    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561197961807451

    Victim profile: 76561198091171139

    What happened? Description:
    Quite simple really, I commented on https://steamcommunity.com/id/sousou57/ profile about robactive AA, impersonator instantly added me and i simply didnt check (my bad). First red flag was he asked for less keys than i said (it's 3 am i wasn't thinking lol) then he sends a phishing link abotu some made up bs about graph percentage so obviously trying to scam me. I know phishing isnt supposed to be part of the SteamRep reporting but since he is impersonating with intent to defraud it seems good to report here because I thought many other people might fall for the scam.

    All evidence of chats detailed below, also the scammer and real profile are shown under the respective names.​

    Unfortunately, SteamRep does not accept reports dealing with hijacking/phishing/hacking -Due to current Investigative Policy
    http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/investigative-policy.140101/

    This includes anything to do with API key requests, wrong or misspelled URL's and sites requesting logins of any type in attempts to steal your credentials.
    These are phishing/hijacking attempts and are not to be reported to SteamRep!

    You can report the user to Valve instead
    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT

    Absolutely DO NOT make a report here if phishing is involved at any point. Doesn't matter what else they do - you have no idea if that account was phished to begin with and phishing/hacking will cancel out anything else here that may or may not have happened.! report that to Valve only!
