    What happened? Description:
    I sold a Team Fortress 2 item to this account , after the trade he added me on an alt account with the same name and picture and asked if i was selling my unusual, i told him i was for 18 keys in pure to which he asked what the Definition Index was for the item.

    I responded saying i didn't know what that was so he sent a link to a website called TF2Status, i checked online to see if the website is legitimate but nothing came up, i checked the website and found you couldn't do anything without logging in.

    I told him i didn't trust the website to which he deleted me and changed his profile picture and name, unfortunately i don't have the chat logs because i didn't believe he was trying to scam me at the time.​

    Provide Evidence:
    First Picture is the Alt account.

    Second is the Website i was sent to.

    Third is when i added him.

    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!
