Now i got 3 (-) rep because of that guy, so if theese scammed guys are watching this thread, please remove the (-) reps ASAP!
he is copying memske, ocolus and u. All 3 are respected traders. And traders allways stay online so when u have some1 using ur name he will have (2) behind the name.
I know that guy. He offered Black ops 2 + Borderlands 2 + Garry's mod Key for my RAGE. lol
Indeed. Its sad to see Yatterman and his reporting thread go. Perhaps we can at least have a stickyed thread for reporting scammers, just so people are informed.
thanks...i just read that thread and what happened? the exact person added me two mins ago and offered me something big for a tiny game of mine ;)
thanks for the heads-up.
The managers should put an alert in red in the part of above of the web so that everybody reads it, especially the new users.

Really good work with IP. The problem is that ISPs provides IP from DHCP, He only need restart router/modem to get another IP.
steam needs to start IP banning them so even if they do another account their IP will do them in.
Unfortunately that's not possible. A lot of people in many countries are using shared IP addresses because of ISP limitations and that will do them in too... :(
Darn what is left to do? Even if you ban them they will continue under another account. I guess the only way valve will be involved is it hurts them financially.
Well i got 7 negative rep for that impesonators peoples are so stupid when they cant see with Who trading games
yeah and I posted Warning on my profile page about this scammers.... this ppl are so dumb to check the linked profile
One user give me -1 rep few days ago too. I send a message to "lokonopa" yesterday to inform him about this frequenly new mode of scam, I hope that admins make an alert in web as soon as possible. We are not guilty of this and pay it with negative votes. 1 week ago that I'm trying to fight against this and I am getting fed up. I go to bump my post than alert this again.
yep. I cant do nothing more to explain him that im not the scammer. He is really noob.
yeah that how it works, we are making great rep and then scamm ppl for a trash game key))
xD i also cant explain to man who give me negative rep xD he wants to give him back his games, he even dont know to check inventory history and see thats not me ..xDD

Im out of town and i dont trade for almost 2 weeks but i still can get negative reps. Excellent!
Shame to see new traders getting scammed this way. "Look before you leap" is a perfect adage, but people are in such a rush to trade that they don't practice due diligence. Still, Steam really should collaborate with steamrep, cg and steam trades. Afterall, they are doing for free, what Steam should be doing anyways.
Oh well, maybe someday Steam will actually care about truly punishing scammers in the community. As it stands, unless you do a chargeback (which costs them money), Steam just doesn't punish severely.
If you are reading this, talk to experienced traders before you dive in headfirst. A lot of us have been trading since December and have seen all manner of scams.
I made that Thread for the Newbie Traders, who's can so easily scammed! So please read this description!
Impersonator alert! i got some info about that guy, he want to use my (and other good Trader's) reputation to scam peoples!! watch out please!!
