    What happened? Description:
    Scammer added me, tried to make me join a fake site 'tf2galaxy.com' and go through the process of this scam found here:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/8qlv1h/caution_theres_an_elaborate_new_scam_going_around/
    I stopped him early, but its still evident what his goal is. I threw a bluff later on to see how he'll react, and sure enough, unfriended me and blocked me
    I hope this is enough to stop these idiots.. I've gotten so many recently.​

    Unfortunately, SteamRep no longer as of 5/18/2019 reviews or accept reports dealing with any Fake Gambling site or scam sites - Due to current Investigative Policy

    This includes anything random sites that a user gives you for a chance to win anything. Gambling sites are against Steam TOS also therefore you should avoid these users, delete them, report them to Valve instead as noted below:
