I gave him a $10 Steam game he said he wanted, and then I ask for my key. He says hold on, so I wait. 20 min later I ask him if theres an issue and he says when he tries to register it the site says the key is "out of date." He says hes going to go post on the forums about it, says BRB and then goes offline. Then the bastard changes his name to "Loltrollloltroll" and deletes me.

A tip if you are going to buy something. Do not buy a beta key. People don't have beta keys because they registered their account with a random beta key. If you are going to buy from someone be sure to buy their accounts and not a beta key which you can only get from one of the devs.

No offense but if you actually fell for that then it's your own damn fault. Welcome to the internet.

Don't worry darling. Anybody with the word "Troll" in their name automatically goes to the 9th circle of Hell.

[NoobSauce]

Why are you trading games for an unfinished piece of shit.

Seriously

Whats wrong with you people

Just fucking wait

[mobrockers]

[Biggyhoo]

This was your own fault.

Contact steam, send a report and profit! Seriously though it is fraud. I have learned some hard lessons from doing shit like this...

Lolno, that'll do nothing. Steam doesn't support outside-steam trading, in their eyes he just gave a game away for free, that's his own problem.

fail.

Update: I filed a scam report with Steam Support and hopefully something gets done. I knew it was too good to be true for someone selling JUST keys

Tis your own fault OP, but if you're lucky you can get your games refunded/etc though, Steam support seem to be overly nice like that every now and then (in my experience atleast) if you just submit a ticket about it, explaining in detail what happened.
Even though it makes it less likely when you mention that it was for a game key outside of Steam, it's worth it if you want those 20 dollars back or whatever the amount

[GradionFox]

It's just as stupid as anyone falling for the postthatcatgetbetakey stuff, no offence.
Just wait for it to actually be released.

You're not gonna get anything, sorry but it's true. They MAY ban him, but I doubt you'll get your games back.

why would you pay that much for an unfinished alpha test?

Edited:

i mean its a fun game but for the meantime its not worth that price

[meppers]

Reading the rust forum is more fun than playing the game itself

Hell, why pay for an unfinished alpha test to begin with?

You should have posted his steam profile so we can post homophobic slurs on it and talk about the sexual activities of his mother.
