Some people get scammed by getting the gift they traded revoked how does that work?

Cause some are for payments but I mean if iI send a Gift to someone that i didnt want to i send a ticket to steam and they revoke the gift?
Is that the only way they can?

And srry for grammar :c not 1st language

People will pay with stolen credit cards or the like, funds get recalled, game gets invalidated.

Not if it's detected that it's not bought legit, then you won't longer have it in your inventory ofc.

It takes time to check the payments. I've lost a game after a year. So it might seem OK for a time, but then one day there's no game.

Anything can be revoked. Either a gift or a key (even humble bundle and such). It usually involves stolen paypal accounts that, when found, get their payments revoked and their purchases too.

Basically you can't own something that was stolen or obtained through illegal means.
So if someone's credit card information was used to buy something that gift can be revoked. Otherwise people would be able to steal stuff and "gift" it to people with the original owner not being able to get it back.
Edit:
I think there are some countries who ignore stuff like that. So, if your car is stolen and someone bought it really cheap you have no way of getting it back. They don't care.
