No. I gave him the key right from the HIB2 Bundle. I have pictures of the chat! I have pictures of the duplicate key he gave me. He put that rep for me right after I put that rep for him.
I will only stop if he agrees to come talk with me. Be blocked me right after giving me the duplicate key. You can look at my game list. I couldnt activate it.
Then report him to steamrep and at steam itself.
I don't think, anyone here can help you. :|
Sorry for your games.
at this point likely no, but it will flag him as a scammer so others don't trade with him.
Do you have screenshots of the whole incident? Helps prove that he stole from you.
Well since you thought anybody would give you Dark Souls for HiB2 I think you wanted to be scammed.
Anyway take all screenshots and report him at steamrep.com
It wasnt just for HiB2 man, the deal was:
Dont Starve + Castle Crashers + Frozen Synapse + HiB 2
for
Dark Souls and Legend of Grimrock
He'll be a know scammer, also you can report him to steam support they can remove the games (but won't give it back to you)
CD-key scams are extremely difficult to prove or disprove, and because of that, SteamRep generally does not handle them. This, unfortunately, is no exception. Sorry for the inconvenience.
tradeables where involved so the guy will get a trade ban and with 91 games he'll fell it, and i hope he tries to use the market that he will never be able to use on that account now.
I cannot verify this, but I have heard that in some cases (when reported early enough) Steam has the ability to reverse the trade. Don't take my word, but I would contact support, and try and find something about it on Google.
Well I reported him on Steam. Was gonna keep that to myself but Ive reported him fully to Steam with an honest and straightforward explanation of everything that happened. I know I shouldnt expect anything but Im hoping the complete explanation has some traction.

wolf4ever [werewolf2010 when he tried to scam me] is a scammer, he tried to scame me two days ago, insisted that I go first even though I had tradable gifts and he claimed to have a skyrim key.
I fucking hate scammer! Sorry man about your loss and I hope that you will be careful in the future. Steamrep will take care of flagging him as "SCAMMER" at Steamrep.com. You also should report him to Steam but I don't think you will get your games back though.
Sorry to hear that he stole from you. My trade with him was OK (but there was only tradable gift from his side)...
Ya...my tradeable Castle Crashers. He got rid of them quick. Probably made the trade with me to get the trade with you.
Trading for scammed is not a very good thing but I guess you didn't know his game was scammed before trading with him. Steam usually do not give back items that were not traded within trade window though, so I think you don't have the risk for losing it.
Yeap. Too bad that Bonelatch doesn't wrote list of games he lost in his rep comment in wolf4ever profile...
There was info only about DARK SOULS key. Wolf4ever told me that Bonelatch was scammer and fake rep giver.
Anyway I'm not happy, about this situation.
sorry to hear that he tried to steal my AC3 account , i reported him earlier today
post in to my thread there , i started it's the last one in first topic , put your proof aswell our both proof could ban him
Far out bro thats so stink lol im glad i didnt read this last night as i did my first trade last night and went first lol all went well though for me i dont mean to skite i feel for you man add me on steam k im nice and wana talk

What do you mean they dont handle them? There were many other games and tradables involved and I have evidence to prove the deal outright.
I am pretty sure that Steamrep does mark people as scammers for key trades. Steam itself won't do anything, but Steamrep definitely does mark key scammers.
^ This is definitely the case. Steamrep will mark them as a scammers if you hand them evidence. There's also a chance that Steam will suspend or ban them although you will not get anything back.
Rules can change you know... The chat 100% proves that sucker is a scammer. Generally when I trade keys (I trade keys even more than tradable gifts) I would like to give and recieve proofs of ownership before trading and this is the OP's fault, he didn't ask for proofs. But on the other hand, the chat conversation is very clear and the guy is 100% scammer so I think "rules" should be changed a bit
I get your point. You try to feel safe and I guess that kind of screwed me in the end. Im glad I thought to take pics this time though. Otherwise Id be utterly screwed. I hope you guys never have that feeling of seeing the person go offline...the key not working and realizing that everything you had is just gone. Those are good games too...You try to be honest, you try to be accommodating. I didnt want HIM to think I was being shady and paid the price.
Looks like we have a third victim:

Scroll down and you'll see Servizio's negative feedback. Ive asked him to come comment.
I once got scammed for a key, I went first that time because I was given a scammed Giftable game that got a chargeback so Steam restricted my account till I opened a ticket with support and they fixed it after 2 days. I screwed the scammer really hard and I don't think he traded again. Hunted him down in all forums... but still he didn't get Steamrep SCAMMER tag
Check this :
I hope this scammer gets screwed and branded like he deserves. Id ask everyone to negative rep him but Im pretty sure he woudl retaliate and negatively rep you. lol.
Thanks a lot man. I really didnt expect so many to rally. Its comforting. I guess theres for the internet not being filled with people like him.
This guy added me to offer his amazon gift card or Dark Souls key for my games, but said he wouldn't go first. When I asked him if he has any rep on trade forums like steamtrades he said he never heard of such a site, and then I found this thread..
Oh wow. Dude. That sort of evidence is SO great! Thank you so much. Even more proof!
Added that scambag to my block-inventory. :D
I feel sorry for your lost and hope you'll be more careful! I got scammed twice in here and learned from my faults.
Free bump
Same thing here yesterday evening. Four games lost... i hope i meet this scumbag one day....
Oh dude. Im so sorry. Rate him negatively and post on my threads! We need to rally everything we've got. What did you lose? Have any screenshots?
sadly no, i lost 2 copys of ravaged, left4dead 1+2 and gary´s mod. funny, first trade and first scam.
Sorry to hear about that. I haven't talked to him yet, but he has tried to add me a few times. Oh well, will block him next time he adds. Sorry you got scammed.
Most people here are friendly and legit but occasionally you get a real loser.
Sorry man. I bump this thread everyday. Im waiting to see if my efforts yield any sort of justice. One can only wait and hope now.
I learned from this sh+t.... i hope. but after all i think its my own fault. no key-trade anymore->check :D
WIN! Steam has TRADE BANNED this asshole! I dont know if its temporary or not but its there! I love it! Steam did however tell me that they will not be returning any of my games but what can I do? Whatever he gets, he deserves.

Agreed upon trade was supposed to be the three games listed below for Legend of Grimrock and Dark Souls Key. Instead he gave me a duplicate key for DS and stole:
Dont Starve
Castle Crashers
Frozen Synapse
