I won't name the trader because I'm not sure if he's a scammer but his profile is very suspicious or bizarre - can't decide.
So, it says he joined in September this year and he completed 3 trades - but no feedback whatsoever. Not positive or negative.
Steam link on his profile leads to the nonexistent profile page.
His forum profile says he joined in 2019 (?) and he has 13 points, BUT no messages or reactions (although among those 13 pts is an achievement for the first posted message)...

I know the user you are talking about, but I believe the trade feedback he/she is missing is from games purchased on Indiegala.
Usually, when you trade a game owned on Indiegala it will count towards your trade history but you won't receive any feedback for it.
Sometimes scammers will use this method to artificially boost their trades along with alt accounts so be careful.

Uhhh, why would they do that? Scammers generally like to get stuff for free. This approach would require actually buying stuff from IndieGala to trade to their alt accounts. It's much easier for them to just trade non-guaranteed totally fake keys amongst their alts for rep boosting.

True, but if you get a cheap bundle off Indiegala and trade it between alt accounts without ever activating the game, you can inflate your trade numbers. That sometimes happens with these scammers but remember they are not geniuses. 😂

You're probably right but that doesn't explain why the link in his profile leads to the nonexistent Steam page or why his forum profile shows 13 points, but no messages. I mean, I have 3 points for my 12 messages.

The Scammer is still active. Indiegala hasn't banned the guy yet. Made new false feedbacks...ready to find the next victim.

The strangest thing is to see experienced users being deceived.

It's sad to see a tool like Indiegala Trades available to Scammers.

And all suggestions in this thread... ignored by Indiegala.

How many new accounts do you think this guy's gonna make? I just hit accept because I thought his username was one that I recognized, and I'm getting 404 pages on all profiles right now. But yeah - scammer. Leaving keys like this - TOMIT-ONARI-GONZA

I doubt it'll be fixed. I think this is a "new look" of IG because even before you couldn't see detailed profiles unless you changed the HTTP address.

I presume this is the same scammer as before:

They're using the same methodology of copying a reputable trader's name & avatar, & linking to that person's wishlist, while offering up high-demand yet plausible games for trade.

Do not make any offers on these trades:

I have received a duplicate key. It would be nice to be able to see who the transaction was with, but I can’t find it. Makes it easier for people to scam one.

i have taken the game they won and activated it on another account. Means I will get a negative rating from them, but at least they don’t get the game.

IG is doing so many mistakes that, if you are among those believing in conspiracies, you would believe they're in league with the scammers.

It would be good if you would see with who you traded for (also their reputation and from who they've got that)
And possibly IG to fix the actual problem where you can't see the profile of a person who is offering on your game

Ban him immediately


thousand times its written here there is no key for ascent or hidden and unknown or cur3d outside the steam

because they are not stopped level 8 - 9 - 10 is swarmed by these scammers

he opens hundereds of nicks and wins his own giveaways

classic tactic

how can you trust indiegala and buy games when they tolerate scam
