Something really interesting happened today.

This guy added me and tried to hijack my account:

As you can see he provided me a fake link to steam website so I could login there and put in my account info so he could take all my items.
Needless to say I sent the ticket and he's probably on his way to get banned.
Before I deleted him from my friend's list I acted as if I am a clueless kid and tried to make him respond. To no avail
..

Later that day I got two friend request AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. I added both of them and they told me the same tale I have heard earlier:

I have sent ticket for those as well.
So what gives? Why have these hijacks become more frequent recently?
I will keep posting if any more of these turn up.

...

And now my watch begins.

honestly dont bother to reply to them, they are bots only made to send phishing links.
open a trade on outpost with some valuable items and you will get like 5 of these on a second.
just report the profile if you reply is as if you where talking to a wall,they will not reply back.

Every time I bump my trades on outpost/csgolounge I get added by 2-8 phishing bots.

It's basically the norm now. Valve really needs to crack down on it.

SteamRep does not review phishing/hijacking reports at the moment, take a look at:

There is no need to keep on posting about this. Report them via Report violation feature on their profiles. That's all you can do.
