I got scammed

[KillerCop311]

I got scammed in a trade today.
Happened on the steamtrades forums, my offer was 5 keys for Audiosurf 2. Someone talked to me, and he said it was a CD key. I was suspicious at first, but he has a lot of rep, so I accepted. However, after I gave him the 5 keys and waited for the CD key, he went online and offline multiple times. The last time he went offline, he was gone.

His Steamrep info is:

Here's some proof too:

Chat.


Trade history.

Please, be serious about this. I don't want any jokes or funny things, because it took me a while to get those keys and he took them.

They don't care on steamrep, they don't investigate those cases. They just told me to create a ticket on Steam Support, but what are they gonna do?

If anyone wants to be nice though, I really would like my five keys back or Audiosurf 2.

You live and learn, don't make the same mistake I did.

Damn, thanks for making me remember that

How do you even get an Audiosurf 2 key..? lol

The only place I can find it is the steam store.

[Alternat¡ve]

u got played man, nothin else to say.

steam cant do anything about it.

[Jairo]

why didn't you just sell the keys on market and buy audiosurf 2?

[Choi]

Also, where would he get a key?

Rule of the trade: Never accept anything unless you get the goods at the same time, or before the other person does.

[Khorde]

why would you ever do a trade with someone you dont know with sketch ass goods?

much like paypal trading, all you have to do is ask for the key FIRST, and then give him the keys.

if they decline, then find someone else.

I once made the dumb mistake of opening a crate 50 (or so, I didn't trade AT ALL at the time). I bought the key with my own money. I got an item worth 6 keys, so I didn't know. I traded it
for a loving
Sticky Jumper or whatever

>not being a smart trader and getting the key first

[Chrono]

Can't get the key first because Audiosurf 2 keys don't exist.

You should have listened to the person below.

stop being an idiot

[Gum]

This is why I never trade.

you cant send a steam ticket. they dont help you with trades outside of steam, so you lost your 5 keys. all you can do is report him and file a report on steamrep.
