Victim profile: 76561198066775323

What happened? Description:

Fake trader profile (Private inventory with Backpack.tf link leading to different profile) added me and offered 16 keys for my Australium Flamethrower, wanted to verify it was legit with a third party who sent a link in a group chat, fairly certain if I clicked the link I would have either A) Been greeted with a trade offer page which I was supposed to put my Flamethrower into for "verification" and when it was accepted the two would vanish into thin air with my Flamethrower in tow or B) a website that was made to steal my information.​
