    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulant behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [Steam] Steam Games

    Accused profile: 76561198082436431

    Victim profile: 76561198011665734

    What happened? Description:
    I had an extra gift copy of 'Frozen Synapse' that I thought I would try and trade for a copy of 'Tree of Life'. So I posted on some of the Steam trade forums. The accused added me as friend and told me he had a key for 'Tree of Life' that he could trade me for my game. As it was a key, he would post it in the Steam chat as soon as I had sent my trade offer through Steam. But as soon as he accepted my trade, he deleted me as friend and blocked all communication.

    You can argue that I was a bit naive perhaps, to think that he would give me the game key in the chat. But as I am totally new in Steam trading, and after looking through his profile with all the +rep and good comments, I thought this person was legit. I am not thinking I will get my game back and I am fine with that, but I do want to prevent this person from predating on people that are new to trading on Steam.​
