Hey, i'd like to turn in xXTHEPOWDERXx. He scammed me off 5 Keys. I put up a trade on tf2tp, that i was buying 3 months of xbox live for 9 keys, he added me and had an xbox live 3 months membership card. I was trying to get him to cooperate with me to use a Middleman, but he didn't want to. So at last we both decided with this idea: I i give him 5 keys , he gives me the code and i give him the rest of the keys. So i gave him the 5 keys, and he deleted me.

Unfortunately I can only mark this user with a caution because this trade was a cross-platform trade. We highly recommend that users not trade for anything outside of Steam because there are so many scams like this (and also with gift cards, Runescape/WoW gold, etc). There's no way to verify whether or not the code worked objectively, though I can mark it with a caution because him logging off/dropping you before you've had the chance to verify and the rest of the evidence does point to a probable scam. Thank you for the report.
