Screenshots:
- Unfortunately, the only screenshot I have is of the profile the scammer was impersonating:


Description:

1) I make a post on SteamTrade (http://www.steamtrades.com/forum/Fl...h-to-war-dlc-darksiders-red-faction-guerrilla).
2) Scammer, going by the name of "catchthebear" gets in touch directly (not through SteamTrade) and proposes to trade me Civ 5 and then, upon my rejection, Bioshock 2 for Red Faction: Guerrilla.
3) Seeing that his profile was void of any comments and +rep, I asked for his SteamTrade account. He provided the profile of "catchthebear", who has a clean reputation.
4) I provide the key for my side of the bargain.
5) Scammer blocks and deletes me.
6) I attempt to get back in touch and mistakenly add the real catchthebear. I have a conversation with catchthebear and finally figure out that he was not the person in the conversation before.
7) Unfortunately, I only have a transcript of the conversation between the real catchthebear and I.

Code:

Never tell your password to anyone.

Well that ass...

he's on a rampage xD

Yeah...makes me really angry that people do this. Always going to keep my guard up now

Let's get this guy banned before he does anymore damage!

Seeing as the scammer in question has another report that is being processed, i'll mark this one as ready for review.

Thank you for reporting, a SR admin will look into this when he / she can.
