    Scam Report

    Report Type: DO NOT SUBMIT TO STEAMREP - Phishing or suspicious link
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198873887303

    Victim profile: 76561198095345433

    What happened? Description:
    Soul added me yesterday afternoon-ish on the first of June, 2019. Responded today, half an hour ago (11 AM), he responded asking for help, saying he was a moderator of a tf2 Auction site, saying for me to help a 'website promotion' and offers me tf2 items for doing his deeds. I asked for the sites name and he sends a link. I have screenshot of the conversation. Either way, he didn't use http:// at the start of the link, so i know this was an untrusted site. I suspect he is trying to use fake website scams.​

    Provide Evidence:

    (This is a transcript of the conversation above the "hi dude" that Soul Fire Posted)

    Grovesy - "Hello, please tell me the reason for adding me; if you don't in 24 hours, i will unfriend you. 2 Tries are allowed, failing to answer for the second try of adding me will result in blocking. Thank you!"

    Soul Fire - "hi dude"

    - the rest of the conversation is on the screenshot.
