all hope on getting the keys back. I just hope he gets what he deserves.... Yeah, I know, they are slow, but, I can wait... Thanks.
BF4 is only $20 on origin anyway... Oh lord, just seen the guy only had 1 positive feedback, you walked into this one. It was obvious you would be scammed as soon as the price was 6/7, then 6, then upto 8.
Sorry to hear such things. That's why steamrep.com exists. Even if he's not a scammer, he shouldn't have "tried the keys", since they're registered then. Like every time you use a key yourself...
Best post of the day. It's really nice of you to offer a key to MerolaC. Just goes to show you there are still decent people about. I respect you so much for your kind offer towards MerolaC. Respect bro.
No problem. I allways try to help if i can. If he wants the key, he can get one for free, as i already have bf4 on my origin acc.
CS:GO is rife with Scammers at the moment due to the rarity and value of the Knives. r/GlobalOffensive has posts daily about it. One YouTuber (Hatton Games) started "autographing" people's Weapon Skins by allowing them to send him the Weapon, a name tag, and then get them sent back. He posted on Facebook saying how people were messaging him trying to get off him Knives & Skins that were not theirs to begin with! Obviously he is not stupid, but its bad the lengths people will go to. I instantly remove anyone on Steam who adds me just with the intention of trading unless its pre agreed. Randomers get nothing. Take a look at the value of the M4A4| Howl for example: http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/M4A4%20%7C%20Howl%20%28Factory%20New%29 and the StatTrak ones are even more valuable!
