    This guy (joejoenation) was still on my friends list from some small transaction through tf2outpost. So about 2 days ago he offered me to buy in to a raffle for his unusual orbiting fire noir. He said the buy in was 3 keys and there were 5 slots and that he was quitting the game. I found it weird that when I offered to buy the hat for the 15 keys, he said no and that he was only going to do it through raffle. Then, an hour or so ago, he offers me to buy in to another raffle. I found this weird because why did he get another unusual if he was quitting the game, and then I check to see who won the last hat. The owner of the hat he is now raffling is also the guy who supposedly "won" the raffle, AKA it seems they are doing rigged raffles where he is getting people to give him keys and the "winner" is pre-determined and they are simply switching hats back and forth between eachother while scamming people for keys. I also noticed that he has recently bought a gold botkiller knife for about 10 keys so that's probably where the raffle keys went.

    So personally I didn't fall into the trap, but I would like to save other people from falling into it. I have this screenshot that I took a little while ago, i hope this is enough, but if not then we may have to wait until more people get scammed by this next "raffle" he's doing right now.
