    Description:This guy added me to offer on my unusual, a bubbling Kabuto if that really matters (Link to the trade here http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/4662789). His inventory only had 20 or so items in it, so I assumed it was an alt. Then he gave me a link to "offer" on my unusual, when he couldn't just simply word out the offer like I asked him to. The link he gave me looks extremely sketchy and I don't know why he would even give a link to offer unless it would give you some kind of virus/trojan whatever you would call it. After he deleted me he set his profile to private.

    And this is my first time posting here, so if I posted this in the wrong place just say so and I'll move it?

    I don't think clicking links can affect your computer, but there's surely been reports of people clicking links and forcefully giving someone their high-valued items.

    He might be a scammer alt because he has his unusuals and stuff on another account.
  3. I'm pretty sure ImageCloud is for images, but meh. Most things really can't hurt you.

    The link said imagecloud[BREAK]net19[BREAK]net. The "net19" in between "imagecloud" and "net" means it's a fake site. I believe Edy is right, there's no reason that you'd need an image to send an offer. An obvious attempt at hijacking in my opinion.

    I was at a library CPU looking at the site you were sent edy, I believe the site isn't the harmful thing, but it requires a "java" (Iv'e seen phishing/virus sites like this before) update, even though the CPU clearly had the most up to date software. So I think the virus is camouflaged as the update. Plus the whole Idea of the image offering is preposterous. P.S I might be wrong :D
