I sent him 10 CSGO keys two weeks ago. He told me that he havent the code yet, but in some few days he will send to me. Yesterday, I request him the "refund" of my keys, and he blobked me on Steam.

This is Calling out and is against the rules of the site, you should probably remove the links.
Report him to steam rep, not here!
Also Why would you agree to a trade where you don't get what you trade for right away? Never ever do that.

no calling out, also this is why you should never go first and don't give ppl. stuff when they don't have the stuff they promised to deliver.

TL;DR: #rekt

I'm somewhat sure this violates the site's strict no-calling-out rule…
And apparently my internet connection has also slowed down again. :P

You made a mistake trusting brazilians.I have yet to meet a brazilian who owns an actual paid game on steam.
I know a lot of people will get butthurt over this comment, but there is a reason why Brazilians have the worst reputation in online gaming.

We still can, we will always can, but it's only up to you if you give a fk about random dude talking shit about someone else. We can try to avoid or at least make it harder, but you can never fully prevent such things.

Well Salinger is talking shit about another member and it seems a lot of people care about it (that person will have been blacklisted and maybe something more by several people already)
Way to prevent it: Calling out rule

Yes, many people are giving, but not in way he'd probably like. I doubt anyone reported that guy. Especially when I saw his ratio is not bad 11+/2-. I never got it how one can be scammed, it seems incredibly stupid for me, but that's not the point. All I mean is - as you can see even with that rule topics that actually call someone out still can exist and if someone is brave/stupid enough will make these anyway with getting suspended. As everything, this rule has pros and cons. I am not an enemy of that rule or anything. If I wanted to say everything I think about this I would have to write down a new bible ;D I don't think you're wrong either, some find this helpful and others just useless.

The problem is that calling out is exploitable, so it has to be forbidden.

Because of thinking like that, there are tons of scammers with rep -10< that keep scaming people. Now you may say why did you trade them in first place, but I say, why are they still here ?!?!

If someone has rep -10, why the hell you are trading with him?

You didnt understand me ^^
Why is he allowed to have -10 rep. why is he still scaming people. Now Im not speaking for myself, but there are naive and barely informed people about scams in trade.
So victim will report him, fine. It may take weeks or months to get answer if he get one at all, in meantime the one will continue to scam.
If we cant be here united in this matter, figthing against thiefs, scammers and hackers, well fuck this community. Oh dont call out it is maybe impersonating someone, so what if he is? People should know and stay away from him. This way you just silence every fool who got scammed and make it public, so the scammer can continue his work.

Suspension Permissions Default length
Scamming Users Permanent

What happens is that it is difficult to prove the scam, and also there are a lot of tickets. But that issue has to be solved by sg support, not by users. Users have the feedback feature. If they trade without reading the faq it is their fault.

We need a feature to alert only the users in the whitelist for scammers. Like a button on the scammer's profile or something like that. That way we can warn only trusted people.

You can warn your friends if you want. But not in steamgifts forums.

I agree on the forums part, that's why I think that some kind of a red flag visible only for friends can be helpful.

Considering that here is rep feedback and SteamRep exists, such a feature won't frankly change anything.

I don't know. Getting a notification like " Your friend Freiwilliger flagged ... as an untrusted trader" can be useful, because that way I know it was you who gave that user the -1.

The biggest problem with letting anyone call out is that many times the scammers are impersonating another trustful person.
They don't bother to check if the trader they trade with is the legit one and other users end up getting blamed for something they didn't do.

I agree that the no calling out rule has many drawbacks, but many times you need to implement such rules in order to protect some innocent ones.

This is not the best rule, because i got scammed few month ago...
You get suspended, if you call a scammer?? This is stupid :/
Only the negative rates are not enough, because they have no one (new created profile) or do it after 10 positives...
This is badly thought out

dont like it? dont use steamgifts then.

the rule is there to prevent innocent people from being targetted

Yes, and I could create a new thread calling you a scammer claiming that I traded with you and you scammed me.

In addition to that I'd encourage people to -rep you and report you.

How would that be fair?

With all the greediness and dishonesty in the world, one wonders how things like this happen so often. I hate scammers of course, but this is also a case of lacking in the common sense department (not meant as an insult).

My first rule for trading is to go first only if the trader has really high reputation (50+).

Sorry friend you can't callout users on forums its against the rules and will end up as a ban on you. And never trust anybody when a deal sounds too good.

i once got scammed, i learnt an important lesson, if it's not in the Steam trade window, dont do it, no matter how much +rep he has, no matter how high is steam level is, dont go first, dont go second, just use the trade window and save everyone a lot of trouble

sheesh you were greedy to pay less for a new game and yet you wonder how this could happen to you?

For the future:
if you are trading "big moneyz", you should investigate a bit.

In this case, the user has only 10~ rep
Looking at his trade history, he traded a lot of Batman and Metal gear keys (all stuff from nvidia)
Investigating you'll find that "OP claims he works for nVidia"

Now, he could even deliver, but this still looks shady as f, maybe stolen keys, or he has a shop and when people buy stuff, he keeps their key, who knows :D
