I think I was scammed. (Not sure where to post this)

Not really. The best you can hope for is try to talk him into giving him what you wanted. It's that or attempt to get the money back via Paypal. Chances are slim on both unfortunately.
Try to talk to your main key supplier to chat to the scammer and see if he got the keys from HIM and not someone else with the same name, etc.
Well considering this is his MO, it's highly unlikely you're going to get your items. You can try to re-add him, but I doubt that'll happen.

The only other hope is dependent on how the funds were transferred in paypal. If they were pulled from a bank then the bank may be able to help out, but if they were funds added to paypal you're pretty much SOL. Just read that gifts won't really be entertained as a dispute.
Pretty much, but that's what SR is for. If you had checked that first you wouldn't have traded with him in the first place.

Not 100% guarantee since he marked it as a gift.
When you mark things as gifts, there is an implication that you do not intend to receive anything in return. He would have to provide pretty definitive and hefty information to get the transaction reversed. As in basically the guy would have to admit in writing that he never intended to give the items purchased. As far as paypal's concerned, the guy could be preparing the delivery of said items.
Never hurts to try, but I wouldn't expect the money back.

Always take precautions. Tell them you're going to video tape the transactions. They go first unless they have lots of rep and you can trust them. Tell them to link their steamrep also.
No
Just look up their account yourself, since there are fake SR they can link you to and you would have really hard time telling if it's fake.

Thanks all, I do have screenshots 5 actually (the entire conversation). I also put the scammer's name in the chargeback.. and it seems as if I might be able to get my cash back.
EDIT: The way he phrased everything, the moron even put the message I put in for the payment about "buying 83 keys etc." and it clearly shows in my trade history nothing was received anywhere near the time this scam happened.

well just by reading what you have told about the scam and doing a little back work on finding info. steam has clearly stated that they do not support pay pal trades and paypal has also said that they would not try to get your money back from just a screen shot. they need hard proof. all i can tell you is its just best to forget and move on and not let it drag you down. just get back to that hat simulator and show him you can get your items that you want when you want them.
