    If you want to do something about phishing sites, go to http://domainwhitepages.com/ or another whois service to find out the domain registrar and hosting provider. Then contact both via their abuse email addresses listed there or directly on their websites.

    If you post a report like this here, it's good to have a record, but nothing will happen, except someone else like me maybe informing the hosting provider. This is also addressed to you, random passer-by. Report phishing pages to the hosting companies, not just Steamrep! Hosting companies are the people who can remove them, not Steamrep!


    Also report it as an unsafe site in your browser and to these:

    http://toolbar.netcraft.com/report_url
    https://submit.symantec.com/antifraud/phish.cgi
    http://www.phishtank.com/
    https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
    http://phishing.eset.com/report


    Also, http://backpack.tf has a system to leave feedback for users now. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/meetthestats#announcements/detail/1406548721154226724
