    I have been scrolling through my trade offers, and found a strange offer. A user by the name of eSportsPlus143 (steam url: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198364688364), who has an inventory full of low-tier skins (all under $1) has offered me a WW cz-75 tigris, which is a 37 cent skin. The offer is real though, and I can accept it at any time. Along with the offer, it states: "One CoinFlip courtesy of eSportsPlus! Use the FREE item to play here: {LINK REMOVED}" It seems that they are trying a new scam tactic, which consists of giving away free low tier skins, and then baiting the user who received the skin and who believes the site is legit, to go and gamble on their fake site, so they can get hold of their inventories. scamxD.PNG

    This is not a new tactic.
