    What happened? Description:
    Hi,

    So recently, I created this new account solely for trading keys (leftovers from bundles, sales, whatnot). I was selling a Dishonored 2 key on steamtrade. And then at September 18, this guy shows up, offering to buy it along with another key. His steam profile looked ok, and he didn't have any bans on steamrep. So since my newly created account looked more like a scam than this guy, I agreed to give him the keys first and get the payment later.

    He didn't want to pay before getting the additional key (NBA 2k18), and even provided a screenshot of his paypal as "proof that he's serious" about paying in full later. It was too late that I realized the grave mistake of forgetting to check his rep on steamtrade. It was just negative rep: https://www.steamtrades.com/user/76561198086295734.

    The next day, he unfriended me ignored further contact. And since I was too stupid in the first place, I forgot to take any chat evidence and now the logs are gone. The only thing I have is his screenshot of our chat as proof of his seriousness. In the end, I got scammed $26.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I was not the only one. His steamtrade rep: https://www.steamtrades.com/user/76561198086295734​
