Sorry to hear that but what were you doing early in the morning and that also trading? Shouldn't you be sleeping then?
Anyways if you sent to paypal you can write to them that you were scammed or if its a steal wallet code then write to steam that the code has been stolen.

Sorry to hear that. Shit happens.
Do you happen to be apart of steamtrades staff perchance? Is the staff big? I'm asking because tickets related to steamtrades take too long to get a response it seems.

Oh well, you cant really blame yourself if it were morning. Especially before coffee. We all make mistakes before coffee. :)

Don't feel dumb. Just remember.
Wait... it's too early for me to give advice.
I try not to talk to people in the first hour after I wake up. That being said...
-wanders off-
But at least it was only 5

I only recently started using CSGO Lounge, and today was the first time I noticed a large number of scams. The trades seemed to have been done by the same person, as most said they were "quick 1:1 trades" , that they "didn't mind overpaying because it's a quick trade", and were asking for relatively the same items for a Minimal Wear AK-47 Redline. The catch was that the AK-47 in all of their inventories was Field-Tested, and worth $15 less. The other curious thing was that all the inventories contained five items: the Field-Tested AK, a case, and three Industrial Grade weapons.

It's okay we all get scammed at least once, well most of us! Now I'm more cautious. Plus I traded for it eventually a few months later... As in last week xD

Yeah lost profit for it but it was worth! I'm enjoying it from the little I've played so far!
Yeah hopefully you don't, just learn from other's mistakes xD

Pretty much that. Usually I always check carefully, but I really wasn't paying attention this time, because it was super obvious (a private profile flagged by SteamRep ? Let's send him some money !)

I created a self policy not too trade when i first wake up, LOl. I wasn't scammed, but I did do a very foolish trade once and I concluded it was because I was still half asleep.
Annd the foolish trade ya ask? My copy of Blur for Farcry 4 during a midweek madness blech @ 25% off )@=

haven't bothered to read what you can do as support,
but if banning users isn't on the list - no fun
that state of mind in the morning is tricky/elusory ...

There's no one to ban, the account isn't registered here

It's impressive how many people on this thread say they have been scammed by impersonators and lost meaningful amounts of money.
It's something as simple as only adding people by clicking on the SG profile button to be sure that whoever you're adding is coming from SG and actually has that rep!
What could be done to raise awareness of that? Maybe a warning when opening a discussion on SteamTrades or replying to a discussion there?
