So someone on my friends list just proposed some work for me, saying he can pay me in TF2 items. He introduced me to TF2 Violet and said I can pick a winner or something. He then said he can have me win the thing whenever I want.
I really don't understand what's going on here but something tells me this is messed up somehow. I need more information. Is this normal?
this is a scam, be careful, you can report him to SteamRep
TF2 Violet is, as far as I can tell, not a thing that exists.
But yes, this isn't normal.
This is the site in question by the way https://tf2violet.com/
Jackpot sites are scams and you're a fool for falling for it.
It's a good thing I made this thread before I jumped into something dangerous. Thanks for the info guys. I'm reporting his profile for review and will be blocking him shortly.

as you can see, someone created 12 TF2 scam websites on the same shitty server in Russia
he will add you, show you a fake gambling site (everything you see there is fake, there are no real users on it)
he'll show you that he can choose the winner until he gains your trust, and then ask you to play with your items so he could make you win and you split the earnings with him
once you deposit and play, he'll say that you did it too fast not giving him enough time to pick the winner and that you should do it again, he'll keep doing that until you notice, and then run away with the items you deposited
report to SteamRep https://forums.steamrep.com/forms/scam-report.10/respond
take full uncropped screenshots of your conversation, do not proceed or try to troll him, you may still get scammed
Due to how common this is, if you have to ask it is a scam. And someone saying you can pick a winner to return the favor later is enough to mark it as scam.
There is also a big chance he will say he will report your account to "his friend the steam admin" if you refuse. Which is of course another lie.
Even if a jackpot site isn't outright a scam -- that is, they actually conduct bets and don't immediately steal your items -- you'd be an absolute moron to associate with them in any way whatsoever.
csgo had the same shit.
and i was added many a times for those. hell no.
