    Description:
    The scammer added me to his/her friend's list and stated that he wanted my Steam-redeemable Key for Red Faction: Guerilla in exchange for his tradable Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II Gold Edition (which I can confirm was in his/her inventory), and then I said I wanted him/her to trade first and I also added: "You don't have any 'Good trader +rep, etc" on your profile and they said that I didn't either (which is a reasonable observation as I had not traded before), so I reluctantly gave him the key for Red Faction: Guerilla. He/she then initiated a trade, waited for a few seconds, and then closed it, deleted me from his friends list, and blocked communications.

    TL;DR: Took my key and didn't trade the item he promised afterwards, just closed the trade.

    Hello, may I ask the receipt of your purchase or a proof that such key was valid?
