    Description:
    Advertizing I was selling Counter Strike: Global Offensive on TF2OP (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/1963062). Added by ┼BTP┼ Marrudinho shortly after, where he wanted to trade the game for 2 game keys (one for Borderlands and one for Saints Row 3, see chat log for details). I agreed to the trade, but I insisted he would give the keys 1st since he didn't have much good rep (note: he presented some bogus rep too during the chat). We enter trade, and he insists I give him the game (yelling GO!!, see trade chat log) before giving me the game keys. I refuse to trade with him until I have the keys. He eventually gives me the keys, which turn out to be invalid (already used, see the last tinypic screenshot). I never followed through with the trade, so I didn't lose the game, but he was clearly trying to use fake/already used game keys to scam me out of the copy of CS:GO.

    If you need any additional information, feel free to add me or post in this thread.

    Thanks for your help.
