    Virtual item type involved: [None] No items

    Accused profile: 76561198025341011

    Victim profile: 76561198104586361

    What happened? Description:
    Added me and asked what class i play. After answering, he asked me to join his "team" and where i live. After that he asked on what times i can play and when i answered, they gave me link to "tournament site" where my red flags started to show. I quickly checked if the site was safe and saw it had 1% trust and apparently freshly made. I also saw vid of this same scam that happened 8th Nov.​

    Due to changes in our investigative policy, we do not accept phishing/hijacking reports anymore. As such, I am archiving this report.

    http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/notice-changes-to-investigation-policy.47952/

    Please keep in mind that users posting phishing links are often phished/hijacked themselves (if not a brand new throwaway account) and their account is being used to try and hijack even more accounts. For that reason, it's best to leave these cases to Valve/Steam as we do not have the resources to handle such cases. Additionally, the victim would have to appeal their tag once they regained access to their account.

    We recommend you report the accused to Valve. In order to do that, you have to:

    1. Visit the accused's profile
    2. Click the 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.

    In addition, we have a (work in progress) guide on recovering from account hijackings, including what happened in your case. I recommend looking it over, contacting Steam Support about your items, and updating/running your anti-virus.
