    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561199058506927

    Victim profile: 76561198106692506

    What happened? Description:
    I was randomly added by this user a couple days ago. Because I was bored, I friended them to see what they were up to. After doing some research, talking to them like they weren't suspicious, it certainly seems like they were attempting to do the "vote for my team" scam.

    This is a report on the scam type: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamScams/comments/gmtqcw/vote_for_my_team_scam/

    Upon unfriending them before they could send a link, it seems like they either blocked all communication with me, or have their privacy settings set so they cannot be friended.​

    Provide Evidence:

    This is my entire window as they attempted to do the scam. I unfriended them before they could ever send a link, but it certainly lines up with the method people use to scam people.​

    So because I'm really silly and have never made a post before, I uploaded the wrong picture for evidence. Here's the actual full page chat log. Sorry!

    This includes anything random sites that a user gives you for a chance to win anything. Gambling sites are against Steam TOS also therefore you should avoid these users, delete them, report them to Valve instead as noted below.
