    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Gambling] Fake gambling website
    Virtual item type involved: [None] No items

    Accused profile: 76561198038680931

    Victim profile: 76561198081788609

    What happened? Description:
    I got a "sponsored post" message on my profile comments advertising TradeSkinsNow.net - a supposed trading website that I have never heard of and that cannot be found via Google search. I assume they wanted me to click on a link on their profile (now removed) to get to a fake trading site and get rid of my cs:go items (the message mentions cs money.)

    Searching TradeSkinsNow.net on Google won't give any results for a trading site; instead it gives you a massive amount of Steam community pages with similar posts from more accounts. Some comment sections even had multiple TradeSkinsNow.net bots on them from different accounts (one was even calling themselves an erotic female streamer... yuck.)

    Maybe this will achieve something, maybe it will not... I just feel like I'm doing the right thing for posting this info here.

    If I'm doing something wrong feel free to let me know.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Attached images:

    - screenshot of the scammer posting on my profile (still visible there - I will not delete it before I get a response from you guys.)
    - screenshot(s) of the scammer's profile & name history
    - screenshot of a Google search (that only results more of these messages)
    - screenshot of a different profile with TWO different scammer accounts (they still have the same name and logo.)

    If this helps... good. If it doesn't, well, so be it. I hope I can do better next time.​

    Unfortunately, SteamRep does not accept reports dealing with hijacking/phishing/hacking -Due to current Investigative Policy
