    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198360341741

    Victim profile: 76561198201645150

    What happened? Description:
    He asks me to withdraw him some items, claiming he has $130 worth of points / coins on a gambling website called csgoatse. He then tells me that cs-go items have a trade-ban on them (which they of course do for a bit.) And tells me to give him a few tf2 items to put into this site so he can withdraw his items. It's a pretty obvious scam, since he's literally been reported on here before for the same thing, literally took me a quick steam-rep search.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Full chat proof.

    @cherry. You do realize this user is already banned/tagged here for the same offense?
    Nothing more we can do to them.
    Although same thing - this report is invalid due to change in policy.
    Check users out better next time - if they are already tagged/banned here just ignore/delete or not even add them infact.

    Unfortunately, SteamRep no longer as of 5/18/2019 reviews or accept reports dealing with any Fake Gambling site or scam sites - Due to current Investigative Policy

    This includes anything random sites that a user gives you for a chance to win anything. Gambling sites are against Steam TOS also therefore you should avoid these users, delete them, report them to Valve instead as noted below:

    You can report the user to Valve instead
    In order to do that, you have to:
