Hey, guys today i got my first scam on Steam, the dude was giving me $15US for my Payday and DeadSpace 2, so we make the deal that I will trade 1 game first and then the other one after the paypal transaction, as soon I trade my Dead Space to him, he block me, :( . Why people do this? I mean steam games are really cheap, you can easily buy them, and this guy has like 230 games on his account, why are you going to ruin your reputation for a game.

I just reported him to steam rep. Hopefully he cannot scam anymore. What you guys think?

EDIT: Thanks for your comments guys, I feel better now most of you guys are right :)
And the main reason of doing this was that i want to buy a new Iphone Headphones cause I lost the original ones like 2 days ago, and I find a cheaper ones on ebay, I was lack of money,cause use all my money in some medicines, and I dont get payed till 15 may :(. I know, it was against the ToE's and I learn my lesson now. Payments are first! LOL!! Nah JK.

Thanks a lot guys.

Use a site with a rep system and do not trade anyone with fewer than 10 trades or 50 games.

You have to be super careful in any Steam game trade. I've stopped quite a few scammers from getting over on me, and oh how they have tried. When in doubt, do all the background checking you can do and suggest a middle man. If somebody is impatient to trade and refuses a middle man, they are likely no good.

Otherwise, I suggest you move into Yatterman's basement and use an umbrella indoors for protection.
