This won't be short I can promise that. Sorry in advance.
So, here I am again with another fake gambling website and also I can confirm that I am INCREDIBLY STUPID (or my donator badge is worth more to me than thinking reasonably). I did get scammed, I guess I don't know everything yet.
In this particular scam, I have at least 3 profiles to report, I hope that you guys will see this as I do and they will indeed end up marked.
Here is the profile of the guy, who approached me, I would consider him as a scammer too, as he has manipulated me into this:

http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198290452409(Unfortunately I was dumb enough to misclick and close the chat with this guy (I will call him "coin donator"), but luckily the mobile steam application saved the entire chat history, please consider accepting the chat screenshots from the mobile chat.
He added me, then when I asked him what he wants, he came forward: He wants me to cash out some items on a gambling site for him(because he is banned from it), he will give me coins for it and I only need to deliver the item. I went with it, because I wanted to see if he is just bluffing, or indeed going to "give coins", matter of fact, I did receive a good $300+ worth of coins. Without hesitation, I went ahead and grabbed the item he wanted, then the site has prompted me with a message "in order to withdraw, you will have to deposit at least 50000 worth coins, until then, your coins will be frozen".
I was surprised (and at the same time owed this guy $200 in coins), so I told him that I can't get his item, I will ask an administrator to revert the whole thing, I am NOT risking my items. In the meantime I have sent him the remaining "coins" back, don't want to be accused for anything.
After successfully adding an admin (the only one I would suppose, the guy who I am also reporting in this report. Interestingly he was online) I have explained the issue to him, and asked him to reimburse the "coin donator" and ignore my withdraw as I am not taking part in this. Of course, I couldn't back out, as I had to deposit in order to have the other guy reimbursed, at this point I realized that I am TRAPPED!
1) If I don't try to at least save the $200 that the website has "frozen", I can be marked as a scammer, eventhough I haven't benefited from this.
2) I can deposit and hope that I will get access to the lost coins and hopefully get my stuff back from the deposited amount of coins.
Since I have indeed spent on a steamrep donator badge and I "kind of " had a knife that I was about to sell/exchange anyways, I have went ahead and stepped straight into the spider's web. I deposited in the hopes of saving this kid's stuff. And my reputation of course.
Once the deposit was made, I had it confirmed with this "admin", and guess what....a $68 deposit returned an "error" on their website, I am still unable to access the withdraw feature, and I can only "have" the coins that were frozen, but I can't use them. After a painfully long time, this "admin" still hasn't "unfreeze" my account, but instructed me to deposit again and he will send everything back. I didn't deposit for the second time, right after the "error" on the trade, I knew I got scammed, trust me, I am ashamed.
The knife is gone, the "coin donator" is still short on his "coins" (obviously generated coins, he didn't lose anything) and I have no choice, but to suck it up that I am still acting like an idiot and trying to "help" people, when they obviosly just want to get my stuff.
Nevermind, I will link a whole lot of screenshots below, along with the website's tradebot. Again, kindly accept the steam mobile application chat screenshots as they are crucial in this case, and accept my apologies for not being able to come forward with the desktop chat (steam doesn't save them)
The website is "csgogune.com"
The administrator is the scammer, as he has lured me into a deposit.
The "coin donator" is his partner, as he has manipulated me into thinking he had that amount of money on the website.
The dedicated trade bot shows offline however, it keeps moving things around, my knife vanished within 40 minutes, all along the bot was offline.
Steamrep block for it:
