    What happened? Description:
    This person added me to offer on my unusuals for an obscenely high price.
    But according to him he needs me to "confirm unusuals" via some skins link, which is the biggest red flag.

    It turns out he is impersonating this account to scam unusuals.

    No items were traded.​

    Provide Evidence:

    @KMOS If you took a moment to check the link the user gave you would have seen its a phishing site - therefore this report just became phishing related and not something we review here.

    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!

    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
