Hello everyone, today I'll write you some basic tips to avoid scammers.

1) Don't trust someone you don't know: If you don't know person you are trading with, don't do trade, they will try to convince you that they are trust-worthy.

2) Don't go first: If you are planing to do trade with someone you don't know, you will probobably get scammed. See #1.

3) Avoid anyone who rushes you: If anyone tryes to rush you with what are you doing, just avoid them.

4) Don't accept cd-keys from anyone: Sometimes you can get a working key, and they will even go first, but they can always revoke payment, and you will lose your game. Again, see #1.

5) Don't accept game gifts from anyone: Even if it's gift, it can be revoked, and you can lose your game. Stick with trusted people.

6) If deal is too good, it's probably fake: You're not getting $39.99 game for your cheap sale trade games. No, your $39.99 store priced game is not $39.99 after its $7.49 sale. You can compare here https://steamdb.info/ or on your favorite pricing site.

The more trades you do, you will easyer recognize scammer/s, and it will be easyer for you to decide if person is/isn't scammer. The above can and has been broken, because there are always exceptions (even if rare).

Trusted and reputable traders are easy to spot, It's just simple and fast trade with + rep/recommandation from your friends, STICK WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW.

Have a nice trade !
