Names mean nothing. Scammers always change them and frequently impersonate other people. Be sure to get his permanent numerical ID if you want to nail this guy, and be sure to file a steamrep.com report.
i found this is his profile , http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198052684359?t=last different one
Thanks for the update, added him as a friend an hour ago, would have traded with him in few hours after going home
i got scammed recently didnt have shit on him as my pc crashed like a minute after he blocked me
i think i wont trade anymore after this experience lol coz most of the game i bought is not new and expensive, just need to wait for a big sale on steam
agreed mate am done trading especially wid keys been scammed thrice now lost over 40$
Tazz is right, people who scam give people who trade in keys a bad name, I trade in keys because I took advantage of the Amazon holiday sale, but recently it's hard to deal with people because everyone is on high alert for scammers and the mention of the word "keys" breaks any deal. Used to be that you can rely on rep but now you got people with fake rep, all I know is you gotta play it smart but you can't stop your self from being trusting.
@Barthelomew i hear you mate even i trade in keys and ive been scammed thrice now for a good 40$ but hey am still here and trading dont think i can leave it but yea from now i will try and not go first but then since its a key most of people have the rule that the person wid the key goes first anyways gonna trade less in keys now for sure
Aw don't give up, trading can be fun as well as save you a ton of money :) Just stay safe and if there's any doubt, just walk away
That sucks man, I hope you have contacted support to solve this issue..
I hope it will all end well :P
Good Luck ^.^
Dark Mage scammed me as well, there already is a thread here for him.

Hate that guy. He's good at it though :( I traded with him because he was in the traders guild group. Not anymore though
i just report to steam about all the victim in this post and http://www.steamtrades.com/trade/7ObGk/dark-mage-is-a-scammer-do-not-trade-with-him
hope steam track his trade and ban all his account
I reported that guy a few days ago, don't know if it did any good though, seeing how steam didn't get back to me. Keep me posted though, I'd love to see someone get some justice on this douche.
I believe it was this dude that tried to scam me a week ago.When i heard his bullshit i instantly blocked him.
As soon as he overbid you should have demanded keys first.
No regular trader would give Walking Dead ($7.50) + HL Comp (at least $5) for Sleeping Dogs + DLC ($5.25).
If it seems too good to be true, demand they go first. If they say no, no loss, find someone else to trade with :)
People were selling Sleeping Dogs for 10$ etc., so this offer isn't anything weird. I also made many trades, where other trader was overpaying much.
And why did you list SD bugged price? It's like saying that HIB #1 is worth 1$...
Found this "http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/XmXLY/getting-back-at-scammers" In another thread about this guy, it's hilarious.
here is the conversation ,
