    After the first time I posted a scammer report, and it was denied, I told myself; whats the point of doing this if some operator "thinks" that it wasn't a scam, even though the same steps could have been taken by a scammer to attain a scam. So I waited a few months, rejecting many scamming attempts which I didn't report, thinking "why waste my time reporting them?". Well, I decided to try again. This time, its an obvious scamming attempt, which would have take me less than a minute to evaluate and mark the user as a scammer, if I was a moderator. What is the point of this site? I mean, obvious scammer. Wasted my time posting this here. And now again, nothing happens. Not going to waste my time doing this again. Phishing reports are not as important? Common! People loose thousands of dollars because of these scamming attempts, I consider them the most dangerous scams.

    Hello,

    Please understand this. With the enormous amount of scam reports(with varying reasons) Steamrep had to make some changes in what they will investigate. It is not Steamrep staffs fault for you not reading the post(link provided by Volcano1966). Steamrep has experance with reports and has a better knowleage on what is more important.
    (Red color is add)
    Also as stated by SilentReaper(SR)( see below)

    Some PayPal transactions can become costly. They may or may not have decided that this was more important along with other types.

    Thanks,
