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

    Victim profile: 76561198327837250

    What happened? Description:
    It is very very very long story. It was looking so legit but it was a scam.

    One day my friend told me about a gambling site called "TF2.BET" , since he was my friend who I trusted I went on this site - I logged in and everything was good,not a phishing site. I deposit 1 or 2 keys don't remember,lost them so I left coz I had bad luck.

    Yesterday the site owner (who claims he is not the owner but in his inventory there are all items which are placed in withdraw place in the site) asked me if I could add "TF2.BET" to my name and as reward he will give me some dollars on his site to play. I said "ok" coz I had already been on this site , also I told him that I had a small 60 subs YT channel and if he could pay something more I could record a video and upload it to YT. He said that he will give me $10 if I could deposit $8. So in total I would have $18. I agreed to it because I wanted finally to upload something new on my youtube channel. I deposited - I recieved the "bonus +$10" I played , recorded the video , uploaded it on youtube - everything went smooth (the video is now set to private). We stopped talking

    After sometime he started again the conversation with me and this time he said that if I deposit 3 keys he will make my balance x10. 3 keys were around 8 dollars +/- so my balance would be $80. It would be perfect for a video for youtube. I told him I dont want to lose more money so I would wish to have the opportunity to withdraw my 3 keys and with the rest of balance to play and ofc not withdraw anything more. He agreed. In the end he gave me $44 , not $80 as he promised but I was okay with the $44. I had $53 in total - $8 (3keys were mine). I started recording, my balance went to $43 so I said in the video "ok people now we going to withdraw something" , I went to withdraw page and I clicked on 3 keys and a messege popped out " You are in the black-list of withdraw". I said to myself that he might was afraid that Im going to withdraw something more expensive - going to run with other items. I sent him a messege but he was ignoring me. He was active in the site but he was ignoring my steam messeges. When he finally replied he said that " I lost his coins" - never understood what he means by "his coins" when he gave me coins to play with / promote his site. I told him to give back my 3 keys because the deal was that I deposit 3 keys , he make my balance x10 so I can play more (in the end he added $44 not x10) and whenever I want I can withdraw my 3 keys back. He told me that if I deposit $20 more they will fix this.
    After that he said that he has to go to sleep and some other cheap excuses.

    To sum up :
    - He ran from our deal
    - He stole my 3 keys
    - He lied

    I m living for one month - if anything more is needed , tell me , archive this report and I will make new one when I will able to.

    Today is a new day - he didn't mssg me even though he was active-online. I m removing him - not even interested in any pay back or something because this site/his method is a legit scam.
    He add users that need something offer something cool - for example offered help to me for my youtube video to add big balance but in the end he didnt keep his word. He scammed me for 3 keys, 3 keys are not much but this guy has not be stopped from scamming other people. I learned my lesson , if something is too good it must be not true.

    I will unfriend + block this user. I don't want to have liars and people who scammed me in my friendllist.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I got an error while uploading more screens. I will upload more screens on the "reply" under this thread.

    If the screenshots are not in the correct order Im really sorry for it but Im in hurry because Im living in not so long.​
