    Hello. I need help. Also, a bunch of other people too. Let me explain,

    I arrived home today to log into Steam to trade with others in the community. I received a friend request by someone and I accepted it. As it turns out I talk to the guy, he sends me this message.

    "hi add my friend he interest trade with you,but he cant add you (steam error)"

    It came along with a link to the Steam community. I clicked on it and it said I needed to sign in. It looked real and it had the logo and everything for the Steam/Valve sign-in password deal.

    As I typed in my information it said it wasn't right and that I needed to go to my email and use the code because I haven't logged in to this PC with this Steam account.

    To this point I knew I was done for. He went into my Inventory and took at least $400 worth of items.

    I did some looking around and found the guy. Sadly, i'm not the only one. And it keeps multiplying.

    This is the culprit : http://steamcommunity.com/id/littlewell3/

    This is his Backpack on backpack.tf : http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198083191016
    (From the Alien Swarm Parasite to the Refined Metal next to the Bill's Hat is all mine.)

    I'm mostly sad that he took my Scout Unusual.
    Here is the history of the hat : http://backpack.tf/item/1206361023
    (Sagan is the one that traded it to me the day before, Littlewell3 is the guy that has it now)

    Here is his Steamrep :
    | steamname: Littlewell :3
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:61462644
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198083191016
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/littlewell3
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198083191016

    I hope something can get resolved and help others.
    Hopefully I can get my items back.

    We don't handle phishing reports here because 90% of the time the account that phished you was also some other poor person who got hijacked, too. :(

    Report this to Steam Support quickly so they can handle this for your account.

    Sorry to hear about this situation. :(
