    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198117984860

    Victim profile: 76561198004229461

    What happened? Description:
    Randomly received a friend request from what I thought was a Steam account to an actual Twitch streamer. About a day after, I receive a message from them saying "Congratulations! You have just won Unusual Antlers! Come and take it! http://misskrause.ru.com/." Did not click the link, but rather I googled this, and found out it was a scam that has been tried before. No actual trade took place, just reporting to help others from falling for this scam from this 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.
    These are phishing/hijacking attempts and are not to be reported to SteamRep!
