    New low in scamming. These people are impersonating being affiliated with http://backpack.tf to receive donations to be able to participate in some giveaways or gain "secret" information. They're being asked to spam-invite their friends for "free" entries in the giveaway, which is only a venue to get more people to join and hope to get some "donations" from unsuspecting victims.

    These are the current admins/moderators of the group:

    Hopefully this is enough. I wasn't sure what to do with this one in all honesty. It didn't seem too harmful originally, but when I saw the donation stuff it made me cringe.

    I never knew anything about this i just wanted to help the group, I'm only a moderator and i never took any items from anyone.

    I apologize for this and i honestly never knew about this i only talked to golden knight once when i asked him i i could help out

    Please could i be unmarked as a scammer and i had no idea about this, If needs be i can provide trade history,

    Hello There, Sorry for the inconvience.
    The admin Golden Knight tricked me into thinking we where allowed to to this, but since we are not i have refunded all the donations i accepted and i am now leaving the group for good, I would like to be unmarked as i had no idea about this and did never impersonate being a backpack.tf admin. I was just trying to get some giveaway/Raffles or what you call them going, to get some giveaways to players in the tf2 community.

    So yea this is my apologize to all the people who where affected by this, This was a big mistake on my part and i shalt never do this again. So please unmark me as a scammer as i had no idea about this, You could add me on steam to talk this trough in a civilized and adult manner
