For a long time now, I've noticed that some low rep traders specially from a country in the Middle East are offering tradable Steam gifts that are mostly of high value for any Origin keys even the low value ones and they are even willing to go first with the tradables. Then after few weeks, the tradable gift gets revoked because it was either bought fraudulently or the payment was charged back.

The reason they ask specifically for Origin keys is because EA does NOT under any circumstance revoke redeemed keys (except maybe that one time when they revoked some SimCity keys sold by Amazon) and they do not investigate any scamming reports.

So be careful guys and don't fall for it. Remember that: when it is too good to be true, then it isn't :)

And again. Maybe there should be a stick post that has all the known scams in one place? I know for one that being new to trading can be hard enough so i imagine many would find this helpful.

Well, to be honest the guy seems legit (very good rep and great Steam account). In this thread I am warning about low (if any) rep traders who make insane offers :)
