    Description:
    I have no memory of why this user was on my friendslist. It may have been from a past trade or random add. Prior to this event, I received several messages on multiple occasions in which he asked to trade tf2 related items that I had for money or games. I turned him down each time because I was either not interested or busy. However he messaged me on 12/19/12 and asked if I was willing to trade keys for steam giftcards. I found this offer attractive but at the same time I was suspicious as he could very well buy his own keys with the money. He offered an outrageous amount of money for 24 keys. I refused this because there was no way anyone in the right mind would make a sincere offer like that. I checked steamrep and he had no history as a scammer. His account appeared to be his main account and I reasoned that a scammer wouldn't try to use his main account to scam someone. Without thinking I traded 10 keys and he was supposed to give me the codes for two twenty dollar steam gift cards. When the trade had been completed however. After looking through the chat I realized I had been a fool as he had claimed to scratch off the steam giftcards for the codes. Every steam giftcard I have purchased has the key on the receipt. Unless BestBuy or another retailer sells steam giftcards with the code printed on the back, he was lying. Thankfully only $25.00 in keys was lost to this person. I would appreciate this user being marked as a scammer so that no one can be a victim to after me.

    Can you provide us with a screenshot of your trade history showing that you'd given him the keys?

    I just caught him.

    He offered 300 dollars for my unusual and all my hats. He offered to speak on skype and offered to have another "buyer" of his to confirm his trustworthiness. I said ok to see what he would do, he just kept asking to see the items for no reason, perhaps hoping I'd make a mistake or he hoped at that point he would just give me the bs offer and hope I'd trade him right away. In any case I eventually asked him to give me the money in keys, after all, who has money and can't buy keys right? He of course flipped, called me the scammer and the rest. He has a few unusuals in his backpack so we should report this guy to steam, probably by tracking back through the previous ownership of those items you can find a string of scams in his wake, this guy needs to be removed from steam entirely.

    I took screenshots.
