    Description
    Added me to friends on steam in response to a steamtrades.com thread, offering BL2 GOTY for System Shock 2 and Duke Nukem 3D. Was suspicious and found that someone had the same account name and emblem as him that was a trusted trader (justaghost) and he said it was him and he used this second account to trade since he got too many trades while in-game on his main account. He wanted the more valuable game first. Suspected it still might be a scam but since I got the game for free figured it was worth a shot. Hope this helps prevent further scams from this guy.

    Hi @Primus - Thank you for your report and sorry for the long wait. I'm also sorry to say but SteamRep does not investigate code-scams, however, this is a case of "Impersonation" so I'll mark the report as ready so that an admin will look over it.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, we don't accept report involving Steam gifts or CD keys / codes. As such I will have to invalidate this report.

    Thanks for the report nevertheless.
