Salt n’ Quackers Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 tf2call.com is a gambling website that somebody is trying to get my to affiliate myself with, but should I trust them? Is it a phish? The person messaging me is saying they can control who wins and has demonstrated such, and I want to know if I should do anything with them. I don't think so, but I'm just making sure.

ThePickleCat Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 No. A. Gambling is against Steam TOS. B. No he will most likely force you to deposit items before you can make a withdrawal then run away with your items. C. If he can control those odds, who is to say he won't just screw you over with the odds. D. Gambling is not "ez muney", be smart either trade up or invest $$ into it. E. Also did his site have a fake login, did he trick you into using a fake login form to give all your account details? F. Why you? Some random stranger he has never talked to before. Why does he want to make you ez rich. What about his friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n’ Quackers Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 E: I belive it was the actual steam login, because it gave me the “click here to sign in” with my profile and such. Also, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3SP4WN Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 You’d have a better chance to make profit with bloody UNBOXING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3SP4WN Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Also watch out for ALL GAMBLING SITES!!! As DanielDee posted in a different forum: -tf2skull, tf2call, tf2dragon, and many more, they use the EXACT ADVERTISING METHOD MENTIONED ABOVE. They are all extremely new sites, created only about a week ago by a Russian group, most likely in anticipation of Christmas. DO NOT PROMOTE OR GAMBLE ON ANY SITES, IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK.

Zeus_Junior Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 lol i reported that guys main https://backpack.tf/issue/5b694a76cf6c7503d049b423 Its good that you paid attention and checked if its a fake login or not. Pretty much everything has been said already, but if you're wondering how it would work if you went through with him: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.50 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Might want to, uhh, fix your steam profile before you get reported for phishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that does look a bit dodgey... Site is only 2 months old. Hosted in russia, like most of them. It has an alaskan registrant. That said as its hosted in russia and uses russian webhosts and name provider then the personal details may well be fake.http://whois.domaintools.com/tf2call.com I just had a browse at that site and anyone with knowledge about tf2 will see that its fake. Some of the items (weapons) being bet on are not even available in game. In some of the bets people are betting "Unusual Festive weapons" , which dont even exist :S , along side people betting unusual festivised weapons which obviously do exist... Very flakey indeed Some other iffy domains are also hosted on that same ip but resolve to no webhost Domain View Whois Record Screenshots 1. csgolaurel.com 2. pubgshift.com 3. tf2call.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobsilly2 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hey, I may be wrong but I think the login is a phishing redirect. Here's a comparison between the url TF2Call.com takes you when asking for your login and where TF2Outpost.com takes you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokE Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 This was clearly a scam attempt. It is extremely important to make sure you know who you are trading / chatting or making deals with before you complete any risky trades. I highly recommend using - https://rep.tf/ - to check who you are dealing with. Copy the user's Steam ID directly from their profile URL and paste it where prompted. If this still doesnt help I'd recommend asking someone just like you did now which is good Do not use / click on any links that they give you to do check as scammers will often give you links that link to the user inventory/backpack they are impersonating or it could be phishing links. Stay safe and report that account on the main site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
