    Are they just well known by them?

    Well, since SR is fairly well known among the TF2 community, as well as Steam on a whole, whoever the phishers target will probably report them. They get found out quickly because a decent amount of their targets know how to react.

    Also many people who get stung do not want others to suffer the same consequences. Many people who report to SR realize they will never get their "stuff" back, but they report for the benefit of others being community minded individuals.
    Dronefly and DataStorm like this.
