    Hello there!
    This is Steam Support. Our system have detected that your account have been using third party trading recently.
    We have to notify you that you need to transfer all of your valuable items to another storage/inventory to avoid item loss while we are validating your account.You will be given 6 hours before we start validating your account.

    What does that mean?

    Jacob:
    We have noticed a problem with your account caused by spammers depositing skins from the marketplace. We have advised you to move any valuable items you may have while we fix your steam account to a storage account or to a person with authorization.
    The valve took action after receiving numerous anonymous reports about your account. We advise you to move any valuable skins you have while we fix your Steam account so it won't add your stuff and crash with your Steam, so move them to a secure account.

    [12:21]
    Jacob:
    I hope you are collaborating with me so that we can get this done smoothly. The valve will start processing soon. Once we do, you won't be able to temporarily access your account.

    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.
    This is almost always from a hijacked account already and their goal is to hijack yours so we will place this under INVALID.
    These are phishing/hijacking attempts and are not to be reported to SteamRep!
    This was clearly noted to you BEFORE You sent to submit the report - please do not ignore our policies/notifications that are there to read before submission.

    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.

    Would be DECLINED regardless if we went that way because of lack of proper evidence on the screenshot.
