What happened? Description:

I had been added repeatedly by people advertising different websites, but I mostly got annoyed and didn't look into them. Then, this person, "Ariel", adds me, and instead of advertising they ask me if I play Team Fortress 2. Ariel then makes a proposal that if I advertise his site, he will pay me. I'm already hesitant, but I decide to look at the site briefly. It's a place to gamble items. Where it said participants it asked me to log in, but I didn't, and after refreshing it showed me who entered the bet. They asked me to pick someone who was in it, and so I chose MMMMWAFFLES. Sure enough, they won a collection of unusuals and items worth multiple keys. Then, Ariel told me that's how I'll be paid, by guaranteed winnings from bets. TF2 Cyber is obviously incredibly rigged, and players are getting scammed badly there. They offered to pay me in advance, but I declined seeing this as completely wrong. I know there is no proof of this happening, but you can ask the player who won what happened. I found four steam accounts with the same name and the profile picture (A waffle) that you could all ask on steam.​
