    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198406670563

    Victim profile: 76561198028924642

    What happened? Description:
    So this all started with a guy called Wild cat contacting me over steam about an opportunity about making money about 50 dollars a week advertising a gambling site, which made me intressted.

    I was pretty much aware of this being a scam but as i dont care about my tf2 items anymore i was like meh, there could be a 80% that i will get scammed but also a 20% that i will get some money out of this

    The things i had todo was simple, just put the name of the site on my profile, but after that he wanted me to go on the site and put in a small bet, and he would make me win over that pot.
    He even let me pick one from the pot and let him win.

    It made me very happy that the pot also went up to about 500 dollars, which i actually won.
    So i wanted to withdraw all of the items but it poped up an error saying that you need to win 2 times, i was like ok, so he told me, put in another bet but make the bet 10% of the pot so they wont suspect that this is rigged, so i put in 10% of pot, but suddenly a lot of people joined the pot and the pot went up to 1000 dollars and my 10% became 4%.

    And then he was like, dude thats not 10% but i let you win. so i won again. i won 1500 dollars in total, i was shocked but also had a sneaky suspicion that this is fake, so when i tried to withdraw all of my items that i won i couldnt. because i won with a low win chance?
    I mean come on?

    I also starting to notice that the chat started to reapeat itself over and over with the same dialouge

    So he tells me that i have to verify with a bot that wants a certain % of the winning price.
    Which is like all my expensive items.

    At the moment i realize i've been scammed. and thats why im writing this report, so other people wont fall for this stupid scam like i did.

    Thanks for reading the report, Pics of the conversation,trades and site are down below

    There was more to the conversation but i was just me and arguing about my items and the verification.

    Sorry for typos, English is not my main language

    Wild Cat: What are the deposit requirements?
    You are required to login in order to deposit items. You can deposit a maximum of 15 items at a time. The total value of your deposit must be higher than ♣ 10. If your deposit does not meet the requirements, our bots will automatically refuse your trade offer and send you a notification.
    Wild Cat: See that your bet meets the minimum requirements

    Nordman: Withdraw enabled after 2 wins?
    Wild Cat: ahh yes because you're new to the site, it's because of the rule
    Wild Cat: Why am I not receiving my win?
    Newcomers to the site have to win twice in order to get their winnings. This only applies if you have never played before.
    Wild Cat: but is no problem for us
    Wild Cat: I can make you a second time winner but then the next payment will be in 2 weeks, deal?

    Nordman: you see the game?
    Wild Cat: okay then did bet and i will make you the winner again and I'll ask you to keep the chance of winning 10-15% so that we would not raise suspicions, then you won the first pot with a chance of 4%
