    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Gambling] Fake gambling website
    Virtual item type involved: [None] No items

    Accused profile: 76561198040892423

    Victim profile: 76561198144813285

    What happened? Description:
    The user added me while I was playing. I decided to accept her friend request, but the user went offline before I could message them. I then decided to gather some screenshots that could be useful. After a while, the user came back online and asked me to promote their website. Knowing it was a well known scam method, I blocked her.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I have attached some screenshots to this report, which include:
    -The scammer's profile while I was friends with them through a browser (apologies for not getting one from the steam client);
    -My activity page, which shows I was friends with the scammer;
    -The chat log;
    -The gambling website and its login page.​

    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

    Click here to view an animated gif that shows how to report a violation.
