    What happened? Description:
    ScorpiO added me and said he was interested in my copy of Far Cry 3. He offered to trade for a PSC code for it. He suggested he'd half the code first, then I send the game, then he'd send the 2nd half.
    When I suggested safer ways for me of doing that (middleman, he sends his first) he got angry or just ignored it. I also suggested he'd just register the code himself and bought the items I'd buy so that we could keep the exchange within the trade window.
    He did offer some Binding of Isaac as security, but its value is a fraction of Far Cry 3's and does not even come close to covering it.
    I also found it very telling how he got angry about using his own money when I suggested that he'd buy items with the PSC balance.

    To the reader: don't accept half a key code in advance in the hopes that that would make things safer for you. It doesn't. Since you cannot verify or use the first half of the code, it might as well be just random numbers.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I've attached screenshots of our chat.​
