Best case scenario you are buying a key that someone bought in a cheaper region and is selling it in a more expensive region.
Worst case, your financial details or login are stolen.
Most likely case, you're buying a key that was either bought with stolen cards or a key that was directly stolen.
In any case the developer of the game can revoke a key for being obtained fraudulently, and since any keys bought with stolen funds are susceptible to a charge back fee and thus cost them money many would just prefer you pirate (since that costs them nothing).
