SteamRep trusted Middleman maned - scammed me for 200$ skins

[superbuzZ]

I tought SteamRep is a legit page which I can trust. But a "trusted Middleman" named G4
(http://steamrep.com/list/-) scammed me with unfair tricks. How is that even possible if Steam it self tells to check on steamrep.com if a trader is trustfull or not? What can I do to get my Items back?

Where did you see this? Steamrep is a third-party website, they aren't related to Steam at all.

The trading policy says not to use a middleman. Just trade directly with the person you want to exchange items with. All trades are final, Valve doesn't return scammed items. Also you aren't allowed to name scammers here, all you can do is report him from his profile so he gets trade banned.

Avoid using middlemen

Middlemen should not be needed if you are trading within the system. A middleman can scam you by impersonating another trader, working with a scammer or keeping any item that you give to them.

Steam does NOT tell you anywhere to use steamrep.com
But Steam tells you NOT to trade outside of the trading window.

How can we tell if he scammed you, and not the other way around? Maybe you scammed him?
Go on their website and create a forum topic there.

Besides, so-called middlemen are unnecessary and untrustworthy to begin with.

Valve and Steam are registered trademarks of Valve Corporation.

SteamRep is hosted by the non-profit Online Fraud Prevention Foundation.

And is not affiliated with Valve in any way.

Well, start with editing out his info in your topic.

Nobody here can tell who scammed who, so all you currently do is name & shame. Start a topic on steamrep.com,... with evidence.

Edit: maybe check your past trades, you most likely traded with an impersonator, not the real person.

i cheack it and yes it was he - the trusted middleman from steamrep.com

[just.kamk /idle]

Check again, via trade history. Pretty sure it wasn't him.

Nevertheless, do it on steamrep.com, not here. What if i just say you scammed me? Hope you see where this is going...

SteamRep trusted Middleman

There are no 'trusted middlemen'

Such things are not necessary

Another person who didn't either read the scam section or couldn't be bothered.

Tell me, are you one of those who complained about the new trading policies and the use of the Steam Authenticator, as well.

Steam warms is time and time again about scams and third part websites and people still complain when theu ignorie that advice.

A definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

This is a first step, good thing you did it.

As you can see it wasn't the real user, but some (rather bad) impersonator.

LOL the lazy scammer put the 1 at the end of the custom URL, and not as the "L"
