    He posted that he sells keys, he had a few left and i wanted to take them all. I added him, paid him, then he blocked me both in dota2lounge http://dota2lounge.com/trade?t=4917613 and in steam.
    I'm providing 3 screenshots, 2 of our chat and 1 of my recent inventory history that i haven't received anything from him

    Alright a little update, a little over 1 hour later this guy adds me again and:
    "
    06:54 - IAmStaka: oh hi scammer
    06:55 - Shk: I'm ashamed of what I did
    06:56 - IAmStaka: you are a ✿✿✿✿✿✿
    06:56 - IAmStaka: :)
    06:56 - Shk: I've been there a few times
    06:56 - Shk: and I thought I could do the same
    06:56 - IAmStaka: i don't f✿✿✿✿✿✿ care
    06:56 - IAmStaka: you scammed me
    06:56 - IAmStaka: blocked me in dota2lounge and in steam
    06:56 - Shk: My brother has told me that it was wrong
    06:56 - IAmStaka: for $15 LOL
    06:56 - IAmStaka: LOLOL OLOLOLOL
    06:56 - IAmStaka: $15 scam
    06:56 - IAmStaka: ROFL
    06:56 - Shk: and I want to change things, make it right
    06:56 - IAmStaka: it's not even worth losing ur account for that
    06:57 - IAmStaka: :D
    06:57 - Shk: will still want the keys?
    06:57 - IAmStaka: of course
    06:57 - IAmStaka: that's why i paid you
    06:57 - IAmStaka: are those keys stolen too?
    06:57 - IAmStaka: and scammed
    06:57 - IAmStaka: lol
    06:58 - Shk: I have no habit of doing so
    06:58 - Shk: no
    06:58 - Shk: they are my
    06:58 - You have accepted the trade request from Shk.
    07:01 - Shk: I should pick up some keys
    07:01 - Shk: next week
    07:01 - Shk: if you still trust me ... we can do business
    07:01 - IAmStaka: and you're gonna what scam me again?
    07:02 - Shk: no ^^
    07:02 - IAmStaka: no i don't trust you :)
    07:02 - IAmStaka: and i never will
    07:02 - Shk: people make mistakes
    07:02 - Shk: =\
    07:04 - IAmStaka: i don't trust you and yes you gave me the keys back but you are a scammer and although i'll post that i have my keys you probably won't get marked as a scammer, but i'll fight that you get a warning sign so future people know that they're dealing with someone who can't be trusted
    07:04 - IAmStaka: bye and pls never add me again
    07:04 - Shk is now Offline.
    "
    So yes, he gave me back the keys... 1 hour and 10 min later....I believe a scammer tag is a bit too much right now since he came clean (barely), but at least add a warning or whatever to his rep, since it's fishy and so may not even try to do this again. He doesn't even know what steamrep and dota2traders is and is unfamiliar with the communities. The community users have to be aware of what they're dealing with.

    He perhaps saw this SR report and got scared, that alone might teach him the error of his ways. Personally I always prefer to see someone retrieve their items above anything else, a tag is cold comfort when your crap has been stolen and your trust violated. Glad you got your stuff back.

    SR will of course decide what they will do in due course.

    Hello @IAmStaka,

    Unfortunately, your screenshots are a little lacking per our evidence requirements. However, I was able to accept your report based on some mitigating circumstances. Due to the evidence quality and age of this report, I was only able to issue a caution tag. Note this is not the norm but an exception due to extenuating circumstances, so do not expect to have reports accepted without complete evidence in the future.

    In the future, please make sure you review our evidence quality standards prior to submitting a report here. In particular, you only provided a single cropped PayPal screenshot, and it was hosted on a 3rd-party site (Imgur). We require all screenshots to be uncropped, and uploaded to reports as attachments.

    Nonetheless, thank you for your report.
