    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Gambling] Fake gambling website
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198272405532

    Victim profile: 76561198356842566

    What happened? Description:
    Tommas randomly added me and asked me if I could help them (what they asked is provided in the screenshot) but they sent me a link to what I assume is a fake gambling site. They probably wanted my TF2 items.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Their profile is 3 years old but they barely has any hours on games and their inventory is private.
    They sent me a link to the site in the screenshot but I didn't click it out of safety.
    I tried to talk more out of them but at the time of writing they still haven't responded.​
