Also be sure to check that the user you are buying games off of is clean (steamrep and so on) and has an account older than 2 years, anything younger will most likely be a revoked gift.

Lots of people get banned / create support tickets and there's not that many admins to respond. Be patient and wait it out.

I'd look into why a person was banned before you go buying something with a red named history. It is pretty common for those with the red names to be scammers, even if not all of them are.

Am I safe, If I buy it from someone who isnt a scammer, but the items history has had scammers? Thats really all I want to know.

So long as you arent buying from a marked scammer you're good.

It's a shame because the accounts are so obvious. Just look at these

Those games will be gone within a matter of weeks.

Then report them on the site, instead of pointung them out here.

Red names on the site means that user is banned, it has nothing to do with the item being duped.

That's fine, but why do people view me as a phisher simply for having my comments "for friends only"? That's literally all I have on right now, but it still seems like I get blocked. *Confused*

Some users just block when they get random adds, phser or not. Just leave comments on their trades on what you are offering.

Why do you think we care your friend list?

Bots can add users and scrub their friendslist, adding them in the process

A lot of people dont accept random adds from users with private profiles. Its because of the phser bots that add users and message them with psh links. If you do want to give offers on items id suggest leaving a comment on the users trade saying youre adding them / what you are offering.

On a side note users with private profiles will be banned on the site, giving people even more reason to block you.

Most likely a bot, if you didnt click a link or download anything suspicious, you'll be fine.
