I've been lucky that in the 40 trades I've done, I've thus far yet to encounter a scammer. There have been some suspicious situations, but I've never actually been ripped off. But I feel for you, man. I don't understand what compels people to such levels of douchebaggery.

My advice: don't trade keys until you have enough rep to make people go first. I only started trading keys after 30 or 40 rep. Also, (maybe this is just me but) never trust keys of AAA or newly released titles. Even if they work, you can never know their origin. They can be revoked for some reason.

Yeah, that's what I like about having a high rep. I don't need to go first on key trades ever.

So, today I just got scammed for the first time. Screenshot
Just opened my trade post last Friday and already get scammed. Man, I gotta be more careful.
Funny thing is, I already had a bad feeling about this. Low level profile, kinda high offer, and telling me a story about he's getting scammed (too bad I forgot to screenshot from the start). Knowing that, I still went with the trade, mainly because I feel even though I may be scammed, that will be a nice experience for me.
Part of it is also because of the excitement I get from my first big trade XP Stupid me.
The loss is not big by US standard, but it is in my country. It could pay my meal for a week with it. (I only eat twice a day :D)
Not that I complained much, but I just feel I need to tell my story to make me feels better. (it already is)
Well, what's done is done. Already reported him to Steam Rep.
Just need to be careful in the future. Maybe I should use middle man for keys in the future...
PS: You may notice I said I will record a video of the chat on the screenshot. Well, I did record it. It's not public since I haven't remove/cencored several private information from the video. For now it will be for Steam Rep Admin Only.
