    Hello SteamRep Admins, and Users.
    Just about 20 minutes ago, I received a friend request from a user named "n0iz" (SteamID: STEAM_0:0:184108461).
    He attempted to get me to login to some sketchy site(http://csgosprite.net/), claiming he had "free coins" to give me to withdraw skins. I immediately knew this was a phishing scam, and reported this guy. After I unfriended him, he proceeded to change his username (to the one above) and also his steam community URL(currently it is http://steamcommunity.com/id/n0izzzzzz/). I have seen in a previous post that this same website has been known to be a phishing website, and just wanted to let you know that there is yet another user trying to get people to use this website. Thank you!

    Typical very typical scam going on - will archive this since I see you put a report up.

    Just a notice to anyone reading - Copy/pasted chat text is not acceptable....you MUST have FULL screenshots of the chat thru steam chat only to go with a report with someone communicating to you.
    Also this is not a phishing attempt - phishing attempt/reports are no longer reportable here
