this a phishing site?

Will Banks · May 8, 2019

i am like, 99% sure it is because multiple people have told me to "confirm the price" of my unusual on "tf2lounge", which doesnt even come up on google search results.

It requires you to sign in through steam and I ain't touching it with a 10 foot stick.

Also, if this is a phishing site, should I report them to Steamrep or is this not a good enough reason?

Thanks!

We do not review phishing reports. I suggest you just avoid the site and remove the user and move on.

Yes, that website is phishing.

Hidden Content:

Unfortunately, we don't handle reports for phishing websites. It is best if you report the account shilling it to Valve from their Steam profile, and include a link to the site in question. And of course, don't sign into it.

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. 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. Hijacking/Phishing can involve but not limited to asking for API data to various sites, giving you altered links/addresses to various sites and even sites that are not spelled correctly. Some sites may even ask you for steam login credentials or login credentials to sites you may use - all of these are Hijacking/Phishing attempts and are not to be reported here. Report all of these directly to Valve and/or those sites involved.
