    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Accomplice] Alternate account of hijacker or scammer
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198114997808 ()

    Victim profile: 76561198045068724

    What happened? Description:
    Downloaded a fake Adobe Flashplayer which was a keylogger in disguise.
    Got items hijacked along with the steam account.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I was added on my main account (Umbra) by Costello (The hijacker) who has the controller of the keylogger.
    He offered 3 buds for my pyromancer mask, which was my buyout at the time so I accepted the trade and was logged out of my account. I then tried logging into my account not knowing I had a keylogger installed. I was yet again logged out.
    I had the steam window open and was able to see the e-mail the hijacker changed it to.

    Costello is banned on backpack.tf and outpost for selling hijacked items:

    Those were just some of the many items stolen from me.

    Notice how costello's backpack goes up by $2,000 in less than a month.

    I don't expect to get my items or account back, but I just wanted to bring this evidence forward to both steam rep and steam support.​

    Hello @Sparkle Rose,

    There has been some changes in the policy, and as such, your report will be archived, please read here: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/notice-changes-to-investigation-policy.47952/


    What we don't research anymore:

    CD Keys/Game Code/Wallet code scam reports
    Fakerep reports
    Phishing/hijacking account reports


    You can, however, report the user directly to Valve using the Report Violation feature on the other user's profile. To do so:

    1. Visit the accused's 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.

    Regardless, thanks for the report!
