Hey man, I'm sorry for you. But you should ask first for another way to use your code. You could get a complete version from web and instead of using keygens, you use your own key. On that way, you'll have your game legal and registered to your ubi account (when you install it, uplay is installed too. After you enter your own code, uplay will link that code with your account).

What do you mean another way to use my code? The code he scammed me is the one to activate in a uPlay account. Now the code doesn't work (obviously he had activated it in his uPlay account).

I use uPlay. There is none "Redeem a code". Instead, when you install a retail game from Ubi, also will be installed uPlay. While it's installing will request your code but before launch you must log in your uPlay account. On this way, your retail game is attached to a uPlay account. How do you get a retail copy? From web.

Yes... I've done that. I even download the whole game and installed it on my PC to check if it's not used by the scammer...

"Instead, when you install a retail game from Ubi, also will be installed uPlay. While it's installing will request your code but before launch you must log in your uPlay account"
Ubisoft returned me "This CD Key or Activation Code is already in use with another Uplay Account. For more information please contact Ubisoft Support."

Contact them though! Maybe giving a proof you are owner of that key they will revoke it from were is used.

I did that. I hope they can revoke the key from him. Thanks for you advices. Now, for my 'negative' feedback left by the f**ker here. How can I deal with that?

No, it's not... I asked Natewaites myself. He told me you're suppose to give him games in 6hours. You can refer to my report page on steamrep.com

I'm home now waiting for him to return to his desktop. Also the above method of entering the code for a serial key will not work because its a promo code not a serial key. What store are you directed to when you go to the uplay shop? Contacting Ubisoft might help but its against there terms of agreement to trade Nvidia Promo Codes.

I do want to add that Maneil99 is working to fix the wrong. I don't know how it happened, but I did not receive what was promised. However, now Maneil99/General Hammer is working to right the wrong. He has not given enough to pay for what I gave him, but he is giving back. I received two games so far from him. He is looking a lot less like a scammer and more like a person who made a mistake.

amrasyrf make sure you go to the ubisoft store through the link in the email. I don't know how it works exactly, but there may be a special version of the assassins creed 3 that is part of the nvidia promotion.
