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.
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!

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!
