    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198179893898

    Victim profile: 76561198116928217

    What happened? Description:
    This person added me pretending to be a user and trader named "CouchPotato". As I am writing up this report he has now changed his name to Mazak | DLore FT 0.15 because he is using a scam method where if you send a trade offer to someone on bp.tf, a impersonator of the person you send the trade offer to you will add you to their friends which is exactly what this user has done. He added me asking if I could get the "market graph percentage", since I sent an offer of 4 keys pure to the real person to buy his scattergun. He also claimed that they were "duped keys" which is why he was doing this. I called him out like the scammer he was and he started to deny that he was in the wrong. He said he used a website called "tf2id.com", I refused to look it up because there a hijacking method going around where if you log into a website using your steam account, the scammer gets your username and password and tries to steal your account. I shut him down the a bit of profanity and ever since that message, he has not responded, making it very obvious that he was trying to scam.​

    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!
