Game revoked (proof I traded fairly for it)

The difference in names could be the original trader traded it to the guy who traded it to you. If you made the trade in the trade window, support should give you back what you traded.

it's possible that the person who originally bought the game cheated Steam somehow and you ended up with it making steam remove the game from you once the scam was discovered. It's easy to make fake credits to get games, I had a friend that got Starcraft 2 with all expansions and Diablo 3 with a fake credit that he made in a few hours and it was only discovered a week later.

Regardless of what you two have said, it is plain stupid to take away from the guy being legal in the situation. Sure, punish the guy who did the scam, but with a middleman and proof I fairly traded for it, I expect a game back.

Too bad Ill have to wait like 2 weeks for steam support -_-

You can change your Steam name whenever you want.

Whoever traded you Payday 2 probably got it with a stolen CC or used a chargeback to get the money refunded. If either is the case, the game is effectively stolen, so they took it away. The most likely best resolution you could hope for is getting your trade items reversed.

report on steamrep to limit this guys scamming ppl in the future

They return your gifts if you traded in the window for another steamgift/item. If you traded gifts for a cd key, they won't return the gifts. So contact support and get your games back.

Gl getting through all the hoops in steam support. It's very rare to get those games in question back in your inventory :(

Since it was a formal trade through the trade system, you can get it reversed if you complain to Steam support (eventually.)

Chances are the name issue is just that they changed their display name; remember, you can do that on Steam.

I have 1 question, what did you trade to get all of those games? The Witcher 2, Dark Souls, L.A. Noire, etc.

I had this happen to me with Cod:Ghosts, I got my keys back in 2 days and the original buyer got suspended.

Funny, I had the same problem with the exact same game. Got the Payday 2 CCE preorder from a guy, game got removed on release day. I was pretty pissed off. I gave him keys for it, I asked support to reverse the trade, they took their usual time, but in the end they gave me my keys back. So if you traded steam games, just give support a nudge, they can see the history and everything so no need to screenshot or anything. Just tell them what happened, and they will give you back your stuff. If you traded game keys or anything outside steam, you are out of luck.

Oh and the name changes in your inventory history if the person changed their steam profile name. Don't worry, it's still the same person.

E: I see you traded steam games, so no worries, just tell support about it.

Steam support can be dicks at times,like one time,my copy of Spinter Cell Conviction and Poker Night at the Inventory,both GIFTS were revoked after the person who gifted me the game was Steam banned,for buying TOO MANY games. What kind of shit is that?

I had something like this happen to me. I traded for a game which went poof a couple months later from my inventory (never activated so I don't even get an error message). I contacted the guy I traded from and he said he had problems with his bank. Steam support was pretty much useless and said once your "friend" settled his issues with his bank blah blah blah. No amount of talk got into their thick head that the guy ain't my irl friend but an iffing steam friend.

Closed the old ticket, sent in a new one (new cso), be short and to the point. I traded for XXX with my XXX - show screenshot of inventory history. My gift got revoked. I was scammed. Now return me my original game. Two days later, original game returned.

Well, now you know why people say you don't own anything on steam, you just rent it (even boxed games - all Valve need to do is have bad day and ban your account).

Good news for you: you might get your games back, if you'll ask support. As it wasn't your fault you lost PayDay 2 and you traded inside Steam, they should revoke faulty trade and give you your items back. That's why people don't like to trade keys - you don't know for 100% what you get, you don't know if it was used, you can't get it back if scammed.

At least you got a notification.

Same thing happened to me - I traded a lot of games for Sega Complete Pack, but after a few weeks it got removed from my account, but there was no notification whatsoever.
At least I got the games back that I lost after I contacted support.

If I were you, I would ask Steam support to give you what you traded back, even if this is not their policy, because:

• you did not do anything wrong
• you are not responsible for Steam allowing someone to trade a "stolen" (or at least invalid) game
• after all, this is a matter of what trust everybody can have in the Steam system
  I usually don't do direct Steam trading, but if I read (like now) that the system is so unsecure and untrustworthy, I will just never use it.
  If you talk to a normal and responsible human, they should take this into account for the sake of their public image. In a normal world, at least. My 2 cents.

"What if I redeemed a game from a trade that is fraudulently purchased?

If this happens, the account where the fraud took place will be suspended. Your account will not be suspended, however the game you redeemed/unpacked to your account will be removed. We will restore the items/gifts that were associated with the trade that you performed to receive the game. If you did not trade any items/gifts for the game directly then we are not able to restore anything to your account (i.e. if the game was a gift). Please contact Steam Support if a game that you traded for is missing from your inventory or account."

Much as I'm sorry for you (been scammed once), I suggest you close this thread. Even if you have blocked the names, moderators do not take kindly to scam reports on SteamGifts forums. In the meantime while you wait for a reply from steam support (and they DO return you your gifts/items), you can make a thread on SteamRep with all the proof, chat log, and whatever you can get. It will mark him as a scammer and help other people too. Have a nice day!

Why do you hide your account's name ilassassinli?
