    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [Other] Other game items

    Accused profile: 76561198198245917

    Victim profile: 76561198209202551

    What happened? Description:
    I have him in my friends list, although I'm not sure of the origin (maybe by playing, trade? I don't know). He approached me in a steam chat saying he had accidentally reported me for duped items, and said he could make sure my account didn't get banned. He requested that I give him my username to sign in for this, and pressured me saying I didn't have alot of time left to give it to him. During the making of this report, he unfriended me.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Chat log of him initiating contact with me and asking for my username, and his profile, and as mentioned before, once I stopped responding to him he unfriended me​

    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!
