    Only about 2 hours ago i was scammed out of everything i had by a 'friend' that randomly added me.
    He created a fake bot trading website that works like tf2wh in that i trade. I was scammed out of all of my hats and all i have is a bunch of weapons and a horrible memory!

    When i said: %takemyitems the 'bot' would add my items that i added so i thought it was legit. But no after i trade my hats he deletes me and blocks me!

    website name: www DOT tf2storagebank.webs.com i think he has deleted this website so he can strike again.

    I did not take any screenshots as i thought i could trust him!


    Someone help :(

    As much as SR will appreciate your help, it is best to make the report in the proper format for people who have little to no experience gathering this information, wich also prevents multiple threads by the same person;

    Long story short;

    Scammer in question claimed to have a TF2WH like exchange site, wich turned out to be a fake. Once items were given to a fake bot, victim got deleted and blocked from the friendslist of the scammer.

    Can you please provide a screenshot showing the items going to the "bot" in question?

    Best of luck with your report.

    Please go to your STEAM PROFILE, and click INVENTORY, and then the TRADE HISTORY tab, and screenshot the trade in which your items were taken.
