dude by the name of HEAVY went to trade his buds for a cd key... i got him the key then upon attempting trade he told me all the tf2 items were blacked out and he needed an update.... then needed steam to restart.... he logged off and dissappeared from my friend list. i checked for his steam profile and under his old name HEAVY he is badfps .... has anyone deal with him before? He told me to wait about 20 minutes ago and now i cannot add his profile to my friend list. Not sure how to procede from here whether i should give -rep feedback on his profile or just keep waiting ?

thank you,

Chances are he scammed you, if you can give me a steamcommunity link I'm pretty sure this guy will get banned. However, do you have any proof of this? Any pics?
 
I have this guy on my friends list, yesterday he asked me to put positive rep on his profile for no reason. He has scammed you he changed his name and his profile picture.

well that was my last hope at that point of maybe scarring him into thinking the key would get deleted... i wont put stop to visa cause thats not right on my end, the store issued me a new key; at least i got what i paid for initially... lol nyone need modern warfare 3... live and learn. it a shame there are scammer out there .. make it shitty for the rest of us
