I just wanted to put this information out there, because when I searched for pusada and goldandkey there wasn't enough information for me to foresee this.
I was scammed by goldandkey.com but I believe they got my information through Pusada.com because I did not provide my yahoo ID to anyone else and Pusada was the only site I contacted to sell my wow gold. I have all chat logs and email correspondence saved.

If yes, who?:
Describe how you were scammed: Goldandkey paid me $25 but scammed me out of $100. We agreed on $2.5/1000 gold and I wanted to do the transaction in pieces.
We finally agreed to do it in 2 trades, 10K->$25 then 40K->$100. I was paid $25 so traded the 40K after. And of course, he starts making all kinds of excuses about the $100, and said it'll be sent in 3-5 hours. I made it clear, I will post everywhere if it isn't paid by the next day. Now it's several days later and no payment, of course. I have been posting and spreading the word everywhere I can.

Other proof: This is a part of my email correspondence with pusada and wowgoldfactsguy about the circumstancial evidence of pusada and goldandkey link.
I only gave a yahoo ID in that pusada email that was part of the forwarded correspondence, never to anyone else. In fact I've never even used Yahoo Messenger until just then. I've always had the yahoo ID, but never gave it to anyone else, since I use gmail.
After I logged onto yahoo I got a contact request by goldandkey only. I was on for several more hours afterwards and was never contacted by anyone else.
I've pasted the yahoo conversation at the end. I was a little concerned about it not being pusada in the yahoo chat, and I asked. goldandkey guy did not object, but said his boss worked at pusada and he would go ask. But for the yahoo ID reason I saw no reason to pursue that and just make that other guy do more work and stall everyone for no reason.
goldandkey guy also used very similar policies and key words without my prompt such as "payment in 5 minutes". And what about pusada's use of words like: "You have recently contacted one of our member sites" that suggests other websites can be involved. Also how very suspiciously that email saying "we have noted your IM details" was sent minutes after I was ripped off and the Chinese guy disappears from my Yahoo chat.
