=/ How many times the people need to be scammed ? for understand that trade with keys is too risky =/ dont matter how much reputation they have never trade with keys or codes.
You NEVER, I mean NEVER go first if he has a key with low rep. Since he isn't going first your common knowledge should already tell you it's a scam.
not a big amount of money for me:) just tried to go first:)
My fault.:D
Just saw that a good guy bought a game from him...but i think this game was also stolen:)
your scammer seems to be friends with this guys scammer http://www.steamtrades.com/trade/uOOIB/beware-of-scrammer-with-natural-selection-2
next time make him send you pics of the video card box with your user name or purchase page with the chat open. key and personal info blacked out oc.
I think it is OK to trade on keys but you just have to be really careful if you do.
-
Make sure the person has posted in your thread and not just added you. ( impersonators will just add you )
-
Check Steam Profile for trader comments.
-
Check how many games and how long they have been with Steam ( scammers often use indie bundles and exploited keys for multiple accounts. Also someone with 500 games who has had an account for 5 years probably wont risk anything by scamming a key)
-
Check how many user names they have been known by ( if its a lot be wary )
-
Check the user with SteamRep
-
If they have lower rep but are insisting you go first dont trade
Always record the trade so if anyone scams they can be reported and marked on SteamRep. Key trades always carry a risk but if you do all this you can minimize it.
