    Screenshots:
    - Pictures of chat Attached.
    - Trade window if relevant I didn't catch a screenshot of the chat window. It was as described, but the scammer stated the CS:GO Key was a Key which would register to the account, not as a gift, so would deliver through chat once the trade was done.
    - Screen shot of profile page if the offender is impersonating admins, middleman, or trusted traders. (showing steam community link, pic, nickname, friends and groups) - Attached.

    Description: A (short) description of where/how you encountered the person, and the deal, the attempted scam, and the outcome. The pics should tell the full story.
    Stupidly enough, steam begging thread on 4chan.org
    The proposed deal, as shown in the chat was CoD 4 + Portal 2 in exchange for CS:GO and DOTA2.

    I DID recieve Dota 2, but as stated above, he never delivered the key for CS:GO.

    I have also attached a picture of someone else in the same thread who appeared to get done by the same scam.

    Copy a transcript of the chat below that. For readability: Put the text between [ code ]text here [ /code ] tags, remove the spaces within the brackets and it will show up the same as this part of the text.
    Code:
     Never tell your password to anyone.
    Merchant: hi
    Thanatos: sup /b/ro
    Merchant: i have dota2 and csgo
    Merchant: offer?
    Thanatos: What are you after?
    Merchant: portal 2 + mw1
    Merchant: :P
    Merchant: i also sell for paypal
    Thanatos: can do portal 2 + CoD 4.
    Thanatos: for both yeah?
    Merchant: for both.
    Merchant: thänks
    Thanatos: cheers
    _ Later _ 
    Thanatos: do you have the key for CSGO with you now?
    Thanatos: ?
    Thanatos: Well,. that's a shame.

    Can you please post a screenshot of your inventory history showing the trade?
    You can find your inventory history by going to your inventory on your Steam profile, then clicking on the View Inventory History link on the far right. Thanks! :)
