This is because they need a replacement Scout/Soldier for their upcoming Sixes tournament with a grand prize of $700. They then asked for my Discord account so they can provide a hyperlink to the tournament.

Lol he just did this to me, thanks for writing an article, I always search links before visiting the website and this helped me find your review. Though I’m not dumb enough to enter any login info, I still hate clicking links I’ve never heard of.

Found this page on Google, so apologies for necro.
Another scammer, under ID STEAM_0:1:557364652

They added me as a friend and I dm’d them as I don’t normally accept friend requests, their description seemed like they were also a developer so I obliged:

Also here’s a screenshot from the above scammer (STEAM_0:0:557337590):

Their descriptions are identical. I didn’t hear back from them, but I did leave a comment on most of STEAM_0:1:557364652’s friends warning them about the scam.

Hope this helps anyone, as this scam is still ongoing.

found a way to find a bunch of accounts due to noticing they all had the same header I googled the “I’m a 3d artist (now I’m developing tf2 maps). Blender + Using 3x3090 to render
I’ve been playing tf2 since 2015. My fav maps is cp_sunshine and site:steamcommunity.com” and went to images, each one is an artwork/screenshot uploaded by a user with that as their bio
Quick link if you guys dont feel like copy pasting what is inside the quotes above
