    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Trade Offer Fraud] Using Trade Offer URL fraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198168434552

    Victim profile: 76561198069185379

    What happened? Description:
    added me to trade my Howl, wanted me to take a screenshot of item specs, using a phishing site 'csgoshop.me', as he wants me to log into that site so he can have my log in information. Along the way he showed me how secure the site is etc, and assured me that it is safe. deleted me straight after I exposed his scam. the name in chat is the nick name I gave him to ID him.​

    Provide Evidence:
    2 screenshots of chat, and one screenshot of his profile with the chat window. plus initial convo with the scammer where he tried to establish trust worthiness by randomly pulling people from my friend list and accusing them of being potential scammers.​

    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!
