KillerGasy - I traded my QUBE Key for his Killing Floor gift. A few days later, Steam banned me from trading and removed KF from my inventory. Steam refused to listen to my pleas for justice. I contacted KillerGasy and asked him to compensate me for my QUBE key. He said that he didn't owe me anything. He said that he knew exactly how Steam works and that i would get nothing for my QUBE key. He even laughed and mocked me for trusting him and threw in a smiley face.

Can I get proof that the trade went through? I need his steam profile as well.

Sorry, i dont have any proof. I dont know how to screen capture and all that stuff. I think KillerGasy is his Steam ID but he might have changed it. I listed him here to try to warn other traders. I was upset with losing my QUBE key, but i was shellshocked by Steam's unjust treatment. I was severely punished for being the victim. Its like being raped and then being told that it was your fault and then being locked up for 2 weeks.

Contact steam support and ask to escalate your ticket if they aren't being useful. To screen capture, hit print scrn on your keyboard, open up paint, hit ctrl+v, then save it and upload it to imgur.

Thanks for your friendly advice and help. This incident was a wakeup call for me regarding Steam. Their cold and heartless replies to my pleas for justice left a very bad taste in my mouth. Here I am, a loyal customer with over 100 games in my account and to be treated like a criminal. They even threatened to contact the police if they found another fraudulently purchased game in my account regardless of how it got there. I guess i'm responsible for how the other trader got their games. I will now buy my games elsewhere and use Steam only for Steamworks titles if i absolutely have to. Sorry for ranting, but i had to vent somewhere.

its an assholish move, to ask for more games then cancel on the guy. you should be banned of the site if your doing stuff like that.

That is extremely rude to do, especially since he had to buy the games for the trade you originally agreed upon. But sadly it's not ban worthy.

You could add to the second point something about differences between real profile [http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/xxxxxx (x = digits)] and changable ID [http://steamcommunity.com/id/yyyyyy (yyyy = custom url, letters and/or digits)] pointing out at most obvious difference between 'em which is profiles/id in those links and the easiest way to know what are you looking at.

Also maybe an advice to convert other contractor's profile using one of sites http://steamidfinder.com/ or http://steamidconverter.com/ before trading in case of being scammed which will help in reporting.

This guys
He wanted to trade CS:GO for MW2 or L4D2. I contacted him, i offered MW2, he agreed to trade with me. Then i bought him MW2 as his required. We open the trade window, he accepted. I put my game in it. From that point, he went idle, didn't say anything and then cancelled it. I tried to trade again and found that he traded his game to another person. So the problem here is, he agreed to trade with me, we both reached an agreement, but then he traded with someone else. That was my last money and now it's gone.

Or you attempt to scammed him? What your lost for the whole deal huh? What that guy said is true, if your KEY working the HOMEFRONT should have in his library. Well, let assuming you fast enough to gave key to friend to tried and activated, so where the chat log btw you and your "friend"? You claimed you has a "video" to prove, upload it to youtube now so we all can judging who is the real scammed. Don't try seeking to mislead any people here, he said the KEY wasn't working is before you "gave it to friend", not after. Show the complete chat log if you're innocent !

PS. It seems you got 36 friends in steamrep, 4:42am 28/3/2012 GMT+8. Ask your "friend" upload his steam Store Transactions to prove he is the one who activated your HOMEFRONT RETAIL KEY on 27/3/2012. Congratulations if you can't find any, you are the pricks who deserve to be banned.

He did with me yesterday! he had asked to change my grid portal bundle. After I offered key kane and lynch 2. He agreed. Ai said, I send the key first (as I always do with the guys here), he accepted. I asked two times: Can I send the key? He: Yes When I sent, he said he no longer wanted. He was offering games that I have. I had to give the key to my friend, for he did not use after.

Here is the conversation: http://pastebin.com/jSDPVMZj
As it is I'm Argentine and Brazilian ... I was talking to him in Spanish

I put a negative in his profile. I still tried to be his friend by offering grid portal bundle (it was what he wanted in the beginning). Then he was dropping joke, put a negative to me and deleted steam

It was added and wanted to buy my CS. Then started to speak that the friend gave it 80 euros (and then told already $85), and he constantly went on that it goes soon on work and it is necessary for me will hurry that with such money (and his assumption of Skyrim + game) it will very quickly find. Then I exchanged CS GO (at other guy). He speaks that it has an account recently registered and it can't transfer a thing through Sream Trade, I ask to give the reference to its profile in Steamtrades.com and the reference where it found my post. He tells that at it on an account not enough games for the sum of $50 what to be registered. And he speaks to me that it has reputations in a profile more than at me. As a result I was frozen long, and he writes to me that it found other guy with whom it wants to exchange, I both threw to it an exchange and gave CS, the E-Mail told, and he from me told didn't buy anything, because he told that he will send the bought games to me not to the E-mail.

Long story short: I got scammed, it was my fault, I didn't know much about trading. I should've found out that over *) +reps doesn't mean anything at all. Try to avoid this guy and his indentitities, which I've found by digging around for a couple hours.

Long story long: I've received a copy of CS:GO and was happy - I knew it was worth a lot. I went to Steamtrades.com and posted that I've a game to trade. This guy added me to his friends list and offered $80 worth of games. He would buy them, but since he hasn't bought a game for himself for a long time, he couldn't buy gifts to his Steam inventory, so I had to go first. I checked his profile, he had over 80 +reps, some even from reputable people, so I thought - "well, perhaps I can trust this guy, even though that'd violate my 'don't trust nobody' policy", and I agreed. Shortly after I traded him the copy of CS:GO, he blocked me. After I've passed him a message that I'm giving him 16 hours to come to his senses, he changed his profile link and avatar. Unfortunately for him, that isn't enough to hide your identity if the one who got scammed is motivated.

So here's everything what a motivated guy can dig up in 8 hours of digging:

The account who scammed me doesn't have a Steamtrades.com profile, as he doesn't meet the requirements...
His SPUF account: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/member.php?u=1205163
His Playdota.com profile: http://www.playdota.com/forums/member.php?u=90392453

All of what I dug up can be proven by a huge wall of text with what I did and many links to various places, as well as screenshots in case those links would get removed.

Extra comment: Quite a few people told me that lately the Steam community is getting filled by a lot of scammers... Some of even quit trading, after being one of the first traders. As one of them said "the trading community is rotting" - I guess it's turning into a casual F2P MMORPG community, one of those where nobody speaks English...

Hopefully I helped someone to avoid this guy. :P

EDIT: After posting it around the net, a user has reported that his account at SPUF messaged him with the following Steam account, so it might be another alternate account of his: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198057558135

Thank you Mysterious. I have learned a lesson here and will go a long way...

These scammers are just waiting for bad luck to happen, they will lose something when they least expect it. What a shame, .. he has 81 comments of mostly positive reputation built from trading and he finally commits 1 scam. All it takes is 1 scam to reduce that 81 positive comment to rubbish. I hope he gets what he deserves and we all learn from your determination. Thank you.

Thank you.

Actually he did attempt to scam more than 10 people, asked those who were in his friends list. Luckily they were traders and were aware of things like middlemen and Steamrep. They didn't have anything to prove that he would scam them, just strong assumptions. Nor do I think that any of them would've spend 8 hours looking for stuff about someone...

Well, who knew that I'd find myself here? I suppose there is always a consequence for trading and know who you are trading with (but that's not easily accomplished).

I was scammed by a Steam user: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Yuzuki-neesan

I was contacted on Steam by Yuzuki who offered to trade me his Steam CD-key of Batman: Arkham City or Deus Ex for my Bulletstorm. His story was that it came with his nVIDIA GTX 6850 graphics card and he did not want the game since he had it for X-box 360 but he did want Bulletstorm. I was actively making posts and searching the Steam Trading forums to trade my Bulletstorm away. I went first for the trade and he was polite but he told me to wait for the key then left abruptly (went offline, took me off list). I got scammed and feel pretty much at the bottom of the pits now.

Screenshot of the conversation: http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o438/fadingsephiroth/YuzukiScamSundayApril12012.jpg
Screenshot of his Steam profile after he deleted me from friends list: http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o438/fadingsephiroth/YuzukiScamSundayApril12012.jpg

Please do a search on this Yuzuki and prevent him from scamming anyone else -- I realize this is my fault since I trusted him but I would like the Steam Trading community to not be affected by this scammer as I am also an avid trader there. I have lost my Bulletstorm to him but I do not want this to repeat from his end.

I ask of you to help me in these regards. Thank you for your cooperation.

As he hasn't removed you from his friends list, have you tried to contact him again ? Because what he wrote seems (to me) to indicate he was under the false impression he already gave you the stuff...

This guy tried to scam me: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198061208481/

He wanted to trade me a dota 2 key for my trine, yeah obvious scammer alert.

He gave the key first and I passed it along to this user: http://steamcommunity.com/id/DreadPirateR/

He said it had already been redeemed and mailed me a screenshot that confirmed he was right.

I don't know if this is reason enough for a ban, but I at least wanted to warn you about him.

He goes by Biggie Smalls I suppose.
I do not have any screenshots to provide for you guys.
All I lost within the transaction was a mere 3 Nuclear Dawn Guest Passes, he didn't follow up on his half of the trade.
Do not really care as to people find my report to be legitimate or not, just be wary of this account.

What was the trade?

And can I see your gift history?

1 decade ago

The trade was PvZ GOTY, + a sweetener, for his DOTA 2 key, I was very lax when it came to the trade.
I said that all I had were Guest Passes and SMNC Invites, he said it was fine.
Here's my gift history, http://i.imgur.com/guch3.png.
And here was his previous picture/avatar with Biggie Smalls, http://i.imgur.com/s8f8z.png.
He just now changed his name and picture/avatar to avoid people he's scammed.
Edit: This is the image he sends to people, http://s019.radikal.ru/i606/1204/bf/be35218855d1.jpg.
Note that I am not too disappointed I had lost the Guest Passes, just raising awareness.

i see you

He offered to trade a DOTA 2 key for $25 in Steam gifts. He made me go first because he had more rep. Then he gives me a key and immediately goes offline. The key was two characters short and invalid. He came back online and I tried to confront him. He then immediately added me to his ignore list. Stay away from him. He's a scammer!\

EDIT: Just changed his ID to SCD113^ (some kind of triangle character).

Here's his profile: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Litrins

This is true and should have including in this Sticky as well. Most of the scammer tend to added his victims without any posting in thread, and any invite from new account must avoid at all cost also.

of course you can't find his steamtrade id, he isn't qualifying to register yet.
