WeDislike Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I was recently added by a random person on steam who messaged me about promoting their new tf2 roulette website, the guy basically gets you to put the link in your steam bio then says he can pay you in items through his website. He then tries to prove he's an admin by "rigging" a win. I'd assume he'd want you to add items to join the game so he can "rig" it for you and just pocket all of your items. The website was registered on Feb 22. If an offer sounds to good to be true it's almost always a scam. The chat section on the site is the most basic fake chat ever where your messages don't even send.

RussellSproutz Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Plan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingBatz Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Didn't know about it in TF2, but yeah pretty well known scam in CSGO for a few years now. People have tried to sue but concluded that virtual items have no real world value to consider it as stealing. Absolute bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
