Steamgift key scam?

[sgtcool]

so i bought CSGO about 1 week ago, the steam gift didnt work

("There was a problem redeeming the gift. Please try again later, or contact Steam Support for assistance.")

 

focus on this :                     not that ^^

i got refunded now ,and bought another key and the steamgift link had the sellers email (i think)at the end of "reedemer=" so if i copy paste that it should give the gift to the seller?

and the current key i bought i didnt copy paste the email at the end and now i got it.

usually when i buy steamgifts they dont have anything at the end after "reedemer="

 

any ideas?

 

the seller also didnt know anything or was bluffing, he was giving link on how to activate it (which i clrearly know how)and "i am gonna check steam for you, do not respond" (not exact quote)

Ah the meat and potatoes of shady sites... sadly a lot of those keys are stolen to begin with.

 

I suppose just ask them for a refund and hope they do it.
