you have sommething like a prrof i mean he offering you a eets key against cards and now?
I didn't keep the chat log but I can show that I traded him via trade history and that he has the card. In addition if you check steamrep.com you'll see that both are friends and at lest one is listed as a scammer.
Well, if they are both already loisted as scammers on Steamrep, there is not much else to do here. Except take your lesson and check SteamRep yourself next time on forehand. :)
Agreed, that said anything that can be done about getting negative rep because of reporting them?
Contact support, but don''t expect that much of it soon. Too bad you did not have screenshots or soemthing. But you could explain in your threads that the person giving you negrep is known on SR as a scammer.
You do realize that vampyre313 you neg repped and the scammer are two different people? It was an impersonator. You better apologise him for a neg, it's your fault you didn't check the steamid.

real vampyre: http://steamcommunity.com/id/KingArmando/
im talking to him for like an hour and he doesn't understand!!!! there is another person too .
Sorry Vampyre313, I'm new to the trading scene so getting burned or scammed really leaves a sour taste in ones mouth. In which I jumped the gun and used facts that where at hand with out double checking. I hope you can see where I was coming from and sorry for any inconvenience.
Now newhistory2 gave you a negative rep too. Actually he didn't scam you, but you are right looks like they are some sort of Canadian Mafia, lol. If you ckeck his profile on Steamrep, you will find that several of his friends are flagged as scammers, and then if you check their profiles, you can actually see how they gave positive rep to each other. So I suspect that is the same person, I think he added you with his main profile by mistake and then used one of his other profiles to scam you. Most of the profiles were created on 2012-11.
These are the profiles flagged as scammers that have positive rep between each other:

Don´t know what to think of this profile:
- http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198063029103
Owns more than 60 games, has positive rep from newhistory2 on steamtrades but also has negative rep from other user. And on top of that has profile 3 and 6 as friends on Steam and of course positive rep between each other.
Could be the same person that was impersonating me yesterday. I spent the past hour finding people they scammed, which turned out to be one and I had them create a thread on steamrep.com
I'm sure this is the same person going around scamming everyone. Created a thread about someone impersonating me
Update: More scammer profiles of theirs
He scammed again today, took The Walking Dead from user vakhet. The game ended in newhistory2's library.
Not sure where I'm supposed to post scammer information but I was just scammed by this individual. Posted to my thread offering an Eats key for cards. Sent me a friend invite as NewHistory! didn't say anything. Shortly after a friend invite from vampyre313 came offering the same game and using the exact same phasing. Should have been a red flag but hind sight is 20/20. In short I gave him the cards and he didn't give the key he offered...
NewHistory!
EDIT - As it was pointed out to me the "vampyre313" I traded with was an impostor and should not be refelected upon the real vampyre313
