    You can file a report in the "Report a Scam" section, here: https://forums.steamrep.com/forums/report/

    You may also want to report them to Valve by using the built in "Report Violation" feature on their Steam profile.

    I appreciate the tips, I just really don't know the due process for these things but I don't like dangerous attitudes like this populating the community for long. Thanks for the info.

    There is no such thing as a legitimate betting site in Steam.

    Is it possible to report someone WITHOUT getting scammed when the scam is obvious?

    depending on your definition of "obvious" and the evidence you have, yes

    For a Fraud Report what report type should I put it under if the scammer tried to make me log into a scamming website to steal my login info?

    This would be phishing and account hijacking. We don't accept reports for that anymore.

    Please keep in mind that users posting phishing links are often phished/hijacked themselves (if not a brand new throwaway account) 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. Since few if any people will check SteamRep before accepting a friend request or clicking a link, accepting a scam report here would have no impact. Additionally, the victim would have to appeal their tag once they regained access to their account. It's best to not create any undue hardship for someone who's already going through an account hijacking.

    I posted a report which was turned down due to the fact that the chat log wasn't in English. I can understand that.
    What I want to know is this: I translated the entire chat log to English, if theoretically the encounter was in English rather than (in my case) Greek, would it be accepted?

    We don't review but only those with evidence in English

    You can report it to perhaps a partner community that does have staff that speak that language otherwise you can report directly to Valve.
    Partner lists here:
    https://steamrep.com/

    Report to Valve using this method
    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT

    Click here to view an animated gif that shows how to report a violation.

    I'm not asking for any action to be taken against anybody, I just want to know
    If theoretically the report I posted took place in English originally, without any translating going on, and I posted it in pure English, would it be accepted? (Theoretically!)

    Also the GIF is outdated as I reported the person on Steam before I posted here, and it was interactive and asked me questions

    Not going to speculate one way or another without the proper evidence in front of me. It would be wrong to do so and could show the user being guilty when they may not be.
    Sorry.
    I will see about updating the gif thanks!
