This is the second time it tried to phish me. On the first time it came, I tried to talk to him about it, but he wasn't responding. Then he went offline (he closed the chat). I tried opening the site, showing me a few games "I can get for free" (Photo #2 is how it looks like), in Incognito mode (Google Chrome) so that it wouldn't automatically log-in. The 3rd image shows how his profile looks like, in which, he keeps changing the primary group. It also shows that it's account was created on August 7th (today). If we ban this bot, the actual programmer will just recreate this bot. So is there any way to track down the programmer?
Like the Facebook bots which do the same thing, it is essentially self-perpetuating. While it would be awesome to track down the programmer behind it, that is something that Valve would need to use their tools as owners of the service to investigate. I recommend providing any evidence you discover to a Steam Support ticket- it might help them to uncover the source. Thank you for the report.
