Do you know this guy?

Thanks for the reply, cool of you. Very good points, true dat. And definitely, people seem to never really learn their lesson concerning scammmers and having to check people out before you trade with them. Often it's also a case of an offer being too good to pass up, making people try to trade anyway rather than "just say no" when not sure of stuff. It just pisses me off, that scammers get away with it so consistently that it seems to have become a legit source of income for a lot of them, screwing people over :/. There's even been ties found to wonderful groups like the Russian mob, and huge, organised rings of scammers using Steam to launder cash (credit card fraud / refunding games that were traded off, get fresh, "clean" value from others) or generate some base capital for further illegal activity such as (for example) purchases of drugs.

But as you say, yeah, a thread or two will probably not put a huge dent in the ignorance among Steam users that scammers rely on, while there's always a risk of people fucking up in their accusations of others. I get you. On that note, impersonators really are the lowest form of pond scum among scammers, as they're not only screwing over their victim, but turning an otherwise unknowing person in to their pawn, thus also victimising them.

My anger at these miscreants will never get any less - goddamn parasites. Thanks for the reply once again. And hope your weathers' also looking good :)
