Have you ever been asked for "donations"?
haha, I had a very similar thing a while back, he also was very polite, and stayed polite (that's something, I guess), but I still removed & blacklisted him ^^ he only asked for games though, and I acutally would have given him a freebie (some key I would've just dropped in the forums) if he could've given me a reason, but alas, he had absolutely no reason at all when I asked him, and even told me that this begging never worked for him, so I didn't want to set a precedent ...

maybe that would've done the trick, I was in a really good mood before, but he just said "no reason" without hesitation, so he didn't even put any effort into coming up with just something. I know, I should've bought him a wishlist game for getting up the nerve courage to ask a total stranger, I'm such a meanie XD

Someone once gave me an expired DOTA2 treasure just to rid it from their inventory. I didn't think much of it but like a week later I got someone who added me and begged hard for it. I kept asking them what the value of an expired treasure was and what they'd do with it but they explained nothing and just insisted. Looked it up and it was indeed worthless. Launched DOTA2 to see what would happen and it just deleted it from my inventory.
I still have no idea why they wanted that expired DOTA2 treasure so badly. It wasn't some oddball person that wanted to collect them because they actually played DOTA2, so it just would have evaporated from their inventory.

Oh God! Terrible flashbacks. I HATED that about that game.

I've gotten multiple beggars while I've been here. Usually, after I do a massive key dump (I've done a couple) someone asks if I have any spares, because obviously I got rid of a bunch of keys (which may have been used) and I'm holding on to a secret, reserve bunch of keys that may have been used that I'm willing to dump, in private, to one user. I also grabbed a bunch of GoT Genesis keys when they were free and dumped them; later someone added me to ask if I had more (even though I said that was all). Besides that, I get rather frequent CD key queries, which I guess doesn't matter much, but no one ever contacts me about them so I just have to assume it's someone trawling for CD keys from old posts hoping they somehow redeemed a key and asking for an email which will do them absolutely no good.

Only the once, and I saw it coming.
Had an ordinary chat with him once. Second chat he kept mentioning that it was his bitrhday and seemed to be hinting heavily that he might quite like something but didn't ask. Third chat he asked me to buy him games. He said he'd pay me back in the future so it wasn't straight begging but I'm sure I'd never have got anything back.
I took the diplomatic way out and told him that I've seen too many friendships ruined when one friend lends money to another and despite good intentions can't pay it back. Said that as I considered him a friend I couldn't do it. Never heard from him again, lol.

Had some random being for +rep yesterday. Unfortunately, plenty of other people did offer it. Not looking forward to when others post about getting scammed.
