    Due to changes in our investigative policy, we do not accept phishing reports anymore. As such, I am archiving this report.

    http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/notice-changes-to-investigation-policy.47952/

    Also please keep in mind that users posting phishing links are often phished/hijacked themselves, and their account is being used to try and hijack even more accounts. For that reason, it's best to leave these cases to Valve/Steam as we do not have the resources to handle such cases; the victim would have to appeal their tag once they regained access to their account.

    Instead, you should report both the user you linked above, and the one who sent you the link, to Valve directly.

    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accused's profile
    2. Click "More" drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose "Report Violation"
    4. Select the violation (Suspected Hijacker or Phishing), then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click "Submit Report"
