Arma 3 Removed From Account
A month or two ago I purchased a steam gift copy of Arma 3 from {LINK REMOVED} and today I received a notification that the game was removed from my account due to payment not going through yet I never received my money back. So I had g2a shield when I bought it and I tried to go there to figure out whats up but I can't because g2a has banned the account I bought games with, and the account I made to find out why my first account was banned. None of the other games I have purchased from g2a have been refunded and i'm out of ideas on how to either get my game or my money back. I think what happened is the guy who g2a sold the game to me through might of been banned and it messed with me hat way. His steam username is "Mikailolol". I would really appreciate any help someone can give me.

You bought from a website that's well known for scamming people and you got scammed. This isn't remotely surprising.

The best advice is t osuck it up. That's why you shouldn't buy from the grey market. All is swell and dandy until it isn't.

If you paid with CC and your account is banned anyway, just to a chargeback or otherwise contest the withdrawal. Doesn't sound like you have something to lose on them.

Thats why you don't buy from websites with a very easy to discover history of shadyness.
You should contact their support, i'm not sure theres much more you can do.

and yet another user learns an obvious lesson. if steam takes the trouble to censor out the sites name. CHances arem, it's a bad site.

Pretty much take it up to the vendor.

Selling Steam gifts isn't allowed, so anyone who does isn't legit.

What happend, you got scammed (like so many has been before you), that is what you risk when buying from dodgy not legit keyresellersites.

Your money is lost, if you can't get the site to refund you, nothing Valve or any of us users can do to help you.
Take it as a lesson, and remember to only buy games from legit sites in the future.

best way to tel if it's legit. If steam censors the name. It's not legit.
