    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Gambling] Fake gambling website
    Virtual item type involved: [Steam] Other Community Items

    Accused profile: 76561198314350257

    Victim profile: 76561198087349153

    What happened? Description:
    The user I decided to report has scammed a lot by now and is also managing huge Steam groups which consist of fake giveaways, missleading gambling site promotions and direct scam posts which steal users accounts & their items.

    His main group: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GiftBoxx

    In the following short explanation I will mostly just refer to the first group since the second one is barely being used by him for his shady business. And if he uses it, most announcements are in turkish.

    Examples:
    1. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GiftBoxx#announcements/detail/1692687034004459311
    Advertising in a weird way. Mentioning that everyone gets a free game key for inviting all their friends to their group. As you can see, you can't leave a comment on the description of the post.
    In case the announcement gets deleted, I took a screenshot of it which can be viewed here: https://gyazo.com/60b3f3e8c4ed68ae1b01a91068c4520a

    2. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GiftBoxx#announcements/detail/1692687034004053090
    Once again, an unrealistic promise of "$100 for everyone" which is just a lie to generate subscribers for the linked YouTube channel.

    3. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GiftBoxx#announcements/detail/1692687033990721538
    Another shady money promise for "everyone". This time he is even referring to a shady gambling site, which I didn't click myself
    https://gyazo.com/8458e171da9ab326bfe933e8ded268db


    Besides all those missleading fake posts he also used other accounts to spread directs phishing links in his group and make a lot of money by all the items which were stolen.
    At one point it got to risky for him so he stopped doing that and allowed other scammers to advertise this site to get a payment from them in exchange and be on the "save side".

    All screenshots I managed to take from the phishing link posts can be found here:

    https://gyazo.com/0d8d545140875b936e02b3bd52827fd5
    https://gyazo.com/6759fb484dc5b6c0b58340beca3c2e08

    Those scamposts were deleted immediately afterwards to hide the scam attempt so I can't link them obviously but I managed to take screenshots in time in some of the cases.

    He recently also attempted to sell his group and scammed someone else for about $200 in CS:GO items. The report of him was denied since SteamRep does not deal with selling steam groups but still I wanted to attach this here to support my claim that the user Im reporting deserves this punishment. https://forums.steamrep.com/threads...counter-strike-global-offensive-items.187444/​

    Provide Evidence:
    There is no certain piece of chat log since all of our conversations were held in turkish. Still I uploaded the screenshots I also linked via gyazo as requested.​

    There is absolutely no evidence of any scam here..you basically pced together random screenshots. Other reports are irrelevant to this one and shouldn't be involved or mentioned as they don't pertain to this report which isn't proving anything.
    You didn't show any proof of the user doing anything wrong here therefore this report is rejected.
    Please don't submit reports like this - if you are a victim of a scam against another and have valid proof then ok otherwise this is just empty accusations and assumptions.
    If you wish to report the user to Valve for what they have on their groups/profile then do that.
    Most certainly if anything to do with stealing accounts is involved we do not review hacking/phishing reports here and that absolutely must be reported ONLY to valve..not here.
