This guy Just stole my keys, we were about to trade. I assume I was a bit dumb, but at the first moment I couldnt notice. He got all my keys, said they were invalid them went offline and blocked me, didnt sent the games.

The conversation: First part Second part

Steam profile

The intrigating is that the guy doesnt look like a scammer, im totally confused.

And what can we do about it? We're a gifting community, not a trading one.

that's how scams happen, could happen both ways..

item first > scam

key first > scam

ONLY DO TRADES INSIDE OF STEAM WINDOW, ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF IT CAN GET YOU SCAMEMD

Back when I traded I always sent keys first. Just don't trade with shady characters.

Please note that you were not burgled, as a burlary is the felony of breaking into and entering the house of another at night with intent to steal, extended by statute to cover the breaking into and entering of any of various buildings, by night or day (unless, of course, you have been following him and this is the case. If that is true, please call the local authorities).

Please note that "calling people out" is also prohibited, so your post may very well result in your account being suspended or banned. In addition, it's hard to say for sure if this was a scammer, or just a trade gone bad, leading him to believe you were a scammer. In any case, now that you've posted the keys in a public forum, if they were valid, they're gone now.

Sorry about your bad luck, but try to practice a bit more forethought in the future... Thought about how to trade safely, or how to read the rules before you post, or thought about if you're sure this was a scam period before you go out besmirching some person's community reputation.

Unless they tried the keys, steam was doing one of those "hey I'm not gonna accept any keys for a couple minutes for no good reason, ok brah?" things, and the other person was so worried about getting scammed themselves that they immediately assumed the worst and blocked this guy. As I said above, in any case, the keys are gone now.

That's what you get for trading Indie Bundle keys. You deserve it.

Steamgifts/steamtrades rules are not universal, and while I don't think this was actually a scam, nobody deserves to lose their stuff.

Maybe the keys REALLY didn't work, or he got locked out before, but I guess you didn't think about that before you got your posse to give him negative rep. Just wow.

A lot of previous user names is sometimes a bad sign.

^ this.

Also, it's against the rules to call people out here, even if they are scammers. There a thread for that over at steamtrades.
