    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198865931844

    Victim profile: 76561198099662062

    What happened? Description:
    User added me out of the blue, I accept, they message me a few days later saying he'd pay me weekly in TF2 items if I advertised his website (https://tf2millenium.com/) in my profile description. Eventually I asked him to prove that the users on the site were real, and he refused saying it was against the "privacy policy" and blocked me.

    I have zero experience with gambling websites so I don't know if this is enough evidence to prove a scam, but in trading I've found that if it's at all fishy it usually turns out to be a scam.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I'm not sure what to put here, chat and screenshots are attached​

    @Buddy the Elf Always make sure you get a full screenshot of the users profile WHILE friends not afterwards.
    Helps verify identity. Since you failed to do that I can't verify you are reporting the right user and not an impersonator.
    Follow next set of instructions.
    issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your friend/user activity thru a web browser - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Make sure you open this in a web browser before doing anything rather than steam client. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HEREā€¦NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Please review this screenshot guide should you need assistance:

    I'll accept that but next time make sure its full screen and not the task bar hidden.

    Thanks. You would think print screen would print the whole screen.
