you need to close this no calling out is allowed you can be banned for doing this. It sucks that what happened to you but you can't do this here.

Against Rules to call out people.

Im sorry for your situation, but what you are doing violates the rules of this site

how did you get scammed...?

NO

As said, no calling out is allowed on this site so you might want to remove what you put.

In the future be cautious when trading. That guy has a level 2 profile, only 4 friends, only 12 games (most of which were free or incredible cheap during sales) and he has no recent activity at all. He has never played any of the games he owns.. so just looking at his profile would indicate it's a scammers account.

I had already blocked this person before. Someone else told he got scammed too by the same person.

You traded with a person who has 12 games that were given for free, and zero reputation.
Well all I got to say is that you kinda deserved it (this can be a lesson for you)

Plus no calling out rule as the guys above said

YEAH, NO. WE AREN'T JUST GOING TO RANDOMLY REPORT USERS BECAUSE YOU TOLD US TO.
ALSO, CALLING OUT IS AGAINST THE RULES HERE, SO YOU SHOULD CLOSE THIS THREAD.

(PS: Why are we yelling?)

OH COOL STORY

People on Steam discussions already told ya that naming and shaming is against the rules: Both here and on Steam.
Take it down.

This is probably unpopular opinion and I would probably get blacklisted, I don't care, I must say it.

You have to be very desperate or a complete moron to get scammed.

desperate makes you stupid, stay away from it.

Why would you trust people that has nothing to loose? NEVER trust people that has nothing to loose. Only trade with high rep, they have rep to loose.

Not only is calling out against the rules (as other people have said), but asking for us to abuse the report feature is pretty blatantly against the rules of most places.

If we reported this person for scamming us when they haven't, we would be abusing the system. Ask yourself, if a complete stranger told you to report a completely random person, would you take their word and report them? Don't you realise that they might just be trying to abuse the system to retaliate against someone they simply didn't like? Come on, man.

That's your problem bro.Calling out is against SG rules.You'll end up getting suspended from SG and probably blacklisted by same users for not reading the FAQ.Plus i wouldn't randomly report someone based on a topic without evidence.If you've some proofs then post them in steamreps and they'll mark him/her as a scammer.
Edit: The moment i hit "submit comment" the space cat gif showed up....what a coincidence XD

I am tempted to post the profiles of cg and the Steamgifts support staff since we all know this ENTIRE SITE IS A SCAM!

Also, you gave $40 to someone with 12 games to his account? You need.to take a little responsibility here ...
