    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [None] No items

    Accused profile: 76561198070030047

    Victim profile: 76561198311739780

    What happened? Description:
    (Keep in mind this is a scam attempt.) Isotashi main had sent me a friend request. I decided to accept because that's what I do with everyone. The person had "chosen" me for a $200 donation in Steam funds. I continued with the person, asking if I had a PayPal. I didn't, so then they asked for my steam username, which I gave to the person. Then, the obvious scammer moment, was when they asked for my Verification/Steam Guard code (which I know can be used to access my account). After that, I knew he was trying to scam me of my account. I stopped talking to him after the realization. That proof is in the screenshots that I have attached.​

    Provide Evidence:
    In the screenshots, Isotashi main greets me, I greet him back. We move on to the topic, the steam funds. He goes on to ask if I have a PayPal, which I don't, to which he replies "It goes directly through Steam." I give him my steam username, but then he asks for my verification/steam code. I know this can be used to access my account, which is what he wanted to "deposit money into my account." It was really obvious he was trying to scam me, and it was suspicious enough that the +rep's on his profile were all from private profiles except for only 2.​

    Unfortunately, SteamRep does not accept reports dealing with hijacking/phishing/hacking -Due to current Investigative Policy

    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!
