    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561199112503929

    Victim profile: 76561198371431022

    What happened? Description:
    This is a report for an attempted scam/promotion of a scam. The victim (me) has not lost any items.

    Accused added me randomly (as far as I can tell we share no games in common, I don't even play TF2). They approached me asking to "cooperate" with me on something. I press for more information and they said they would like me to promote a website and I would get paid in TF2 items. They provide a URL and it's a website I have never heard of. I try to press for more information and they seem to try avoiding my questions.

    As of the time of writing, this is the extent of my conversation with the accused.​

    Provide Evidence:
    This is my first interaction with the accused

    Here is our conversation continued

    Here is proof of identity

    Now I would like to prove that "tf2humanity" is indeed a scam website.

    The domain was registered yesterday https://who.is/whois/tf2humanity.com
    I believe this is a hug red flag for any kind of website, but especially since it's a gambling website.

    The website uses graphical designs of a different name.
    If you visit the website, you'll see a design for "TF2 Routlette"
    A quick Google search for this name brings up multiple pages showing scam websites with identical branding and have similar layouts.
    eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/p4q976/tf2_roulette_scam/

    The accused is incredibly evasive and vague when it comes to questions about the website. If they were really trying to strike a deal with me, it's inconceivable that they wouldn't be more upfront with me.

    I have a screenshot that has more conversation with the accused, but I am having issues uploading it so I will try to attach it to another post.​

    Sorry, it seems like I accidentally uploaded some images multiple times. On my end it looked like I had only uploaded 3 images.

    Sorry for the multiple replies

    This is further conversation I had with the accused. Now they claim to make me a "winner on the site once a week" which is incredibly dubious to me.

    The accused is still friended with me as of the time of writing and I plan to remove them once the matter has been resolved.
