Possibly just got scammed!?

Closed
JollyCompanion

I was on SteamTrades offering trades for Serious Sam First Encounter HD.

Then I got added by some guy called Flipper127 added me and said he wanted to trade.

This is the conversation as it goes.

I am not sure what just happened, after I sent him the key he just went offline. Then it's as if he swtiched profiles or something. Most likely a scam, not that it bothers me a lot but I already own all the Serious Sam Games so I don't really need that one, I was only planning to trade. What do you guys think?

This site should be called SteamScams.

P.S: No calling out, also reformat your thread, it's hard to read like that.

Couldn't agree more. The worst fact is there is nothing I can really do about it instead of sobbing over a lost key. It's quiet sad really.

Couldn't agree more? My reply was jab at you and all the people filling half of the forum with stories about them being scammed.

Well it's sort of important to share isn't it, and I am not really crying about being scammed something most people would do. I just wanted to see other people's perspective on this.

There's nothing important to share as you aren't allowed to call put, and I didn't say you people cry about it, they just post about it way too much, and there's no "perspective" on this, you were obviously scammed, no opinions, fact.

Remove the name and put the conversation to pastebin, much easier to read.

Before the pastebin link, it was a wall of text.
Use line breaks, if you post a convo.

Also remove his name or you might get yourself a suspesion.

I removed him of my Steam and also reported violation. Doubt it will do much, and I can actually get suspected for that?

I had few occasions that I trade with someone who had a trade ban and they were legit, tho I obviously didn't do something as stupid as going first.

You still need to remove his name before you get the hammer. Calling out is against the rules. File a report with steam and check steam rep.

Edit: Looks like you got scammed by an imposter and he's now trade banned. Also, I recommend having a time stamp on chat.

Also, he logged off and went to activate the game on his real account, take it to steam support.

You just got scammed by a trade banned scammer who is already marked on steamRep who changed his name and profile pic to look like a SteamTrade trader. Also, he is suspended from SteamTrades

I see that now, well serves me right for not checking the details. I did sense something was off about the trade.

I'll keep that in mind for the next time. Well doesn't hurt that much as I already owned the game I lost. Beside some people say I could get banned for this is that true?
