    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198874818054

    Victim profile: 76561198049265485

    What happened? Description:
    Apparently Star "owns" the site TF2Howl (https://tf2howl.com/) which I ignored for months until just one day. I was skeptical of their offer. So I try some background checks on the player and site anything that was available. However, in the end, curiosity got the better of my judgment. The main factor that pushed me to try was the chat reacting to the wheel stopping for long periods of time. (This all happened about a month or 2 ago. Before any of the new of rigged gambling pop up. This is why backgrounds check came up empty )

    One problem I see in common, these users hide their profile comments, which fixing the rest their profile to be aesthetically friendly so others can't detect they are scammers in any way.

    I report this Account to Valve but have not heard word since.​
