1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    Description: This guy approached me interested in a copy of Shoot Many Robots that I owned and posing as a employee of a cdkey store (www.buypcgame.eu).
    I'm interested in the on-going Saints Row 3 promo so I saw this as an opportunity of getting the game.
    I checked his SteamRep (which is clean, shows a few scammers as friends but in previous experiences this hasn't meant anything as to the type of trader I'm dealing with), and his profile is full of (what I now presume fake) testimonials of successful trades with them going first.

    So I offered to trade him SMR+5 tf2 keys for a SR3 key. After I transfered the goods, he said he was getting the key from his store and then promptly deleted and blocked me from Steam.

    I made a mistake and let the opportunity at a cheap game get the best of me, but I don't want other people to be fooled by this person.

    Thank you for your time.

    I should have checked this thread first. I got scammed by him with a Dead Island key. Damn.
