What happened? Description:

He messaged me about an offer I posted on steamtrades, where he offered to gift me BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend (which I can't buy myself because of region lock) in exchange for gifting him Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. I checked his Steam profile where he had a link to "his" SteamTrades, which later turned out to belong to a person he was impersonating. Thinking I can trust this guy, I gifted him what he wanted, he then told me he proceeded to gift me BlazBlue... and that's the last I heard from him. He went offline, and then I found out he's gone from my friends list and I can't find his profile on Steam Community. I managed to find the person he was impersonating though, and he helped me find the scammer's real profile - it turned out then he already has 5 reports. Overall, he scammed me for about $33, and to top it off, he also convinced me to disable the G2A Shield when purchasing the gift, so that I could save some money, and now I probably can't even get my money back.​

Provide Evidence:

Here is the screenshot of our conversation. It's not all of it, but it contains the most important information, and also a partially censored link to the gift redeeming page.​

Thanks for the report, he has also been using my name to scam people. I'm sorry to hear that he's STILL scamming people, even after all the complaints here and Steam...

Man, you have no idea how PISSED I am right now that he scammed me so easily. He only put ONE false link on his Steam profile description and I believed that it's real, not noticing the profile pictures were different (thought it was irrelevant), then I found another high-rep profile, which I believed to be his, on another site, and from then on I trusted him enough to even turn off the G2A Shield... Had I known to be more careful when checking earlier if the linked account is legit, I wouldn't be $33 short now...

Hello, please give a screenshot of your gift history.

I can't provide a screenshot of my gift history, because the gift wasn't bought on Steam, but on G2A; I can, however, post a screenshot of the finalized order of the gift along with the URL to the gift redeeming page. The URL is also visible on the sceenshot of my conversation with the accused, only I censored it, right now I'm not even sure why.
