    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198984552371

    Victim profile: 76561198204076453

    What happened? Description:
    This person added me out of the blue, did not even play a game with me, I'm cautious with new people anyway, yet it seemed suspicious right of the bat due to the profile of the user, no Public Inventory, "Site Employee" yet no link to said site. This is the 2nd user that has tried this one me , there never was a Trade Agreement as this is supposed to run over a site. I 100% now that the chat is not as long as one would except yet this user is also not providing a Link or proof of his own gimmick, which also made me suspicious, I do hope that this is enough as I am unable to recover more from them.​

    Provide Evidence:
    For the Evidence itself I have brought the Profile, The Chat and the Chat Log, like mentioned, I know it is not much but I hope it is enough, the user initially ran themselves into a dead end with me, and have since not responded. Yet this is rather clearly a attempted "Worker of a Gambling Site" scam.​
