    There is a LONG trail that leads this account to the main account that I just got scammed by yesterday, so stick with me. I'm going to put forth as much evidence as I can. I'm copying this with some modifications from an open steam ticket that I wrote:

    Yesterday I was scammed by a user by the name of :3 Meels. Details with proof are located in the thread I created at: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/76561198047602837-3-meels.11459/

    This obviously was not the scammer's main account as I had overlooked the fact that they did not have games and had very little play time.

    I was so mad after being scammed that I decided to piece together what happened, and I believe that I've come to a conclusion who the main scammer is.

    I've done my best to sort the events that led to finding this guy into sections.

    FIRST

    Of note, this user, who is friends with ":3 Meels"/"sMiley :D" has the same name and profile picture as ":3 Meels"/"sMiley :D" has had in the past. They also have played Dota 2 an almost identical time this week, which makes me believe that they traded my keys to this account.

    steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197991248284?t=1348691768
    SECOND
    After doing some digging, the one person who is on EVERY person's friend list related to ":3 Meels"/"sMiley :D" is this user:

    steamID: DeucesSon
    steamID32: STEAM_0:1:41035684
    steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198042337097
    customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/DeucesSon
    steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198042337097

    Who coincidentally has a ton of Dota 2 keys, AND has posted a likely fraudulent rep on ":3 Meels"/"sMiley :D"'s profile as:

    DeucesSon Sep 22, 2012 @ 12:35am
    +rep, speedy payment and paid before i sent item, great trader

    The "paid before i sent item" part is probably there to entice people like myself into trading, as it makes them seem trustworthy.

    THIRD and potentially not related to my case, but still probably guilty by association

    steamID: DALTRONNOSAUR
    steamID32: STEAM_0:0:39123745
    steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198038513218
    customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/DALTRONNOSAUR
    steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198038513218

    and

    steamID: iEatAtWendys
    steamID32: STEAM_0:1:45846458
    steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198051958645
    customURL:
    steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198051958645

    Both posted the same kind of +rep message and all are on each others friend lists.
    AT THIS POINT while writing the steam ticket DeucesSon trades the keys away.

    steamID: DeucesSon
    steamID32: STEAM_0:1:41035684
    steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198042337097
    customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/DeucesSon
    steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198042337097

    This user's trade history, as PAGES of keys just disappeared from their inventory soon after posting my last message.
    FOURTH

    I'm trying to figure out who DeucesSon traded the keys to and noticed that of who was online when the trade went down:

    steamID: DDoS
    steamID32: STEAM_0:1:24279080
    steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198008823889
    customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/ijko
    steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198008823889

    Has a ton of keys now, PLUS has some of the current/past nicknames as both:

    steamID: Phi
    steamID32: STEAM_0:0:15491278
    steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197991248284
    customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/daeas
    steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197991248284?t=1348691768

    and THE ORIGINAL SCAMMER

    steamID: sMiley :D
    steamID32: STEAM_0:1:43668554
    steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198047602837
    customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/123123412412114321321312432
    steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198047602837

    Specifically the names ijko, phi ,Fhi, and Φ.
    Here is a link to a gallery of pictures of their inventory at the time of writing with many keys: http://imgur.com/a/osrUj
    This person is apparently community manager at VGN and named Michael.

    This user is friends with some of the alt accounts/accomplices, and currently has the keys in his account. There is plenty more linking by association these accounts in the steamrep history for the account names and pictures.
    I know that I probably won't get my keys back, but I'd love some justice.
  2. I heard about these people, they scam for a s✿✿✿-ton and keep moving it along accounts. Bro i hope these ALL get TradeBanned.

    I've decided to take pictures of his profile in case he decides to mark it as private in the future.

    I just got a response back from valve on my ticket. The original scammer account has now been trade banned, but I would still like to see the guy's main account get a SR Scammer tag. Is there anything else that I can do?
