Can I report someone for an ATTEMPTED scam?

    An impersonator tried to scam me earlier, but I figured them out. They don't have any special reputation, so I figured I should file a report against them. Only, the page for reporting people specifies including the steam ID of the victim, but as far as I know, the scamer has been unsuccessful thus far. Can I still report them?

    You would be the victim. If you have proof the user tried to scam you with impersonation by intent to defraud yes.
    You would need to provide specific proof..typically via full screenshots.
    If the user is just talking to you but you can't prove it beyond any doubt then you would only be assuming that was the case.
