    I had a 2-pack of Don't Starve for sale, and someone added me from my outpost post. I told him clearly that it was a 2-pack and to send back the extra copy that would be spawned in his inventory. He agreed, and we did the trade (4 TF2 keys for Don't Starve). Then he proceeded to block me. I contacted a friend of his on his friends list and he spoke to him for me, and he refused to give the game back, saying that he never said he would. I have screenshots of both the chat with the scammer and the chat with his friend linked below.

    The friend was very helpful, hopefully with both of these chat logs, it'll be enough to prove intent to scam. I know this was a stupid move on my part, but no real loss, I only spent 4 keys on the 2 pack anyway, so I got my money back, and I had nobody I trusted interested in breaking the pack for me, so not much of a choice. If you need anything else, let me know.

    That would work, an SR admin will investigate this in a while!
