Pretty much went down exactly the same way http://www.steamtrades.com/trade/s2lsb/ this thread said. Told me that he had a cd key of the game I wanted (Space Engineers, mentioned my doubts that an early access game had cd keys, but he didn't catch on, what a dumbass.), then refused to trade the key first. Tried to bait him with some things I didn't care too much about, lo and behold I got him to say that he didn't want to use the official trading system, only gifts. At that point I was googling him and confirming my suspicions, that he and his fake middleman are scammers.
Don't be fooled. Key traders go first. Never gift games that are tradable instead of just trading them.
