:skull: DOCUMENTED OFFENSES:
Grooming Young Adult Males: "sniperbyker" targets young adult males (ages 18–25) in CS:GO and other gaming platforms, offering rare in-game items like CS:GO knives (e.g., Karambit Doppler or Butterfly Fade) in exchange for personal information, voice chats, or other inappropriate interactions.
