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

    Accused profile: 76561198829097709

    Victim profile: 76561198103938356

    What happened? Description:
    he said he wanted to pay me to advertise his gambling website. he sent me to a fake gambling website. they said they were going to rig the results. then they wanted me to trade a bot to put my items in so i could win the lottery.​

    Provide Evidence:
    look at the chat logs in the screenshots. i also have a desktop recording of the fake website and the chat. last time i reported a fake gambling website the admin said videos aren't a valid medium of proof. (which doesn't make any sense since its just a bunch of pictures, and pictures are accepted.) but i will have it available on request.​
