    What happened? Description:
    So this guy has been on my friends list for god knows how long and (apparently) has gotten his account taken over by a scammer. The scammer claims he has $200 worth of steam funds and I he has chosen me to gift them to. He then sends an edited screenshot of the paypal website "proving" that he has his steam account connected to his paypal and all he needs is MY paypal to send over my "gift" all while this is going on I research a little and find out that this is a scam and call him out for it. He then explains that he took over the previous owner's steam account because he did not "follow" him and when I further called him out for his pure BS scam he then used scare tactics to make me think he can change my account information on a whim and if I don't follow his steam account, he will reset my password.​

    Unfortunately, SteamRep does not accept reports dealing with hijacking/phishing/hacking -Due to current Investigative Policy
