    Description: I was in a trade server looking to buy keys. He offered to sell them. I bought them from him on 2 occasions before, so that built some trust. The first time was a straight up trade. He told me he had the keys on another account, and he asked how many I wanted and he transferred them to his account, and we traded. I need to buy more, so he said to make it go faster he asked if he could take the half of the metal and then go to the account with the keys and send them over, and then I'd pay the rest of the metal. I gave him half of the metal, he moved over to his other account, and said he didn't have any more, and he transferred back all of my metal (which inspired a lot more confidence, silly me, right?) Well this time he said he had the keys so I gave him the metal, and "his battery died" on his laptop. He promised he'd give me the keys at a specific time and failed to do so. In fact, within an hour, without being online on my friends list, I encountered him in another trade server. He was selling keys. Then in 2 other occasions he was online and completely ignored me. I even added him from an alternate account I had, and he came online to talk to my alternate account, and then went offline again.

    9:29 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Trade over half now and then the other half after we trade some?
    9:29 PM - JazZ5109AI: Prefer the entire whole now so I don't need to switch again

    9:39 PM - JazZ5109AI: s✿✿✿ mate, my laptop battery died
    9:40 PM - JazZ5109AI: attempting to find battery now
    9:40 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Ohhh.... You shouldn't let that happen! The worst could happen!
    9:40 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Find the charger xD
    9:40 PM - JazZ5109AI: meant to say charger xD
    9:40 PM - JazZ5109AI: can you trade via mobile or does steam disallow it ?
    9:41 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Can't trade via mobile :-\
    9:41 PM - JazZ5109AI: of course
    9:42 PM - JazZ5109AI: aye, would you mind if I send the keys tomorrow morning ?  I've searched the entire apartment for this damned thing
    9:42 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: damn dude
    9:42 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: this sucks
    9:42 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Would you mind please? Because I'd REALLY like to move a lot of the keys tonight :-\
    9:43 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Weekends are big days for me for trading
    9:43 PM - JazZ5109AI: I think it is inside my fiancé's room, let me check
    9:43 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Especially since i just got rid of all of my metal, i can't buy any other keys to resell! So I'm pretty much stuck ...
    9:44 PM - JazZ5109AI: fiancé is using my charger...
    9:44 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Lol. can't you steal it xD She's (or he's) probably sleeping xD
    9:45 PM - JazZ5109AI: She :). She's actually like using it lol, she told me to screw off when I said I need it
    9:45 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Oh come on dude. :-\ You can't leave me hanging!
    9:45 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: I'm pretty uneasy that this happened RIGHT after I traded all my metal
    9:45 PM - JazZ5109AI: I'm legit trying to get her to give it, I'll do my best
    9:45 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: 30 seconds :$
    9:45 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: haha
    9:46 PM - JazZ5109AI: She's definitely not going to give it up ;-;
    9:47 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: To be honest, I feel like i've been ripped off :'(
    9:47 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: I'm sure you can appreciate the sentiment
    9:47 PM - JazZ5109AI: Aye I feel your pain and greatly apologize
    9:47 PM - JazZ5109AI: Not sure what to do in the situation honestly
    9:48 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: OK, can you be honest? Was this a scam? :s
    9:48 PM - JazZ5109AI: Absolutely not!  I understand why you feel that way :(
    9:48 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: OK..
    9:48 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Well, there is nothing I can do in this situation
    9:48 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: You've got all my metal... xD
    9:48 PM - JazZ5109AI: If its reassuring at any measure my fiancé threw a shoe at me xD
    9:49 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Can you please tell her that someone feels very bad on the other end?
    9:49 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: And that it won't take more than 1 minute
    9:49 PM - JazZ5109AI: Already told her I only need to use the computer for a second so I don't ruin my reputation
    9:49 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Hmmmfff
    9:49 PM - JazZ5109AI: That's when she threw it at me
    9:50 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Ok
    9:50 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Well, there's nothing I can do in this situation
    9:50 PM - JazZ5109AI: How about we wait until tomorrow when I awake, and I'll give you ten keys on me for your trouble
    9:50 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: No need for the 10 keys.
    9:51 PM - JazZ5109AI: You sure ?
    9:51 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: I've been scammed before
    9:51 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: And I do'nt know if this is one xD
    9:51 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: So ... 10 imaginary keys or real ones. xD haha I dunno
    9:51 PM - JazZ5109AI: Well tomorrow ill have to prove myself, then
    9:51 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Lol
    9:51 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: OK.
    9:51 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Then in that case. 10 keys sounds fine xD
    9:51 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: But I'll pay you back for them
    9:51 PM - JazZ5109AI: Last time there was an issue I returned the metal, trust me I'm not out to scam
    9:52 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: haha OK. I believe you
    9:52 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: I have faith that tomorrow I'll see you :)
    9:52 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Around what time will you be here?
    9:52 PM - JazZ5109AI: Alright mate, I'll see ya tomorrow
    9:54 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: So then ... Hopefully I'll see you later :)
    9:54 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: Have a good night
    9:54 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: and take that shoe and throw it right back!
    9:54 PM - ..::Kent Kanobe::..: haha
    9:54 PM - JazZ5109AI: See ya mate, gnight
    9:54 PM - JazZ5109AI: Hahaha
     
    
    After this I saw him connect multiple times, and was in trade servers. That's when I realized. I decided to see if he'd trade with me today, and he hasn't been online, and that's when I snapped another shot of our conversation.

    Thank you very much. I just hope nobody falls for his nice routine like I did. He built up confidence, by selling and then returning metal, and then just to steal it.

    The seller after a lot talking finally answered me and returned my metal. So I'd like to retract this, because technically it's no longer a scam if I get my stuff back. Thank you. I love steamrep. :)

    I don't know if anyone talked to him or investigated anything, but he ignored me until I mentioned that I was going to report him. But in the end he returned all my metal.

    I would still like to report this trader for fraudulent activities. Even though I got my items back just because I threatened to report him, doesn't mean he won't do it again. I've caught him in numerous lies. He isn't at all what he appears to be and I'd like to warn everyone else about him. Kind regards. KentKanobe.

    Has there been any further developments? Because I've been messaged by people who found this thread and are asking me about this seller and he's been scamming others out of their stuff and telling me their woes and asking me for advice!
