Soooo I just had someone try to scam me, poor sod didn't know I had Steam Enhanced though (which made it very easy to look at his Steamtrades profile). I then proceeded to string him along, feigning interest before I threw him a link to his own Steamtrades rep. Here's the transcript of the convo:

Scammer's Steam account link is here

Szeth-son-Neturo: Yes?

Tipu Asta: Hey,one friend told me that u sell just cause 2,u want other games or paypal

Tipu Asta: ?

Szeth-son-Neturo: other games

Tipu Asta: See in my inventory,if u don't want i have also humbles/cd-keys

Szeth-son-Neturo: link me

Tipu Asta: http://steamcommunity.com/id/NiggaTip/inventory/

Tipu Asta: http://steamcommunity.com/id/NiggaTip/inventory/#753

Tipu Asta: *(

Szeth-son-Neturo: hmm, what about your game keys?

Tipu Asta: Ok see my list: mafia 2,bioshock infinite,south park,pid,state of decay, rush bros, really big sky, sniper ghost warrior 2,sniper elite v3.

Tipu Asta: so?

Szeth-son-Neturo: Might be interested in State of Decay

Tipu Asta: Hmm.. ok

Szeth-son-Neturo: You'll have to go first though

Tipu Asta: Ok,i first but u have rep,wait..

Szeth-son-Neturo: Before you do anything

Tipu Asta: U have 1 rep..

Tipu Asta: Sorry i can't send 1st

Szeth-son-Neturo: I'd like to know why you have this http://www.steamtrades.com/user/Fabr3gas

Szeth-son-Neturo: I have 6 rep on Steamtrades

Szeth-son-Neturo: you have -24

Szeth-son-Neturo: dude

Tipu Asta: Ok,maybe gift for gift..

Tipu Asta: if u don't have gift i can't trade for u

Tipu Asta: :0

Szeth-son-Neturo: Dude, I can totally see you're trying to scam me

Tipu Asta: I don't care, do gift for gift..

Tipu Asta is now offline.

Anyway, beware of the guy, his rep is -24 (-25 now that I've added mine), which probably means he has had a lot of successful scams in the past. Would appreciate any bumps for this!

Seem like he's changed his Steam link - thanks for the update!

It seems like a Romanian gang, 2 of his friends are also known scammers, and also from Romania.

Correlation does not necessarily imply causation - but interesting nonetheless.

There is a lot of scammers, nothing weird.

True, but letting someone else know about any given scammer helps. Not everyone double checks on Steamtrades or Steamrep before they decide to trade. Maybe this will help.

Luck has nothing to do with it. Double-checking and being very paranoid helps a lot!

He keeps changing it. I just linked to his Steamtrades profile (where you can access his actual Steam profile regardless of whether he changes it or not).
