They rarely care in cases like this, you are told not to trade with keys.

If it isn't over the official Steam trading window, they couldn't care. SteamRep will take your report on him, but Steam will only tell you 'You dun goofed.'

SteamRep.com doesn't ban users
Steam would give ban trades for bad trades over the window, but a key won't result in that.

Actually it does. Some guy got scammed out of 2 of his Humble Origin Bundle keys (yes, bundle keys) by an impersonator. The scammer used my name and avatar, and sent my steamtrades profile to the guy. He reported me instead of the scammer and guess what, Steam Support gave me a trade ban based on a screenshot of the chat window, no chat log check or anything.
Still couldn't get them to actually do some checks, they either paste some template answer or say that they can't assist me (it seems to me they just refuse to do any actual work). Even the scammed guy asked them to remove my ban after I explained to him what happened, support said they're investigating.
So far I only heard rumors that they suck but this is ridiculous.

Oh man. Seems they can't do anything right. Get the right scammer, 'We don't do anything about you losing keys, we tell users not to use them in trading".

I talked to someone who got a trade ban for no reason and the only way he could get it removed is to talk directly to a support member through one of his friends, and even the support guy couldn't tell him why he got the ban. It seems you can't get anything done right unless you know someone inside.

Live with it, learn from it, and dump key everywhere, so at least he might not profit.

Take screenshots of your conversation with this user. Make a support ticket. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2102640 Report them to steamrep.com. And in the future don't go first or trade keys at all to/from randoms.

Go to http://support.steampowered.com/ and make a new ticket. Tell them you traded a game key and were supposed to get a gift, but the guy scammed you. Provide a screenshot of your dialogue with this person and a link to their profile to prove that there was a transaction between you 2.
Then he gets trade banned. That's about it. It's all dependent on you having proof of your transaction with him though, which you may or may not have.

They do when you have sufficient evidence for the transaction. It's more important for them to reduce the amount of scammers than to scold you for doing something they said not to.

They might. You wouldn't get it back of course, but they would lose it.

what i am really wondering is ... what DID you trade black cocks for? (even if he didnt give it what was of greater value? )
Comment has been collapsed.
Send him to jail (directly to jail).
Ensure he neither passes "GO" nor collects $200.
Comment has been collapsed.
Track him down and unleash the rage within, maybe poop(Also known as the rage within) on his mail box?
Whatever you do, I hope you get payback or something...

For some reason i was expecting that from Black Ops 2 giveaways (and a few more others), and that's preciselly why i didn't participate on them.
Make sure you always watch the profile, the inventory, the number of messages or giveaways, the membership antiquity, number of friends in Steam, previous deleted giveaways and SteamREP of the gifters, then sumarize all and think if it's trusty gifter or not.
Good luck with the report, man.
Have a nice day :)

Just don't count on anything or anything soon, SteamRep has reports not yet checked back from June or even March since the guy who tricked me was reported first time in March (and since there are 4 reports about him, no action on their side).

Eats some pie of rationalism and then nourish your self with the nectars of justice.

Seriously though, what is the proper procedure to make sure he can't scam anyone else?
