    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Gambling] Fake gambling website
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198212337740

    Victim profile: 76561198048907098

    What happened? Description:
    (This is my first report so hopefully I am providing everything I need to in a report fitting for this forum.)

    A while back a person randomly added me. In spite of his VAC ban and the suspicious lack of hours or any kind of significant inventory, I added him.

    He had in the past messaged me a couple times but never when I had to the time to respond, and I have no record of the previous attempts to talk to me. Today, however, he did try to reach out to me.

    As can be seen in the chat log, he tried to direct me to a gambling site, claiming he had been banned but somehow had a fixed amount of time to move "coins" over to another account. I asked for the site's name, and was not surprised to find myself at the front page of a fake CS:GO gambling site. I don't even play CS:GO, but in my research I found a steam community thread about the site. I admittedly did make a couple less-than-upstanding jabs at the person, but they are immaterial and only included as a show of transparency. He went offline but strangely enough did not block or unfriend me.​

    Provide Evidence:



    If any further evidence or information is required I am willing to do my best to provide what is necessary.​
