Do they like the money that much? Oh...what a rhetorical question. ;)

amrit9037: They do ban some accounts.
Just contact support with evidence
The evidence is right here on this thread. Surely this blatant, pointless, argumentative, and childish trolling isn't tolerated?

Thesen: Slightly off topic, but a very big thank you to the person (people) that created the information regarding scammers. As this is my first ever trade I was messaged by someone (within minutes of my post above) on the gogwiki list of known scammers.

I was a second away for exchanging my keys and providing my email address for another game to be gifted to me.

Much appreciated.

HypersomniacLive: Sounds like you dodged a bullet there.
Could you please, share the name of that user, and post a screenshot of your exchange with them? Thanks.

hlmr1349: I was just contacted by "Schizo2o15" for a trade - instead of the real "Schizo2015". A scammer, so beware if you're contacted by SCHIZO2015 and check first, which one it is!

HypersomniacLive: Would you mind attaching a screenshot of your exchange with them to your post?

PasteurisedChrome: Beware of user SCHIZO2O15

I am pretty sure this guy is a scammer or a complete idiot if not.

Edit: OK, the stupid but probably innocent account was SCHIZO2015 the scammer is SCHIZO2O15 ('O' not zero).

He offered me Ethereal Lords 1+2 Indie Steam codes for Eternal Lords, when I was asking for GOG codes only anyway a couple of days ago; not withstanding the fact that they're completely different games anyway!

So, I added him to my blocklist on chat.

Today, somehow or other he managed to bypass the blocklist ban and send me another chat saying he wanted about 5 of my STEAM gifts for Age of Wonders 3, then proceeds to give me an e-mail address where to send them!

When I said, I was only offering ONE Gift, he then says he will offer Grim Dawn as well, LOL.

After saying I ONLY want an Age of Wonders 3 code, he wants me to send the gifts to 'see if they have expired' first!

I'm sure you can smell the BS a mile away here?

HypersomniacLive: Could you, please, also attach a screenshot to your post? Thanks.
Hi, I'm a dumbass. I blocked and cleared the conversation but the users name is V0NYER. A zero instead of the capital letter O. The conversation was to send my two keys on chat along with my email address. He would then mail me a gift for the new Van Helsing. (Spelunky + Gabriel Knight 3 for this more expensive new game was the first red flag). I then googled his name and found the GOG wiki. Next time I will save conversations and post screenshots.

I've already said all that was needed to be said about the slandering tactics and false accusations of the self-confessed scammer. Here, let me repeat it, perhaps the message will get through this time:
Looks like there's a bit too much competition among the scammers, and some (one?) can't handle constantly being outed and put on the Scammers list; the poor attempt to silence us/me through endless whining and slandering really doesn't come as a surprise.
All hail the self-confessed scammer for he has done a most selfless act and our community a great service busting the other scammers.
Bow GOG community before your saviour, and express your gratitude by letting him roam and scam you freely; is all he seems to expect from us now.
Anyone with a little sense can judge for themselves what and why he's doing what he's doing; all it takes is to read his posts.

On a side note - it's hilarious how the self-confessed scammer goes around falsely accusing others of being alt accounts of the same person, only to admit that he's using alt accounts himself. Not that this comes as a surprise either, it's the signature M.O. of scammers here.
Thanks hlmr1349 for a smooth trade!

tinyE: He's a charmer, isn't he? :D
Yes, more so in the PM he sent me recently, if that's even possible.
Of course, he cowardly used a different alt account. Because that really really, really, means that it's not him.

That is maybe because you blocked the wrong user? Schizo2015 (the real one) still is blocked even though like you already said he's innocent.

PasteurisedChrome: Are GOG like Steam in that they NEVER outright BAN accounts?!
LOL! Steam has banned countless accounts so far. That is ONE (of many) reasons I like GOG much more.

Yes, the real Schizo2015 is blocked because he offered me Ethereal 1+2 worthless Bundlestars STEAM keys, when I was asking for Eternal Lords GOG ONLY. I don't think I will be getting any sense out of that guy, sorry.

I realised soon afterwards, that the scammer used a different spelling for his alt.

Steam scammers are reported ad infinitum on Steam and they still operate months after that with no effect whatsoever.

SteamRep are completely useless too. The mods there don't even bother to read the reports properly half the time. It can still be a useful site to see unconfirmed reports though. But Steamrep BANNED users still operate on Steam with free rein. It's a complete farce.

I have to continually 'prune' my 'friend' list on Steam because of this situation. You get people adding you who have SteamRep BANNED friends on their lists, and before long you have a friend list that looks like a scammers' friends of friends list before long. ;)

Another bump

I can trade for items on your Steam wishlist of similar value. I have credit there, but no other budget for games at the moment.

Ah, I thought it was a misunderstanding and that you never even blocked the scammer. Just FYI however the real Schizo2015 has difficutlies with the English language so he might just misunderstood what you wanted at all.

That is funny. If you are an honorable user on steam and use vpn or similar your account could be completely banned (at least I heard of such things many times). They do have strange priorities on steam.
Hi again. I've managed to collate all my unredeemed game keys. I've put it into a spreadsheet on google sheets but this forum does not allow me to post links. Is there another way to let you guys look at my list?
