    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [DOTA2] Dota2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198026012744 ()

    Victim profile: 76561198088377839

    What happened? Description:
    I received a friend request from username tomheath90. I accepted and wrote to him. I got the typical automated message "Hello my friend wants to trade with you, but he can't add you" etc. and the link that followed was steamcommunity misspelled with a "u" at the end, as you can see in the file I attached. This is the first time this has happened to me, but I have read some stuff on the interwebz and know to be wary when accepting Steam friends. I can only imagine that he wanted my DotA 2 items, since those are the only tradable ones I have in my inventory.
    I hope that me submitting this did not violate any rules on SteamRep and I thank you for your time.​

    Oh, this is phishing? My bad then. As I said, first time this has happened to me...
    I'll take it to Valve, thanks.
