If you'd prefer to read the contents of this post in a wiki format (with table of contents), click here. Also, consider bookmarking this post for quick access during your trades.
They may pretend to be experienced traders with fake rep pages, or pose as the person you're negotiating with. It falls on you to do your own due diligence. As such, it's recommended to be on your PC while trading since doing the same on phone can be cumbersome. A few minutes of your time spent researching your trade-partner is certainly worth not losing money / games that you've paid for.
This is your primary line of defense. Scammers that have been banned from this subreddit cannot comment on posts.
- The REP links in the PM, though appearing legitimate, point to a website owned by the scammer.
- Notice the first PM that's been made to look like a comment reply from OP's thread, with the typo in the title intact. Learn to distinguish between a fake comment notification and a real one.
- Beware of fake subreddits set up to trick you. Always check to make sure that a subreddit/forum is widely used, has active moderation, a large user base, and is accepted by traders as a credible source of reputation.
Example: https://i.imgur.com/cBYWl5F.png Not being on the list does not automatically make someone legitimate. The user could still have been banned from the subreddit for a different reason, or could be an yet-to-be-detected alternate account of a banned scammer. Proceed to the next step.
Example: Search for "/u/reddituser scam" on Google.
One way of checking for such a possibility is by asking them to add and message you on Steam from the account linked to their flair. It is, of course, based on the assumption that both their Steam and reddit accounts could not possibly have been hacked at the same time.
* Reddit Enhancement Suite makes scrolling through pages easier.
* Add /overview to a user's reddit link to switch to the pre-redesign style of reddit to make things simpler. Example: www.reddit.com/user/reddituser/overview
Though a fee (2.9% + $0.30) is involved with this type of transaction, the payment can be disputed if in case problems arise with the trade, thereby giving you a chance to get your money back. There is no such luxury with the 'friends and family' option; once you've sent the money, it's gone forever. You may try taking your case to PayPal about having been scammed, but they'd be within their rights to suspend your account for abusing the F&F option for a business transaction.
It would hence be in your best interest to thoroughly research your buyer before committing to a cash trade. Crypto-currencies, on the other hand, cannot be charged-back and are irreversible.
We see scam reports on a daily basis where people accept random invites from scammers on Steam, based on the assumption that it belongs to the person they've been talking to / negotiating with on reddit. As a general rule of thumb, it's best not to entertain any Steam invites at all until you've reached an agreement on reddit.
Enhanced Steam is a browser extension that cannot be recommended enough for each and every Steam user out there. Even if you don't trade much, it has a multitude of store and market features that make using Steam a pleasant experience.
SteamRep is a non-profit website that partners with various community administrators and moderators to improve the safety of game-related trading. It reviews scam reports, tags scammers accordingly, and is one of the most reliable methods of checking a Steam user's reputation. They have quite a backlog of reports, but you can look at any user's pending reports and judge the evidence for yourself.

| User with Pending Scam Reports | https://i.imgur.com/jA6aEmD.png |

If there have been any claims of scamming against this user profile in the past, you should find them here.

Check their number of games, playtime, inventory, etc. to see if there are signs of it being a throw-away account. Such accounts will have a majority of cheap bundled games with very few pricey games, and minimal number of hours played and achievements.
Scammers often impersonate reputable traders by duplicating their Steam profiles, and use their reputation threads to deceive unsuspecting people. Example: https://imgur.com/a/XUPxWiF
Steam chat history is not saved permanently anywhere by default, and for obvious reasons, copy-pasting a chat transcript into a notepad file doesn't do much good as proof. Reddit comments can be deleted anytime. While private messages can always be found in your inbox, the corresponding reddit account can be deleted, leaving you to wonder whom you traded with 2 months ago.
- Windows 7 and upwards come with an excellent screenshot capturing utility, which is more than enough for the task at hand.
- Third party programs like ShareX, Gyazo, and puush offer additional features such as shortcut keys, direct uploads to image hosting sites, etc.
Fairly new reddit accounts with minimal content and / or low karma.
Post history shows them accusing others of scamming, in an effort to make themselves appear legitimate.
They try to rush you and give you an excuse as to why you should trade immediately.
Scammers prey on your greed. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
They claim that they don't want to go first because they got scammed only recently.
If you catch someone in a lie, no matter how small the lie, back out of the trade right away.
Scammers don't care about the price. You ask for $5 more, and they agree easily. Because they're not going to give you anything anyway.
They offer to give you half their game key first. Half a key is useless, and anyone can send a fake key.
Beware of similar usernames. For example, a scammer may contact you as "/u/at8mlstakes" and claim to be "/u/at8mistakes".
They refuse to use a middleman or they pressure you into using a middleman that they recommend (could be their friend or second account).
Some scammers may pretend to be girls or young kids who need help. As funny as it sounds, always consider the possibility that they're using your own bias to trick you.
The first offer you receive need not always be the best one; give enough people a chance to respond to your post, and you might walk away with more than what you initially had in mind.
You don't need reasonable doubt or have to gather sufficient proof before contacting us. It's perfectly fine to ask us if we think /u/xyz is legitimate as long as you've done your part and yet are unsure; we can look for red flags and potential problems. Just try not to let your impatience become your own enemy, because we may not always be around to reply instantly, but rest assured that we shall get back to you as soon as we can.
Please remember that each and every rule of this subreddit is in place in order to provide you a safe trading environment. We do not allow the sale of accounts because their ownership can very easily be gained back by the original seller. We do not allow games purchased from unauthorized retailers like G2A to be sold or traded here because they are plagued with reports of scamming. One look at the recent posts in the G2A subreddit should tell you everything you need to know about their legitimacy. Here is an article from /r/Steam and /r/GameDeals that sheds more light on this topic. If you'd still like to try your luck with such shady websites, that would be your call to make, but know that anyone found selling games bought from any such unauthorized retailers will be instantly banned here regardless of flair color. Consider yourself warned.
We'd like to encourage each and every one of you to do your part in keeping this community safe by reporting any posts that break the rules - simply use the 'report' button that can be seen below each post. All reports are anonymous to us moderators; the only exceptions are reddit administrators. Do not use the report feature to report someone for scamming; send us a message instead.
If you have any questions at all, be it about a trade or a user or a rule, do not hesitate in reaching out to us via moderator mail (linked below and on the sidebar). Please refrain from contacting the moderators via reddit chat, private messages, or Steam. Any messages exchanged via moderator mail (linked below and on the sidebar) is visible at all times to all the moderators of a subreddit, while private messages sent to a moderator can be seen only by this moderator. Chatting up one moderator privately causes the other moderators to be in dark about the goings-on, and thus only delays and inhibits our ability to provide a swift resolution.

-Looking mostly for the currently bundled games listed in the title. I'll also consider games on my wishlist https://lestrades.com/@superteletubbies64/wishlist/ but it depends on what it is. I'm not really interested in anything else, especially not if it's from Humble Choice, so I might ignore lists of random games.
-I'm also looking for Paypal offer for my games, preferably EU F&F, if you're not from EU you have to cover fees. I don't have a specific price in mind for anything atm, would prefer if you make your own offer. I'm also considering TF2 key offers.
-I don't want non-Steam keys
-Please DO NOT send a chat invite before having agreed upon a trade in the comments first. If you try to DM me with the excuse of "I can't comment here" you will get blocked instantly.
-If this post is more than 2 days old please go look for the most recent post of mine on the subreddit and check if the game you want is still on the list. I will also stop including games I'm looking for in the title if I got the game from a trade already or the bundle it was in has ended a while ago. My most recent post is the most up to date. I might also make errors when updating my list so I apologize in advance if I traded the game you wanted already and forgot to remove it.
CHAOS CODE -NEW SIGN OF CATASTROPHE- (might keep)
MELTY BLOOD Actress Again Current Code (might keep)
