    Hi,
    I'm going to report some evil scammer here. His name is calvin, he is russian but pretending to be a finnish (according from his friends). His profile in Steamtrade. He added me without any posting after viewing my thread at SteamTrade, and agreed to offer me his portal 2 tradable copy for my Gamersgate Red Faction®: Armageddon™ KEY. After he registered in Gamersgate as a new user and activated the Red Faction®: Armageddon™ via the gift sent option from me, he invited me to the trade windows, pretending dragging portal 2 over his side but never ready. By that time when i'm wondering why he didn't ready for the trade he suddenly type a message, asked me leave a rep for him but in fact, he removed + blocked me instantly in steam. And the trade windows went crashed.

    [PS] From the investigation policy i've read, Steamrep do not investigate key trade due to impossible to verify the key or activation code in question. But this case was an exception, i got all the sufficient proved to show how he was scammed my Gamersgate game key before and after. Scammer deserved no second chance, he could scammed me and pretty sure he will scam anybody. He must have a "scammer tag" to warn all the honest user who attempt to trade with him, thanks for reading this. Let's hope there will have a real justice for this evil scammer !!!
