    Hello! I have a sister that apperently upset with the way someone is impersonating her profile and Bulling her?
    We talked to a few people and Steam Support hasnt responded in a few weeks and apperently she reported there profile too but nothing is going on, So we were told to come here and all I see is a bunch of reports for scam. I dont use steam so I dont know about any of this but since we were told to come here I was concerned about if we are able to report the person thats impersonating my Sister. Since steam support isnt responding at all we are hoping this is the correct place to be. So If this isnt where we report impersonating or Fraud we would like assistance to were we should go to report this.

    Are they impersonating with the intent of scamming or with the intent of bulling? If their intent was scamming then you can report them here: http://forums.steamrep.com/forms/scam-report.2/respond

    If the intent was bulling (which is what it sounds like from what you wrote) then you should check your country/state's laws on cyber bulling/cyber stalking/cyber harassment depending on the severity of the situation, and possibly send a support ticket to Valve about the issue here: https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php?

    I see in the Friendslist of that account:

    I fully agree with Clive above. I have however a comment:
    If that person is on her friendslist, she can easily remove and/or block them. She can also lower the "attack surface" by setting her profile comments to friends only, or even put her profile on private.

    As far as involving law enforcement for bullying, results vary, depends on how it is picked up at reporting it in your area.
