    I have found this guy on SteamGameSwap when trying to conduct a trade. He successfully scammed a guy out of Chivalry with his "supposed" Far Cry 3 key that he got with his graphics card. See thread below:

    http://www.reddit.com/r/SteamGameSw...y_medieval_warfare_dota_2_w_far_cry_3/c7oxnon

    See examples of various keys offered by him to different people:

    I have tried to bait him with an offer and once I was trying to suggest a middleman, he aggressively asked if I would go first or no deal. So when I suggested trusted middleman again, he removed and blocked me. See screenshot of conversation below:

    Hope this is enough. Thanks.

    Well since then he removed his reddit profile so you won't be able to see his key offers, but I managed to take a screenshot of it:

    The Gabe Newell 666 account was created at the 12/29/2012 and has only one friend, which is marked as a game scammer. This is just a guess, but this could be just a very fresh alt account.
    Anyway, did you also contacted the reddit moderators -> [PSA] Watch for scammers!
