    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198522640624

    Victim profile: 76561198370909549

    What happened? Description:
    Person sent me a copy-pasted paragraph and a link to a gambling website. I recognised quite easily that this was a scam website because it was too good to be true and required a deposit of items in order to "claim items". Below is the evidence.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Side Note: I knew nothing about this person prior to this but I figured out what was going on after their first message as this form of scam is quite common. It was obvious because the person in question copy-pasted an already written paragraph without further saying anything. Also notice how in their bio the person claims to be a Dota 2 player/youtuber. In the scam this person stated that they were affiliated with a gambling site that had all TF2, Dota 2 and CS:GO items. You can see that they don't even own CS:GO or TF2, and have only played Dota 2 for 4.4 hours.

    I would suggest in the future you have users send you a comment on profile as to why they are adding you before accepting request..you can avoid these issues in the future.
