    What happened? Description:
    "I'm not trying to scam you"
    Added for the game Valkyria Chronicles, the agreement was that i was to give the 5 keys upfront and he/she would send the game through steam due to the steam update.

    Ako has accepted your request to trade.
    Ako: oh yeah forgot to mention
    Ako: because of the steam update
    Ako: its not tradable for 30 days
    Ako: it becomes untradable on the 21st of january
    Ako: but uhmm if you want you can give me keys then ill gift it to you
    Ako: i have 8 pages of steam rep

    Later he/she wanted my email to send it because of "steam error". I, being the genius that i am, gave her 2 of my emails as the 1st one didn't "work". Suddenly Ako could send it through steam.

    Ako: wait i can send it through steam
    Ako: now
    Ako: sweet
    Bullets2Xchange: cool
    Bullets2Xchange: tell me once uve sent ti
    Bullets2Xchange: it*

    He/she wanted me to restart steam for the game to appear continuously... which raised my alarms (show below). This time the deal was restart steam and if it isn't there i'll refund. I began taking screenshots at this point.

    Ako: try restarting steam
    Ako: try restarting steam
    Ako: you'll probablty just need to restart though
    Ako: if it doesnt work after you restart
    Ako: how about you restart
    Ako: then ill restart
    Ako: i mean what bad is restarting your client going to do.
    Ako: in all honesty
    Ako: why is it so hard to restart steam
    Ako: i think that is the initial problem ehre

    (all instances where restarting was mentioned)

    At this point i gave up and asked for a refund but first told Ako to cancel the "gift". Ako then told me that he/she couldn't cancel it through steam and email so i have to deny it, which is a problem considering that i don't even have it. This of course ended with Ako asking me to restart.

    I then asked for screenshot proof that he/she actually sent it emailed to me through the provided emails. I told him to use windows sniping tool to get the screenshots but apparently he/she uses mac and so did I (I lied, googled how to take screenshots on mac).

    Bullets2Xchange: ok then give me proof that you have sent it
    Ako: and also i'd prefer not to give out personal details
    Ako: how would i do that?
    Bullets2Xchange: u use windows right?
    Ako: no
    Bullets2Xchange: then what?
    Ako: im on mac
    Bullets2Xchange: k
    Bullets2Xchange: well so am i
    Bullets2Xchange: so good thing we are using the same os
    Bullets2Xchange: u can take a screen shot by
    Ako: yeah
    Bullets2Xchange: command shift 3
    Ako: then
    Bullets2Xchange: do u see a new file on the desktop
    Ako: a file of?
    Bullets2Xchange: screenshot
    Ako: mm
    Ako: i cant send pictures over steam
    Bullets2Xchange: you have my email
    Ako: i dont send emails....
    Ako: never have
    Ako: its a bit of a old thing
    Bullets2Xchange: well u can start lol
    Ako: ok wait a sec
    Ako: uhmm since i havnt used my email in so long
    Ako: its asking me for all this stuff
    Ako: and i used an email that i dont remember the things i put down

    It concluded with:
    Bullets2Xchange: y does this have to be so hard
    Ako: in all honesty
    Ako: why is it so hard to restart steam
    Ako: i think that is the initial problem ehre
    Bullets2Xchange: Ok fine then
    Bullets2Xchange: just telling you that i have the whole chat screenshotted and your profile url
    Ako: ok
    Bullets2Xchange: hopefully i dont need to use them but im willing to sacrifice my keys
    Ako: aight
    Ako is now Offline.

    Sorry this was so long but hopefully this person gets punished. I originally trusted him/her as the profile looked legit. Will leave screen shots of the whole chat plus what the profile looked like which is now, unsurprisingly, private...

    May my 5 keys RIP :(

    Provide Evidence:
    All those captures are the entire chat log. Can also provide the rest of the profile when it isn't private or at least what i saw if needed
    If anything is missing feel free to add me.

    I can confirm this guy is trying to scam people.

    He adds random users without considering what they are looking for, their Steam region.... and then pretends they go first, doesn't matter how many reputation they have.

    I am also a victim. I feel pretty bad about it because we talked for quite a while. For some reason I didn't see the report on his steamrep (the system was down?) when I checked earlier.

    Yeah true but I haven't been trading in a while and only really buy others games with my keys. This was my mistake on my behalf. I'm sorry to hear your loss but at least we can band with the steamrep community to retaliate to these scams.
