    Description: Was on a trade server when someone going by the then name of Strange Festive Weapon Raffle (15/20) was holding a Bill's Hat raffle for a refined buy in. Didn't really think too much about it since most raffles I've been in were legitimately run by clans and what not. Bought in like an idiot and of course he left the server.

    Had his Steam ID due to sheer luck, followed him and of course he's running another raffle. I call him out and accuse him of running a phony Bills hat raffle. He says he's NEVER run a Bills Hat raffle. The above screenshot shows his name history and how he was in fact running one at some point.

    So after some more persuading and evidence I get back my refined buy in. He's since set his profile and backpack to private and is surely running around still doing this.

    tl;dr
    Fell for a Bills hat raffle. Followed him, confronted him with his name history and witnesses to the scam, got my refined buy in back. Just want to stop this guy from scamming anybody else.

    Not great proof, just 3 guys calling a person a scammer.

    You missed the first part though where he claimed to have never run a bills hat raffle when his name history clearly says differently. While it's still not strong evidence all you gotta do is follow this guy and he'll be doing a raffle of some sort.

    I agree with polyvore, not enough to really act on. There have been a bunch of people trying to run so called "Raffles" and to be honest you really shouldn't get involved with them unless its server side run (Administrator Controlled) as it seems way too easy to grab and run. You got your items back - I'll write the ID down for future reference, strike it up to a learning experience for all.

    Do you have screenshot evidence of your chat? Otherwise it's just your word, unfortunately.
