Is this steam key pack a scam?

[petz]

I have bought from g-2-a before and got the keys almost instanlty without any problems and redeemed them without any problems at all, but i was browsing on the site and found "Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack Extended Steam Key GLOBAL" For only 58 dollars. i then clicked on it and then it said it was 128 dollars. I was confused for a minute and then found out that you can choose from different sellers. I then clicked the seller that sold it for 58 dollars called "Games4friends" with an 96% Positive feedback and 55 different items.


So now im wondering if this is a scam or not. It says the pack includes: GTA, GTA II, GTA III, GTA: VC, GTA: SA, GTA IV, GTA: EFLC.


Seems like a very good deal right? Since gta 1 and 2 are very rare on steam. Please can anyone tell me?

I haven't bought the pack yet im wondering if its just a real deal and no scam.

Yes, you likely got scammed.
The fact that you could not type in the name of the site you bought from because Steam auto-filters it out due to it being a known scam or possible phishing site should have been a clue. Sometimes you get good keys there, sometimes you buy from a scammer who never delivers your keys, or gives you already-redeemed keys, or keys they got using a stolen CC (so... fraud), or keys to totally different games than what you thought you paid for, or keys that end up getting revoked by the devs or publishers because they are stolen or illegitimately generated keys.

You know that old saying "If it seems too good to be true- it probably isn't true."?

Yeah... That saying applies.

Thank you, the thing is it says 96% reviews from that person. Are those just botted reviews?

Also do you know any "Real" websites where you can buy steam keys (Especially gta 1 and gta 2)

The sites listed on isthereanydeal.com are legit. Whether any of them have the keys you are looking for is not something I can tell you.

And review scores are one of the easiest things to manipulate and/or fake- on any website or online service. If you are trusting review scores on that site or any other... the saying I told you before applies, still.
Unless you think that a 97% positive review score on this game means it is an amazing game- GOTY, even!

*smh*

BTW 96% positive rating is terrible for a seller on those sites, the more sales they have the worse it is.
I stopped using those greyzone key reseller many years ago because they are so scummy but when i still bought there i never used a seller under 99%+ positive ratings.
Because to get negative ratings you really need to mess up , deliver non working or wrong keys and not provide a replacement.

96% positive means in 4% of sales at least buyers did get non working or wrong keys.
Would be way too high for my taste, especially if you plan on spending 60 bucks.

If what you want is GTA 1 and 2, purchasing the PS1 versions and emulating them might be a better idea. Take a look at ebay.

Thank you for that, I completely forgot about that! I will use that to download them.

Well, now I can play those games but I also want to collect them on steam.
