    Accused profile: 76561198104355969

    Victim profile: 76561197967506060

    What happened? Description:
    Had agreed to trade him Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for $50 Amazon gift card.

    He said I had to go first, redeemed the game, then stopped communicating. He is continuing to answer ads/try to buy/trade games from other people and still ignoring my requests for him to hold up his part of the deal.

    Below is how I found him:

    I am sorry for your loss but SR does not handle keys or codes for items since they are impossible to validate or prove. There is no way for us to verify an Amazon gift card as a form of payment.
    Due to a backlog of scam reports, and to focus on the ones where items or money were lost, we are freezing the below types of reports. Please report these scam types to our partner communities if they accept them.
    • Fakerep reports:
      • Please report to the community where the fakerep is posted.
        • SteamRep does not maintain reputation threads and does not see profile rep as legitimate. These reports are best addressed by the communities that maintain such threads.
    • CD Keys/Game Code scam reports:
      • Please report to the community where the trade originated and make a steam support ticket.https://support.steampowered.com/
        • Game keys/codes are impossible to verify as legitimate to begin with or what account the code is redeemed on. Before we only accepted if a user had solid proof, but now are rejecting all such reports.
    • Spycrabbing reports (server bets):
      • Please report to the community that operates the server where the bet took place.
        • SteamRep does not maintain any game or trade servers and many individual communities have different rules when it comes to Spycrabbing or RPS or Heavy Boxing or similar. These reports are best addressed by the communities that operate the servers.
    • Phishing/hijacking account reports:
      • If you are phished/hijacked you need to make a steam support ticket ASAP https://support.steampowered.com/
      • Report phishing attempts to Valve by using the in-profile report system shown below
        • A lot of victims are not traders or even know they are marked on SR. Valve has made improvements to steam that mitigate the potential loss of items caused by phishers/hijackers; the original reason for tagging such users to begin with.
