    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198972059529

    Victim profile: 76561198060838921

    What happened? Description:
    This is a random person. He messaged me about advertising his gambling site for weekly payment. He had me put his scamming site in my prof desc. Then, he lead me to the site where he told me to pick someone to win the "pot" of items. I did, and one of the random bots won. He said that in exchange for advertising his gambling site, Id get a free fixed gamble every week. He then requested me to enter my user ID. I didn't go any further because it was an obvious scam. There are bots saying random crap on one side of the site (these users never leave) and people are supposedly throwing out 100s of dollars of items every 2 minutes for a bs pot. Nobody is actually gambling, it's just an elaborate scheme to get me to most likely put in my own items into the pot, but like I said, I never got that far because it was an obvious scam.​

    Provide Evidence:
    All evidence in screenshots and the site that he directed me to.
