    What happened? Description:
    After starting a trade negotiation with me through Steam, this person attempted to stage a hostage situation with my account, pretending to have access to it despite me not sharing anything but a trade link with them. They showed me several screenshots of them having "access" to my info and sent me a fraudulent trade offer in exchange for control of my account back. I blocked them and declined the trade.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Had blocked them and unfriended them after taking the screenshots, so unfortunately I don't have access to the full chat log, but here's the gist of it: View attachment 718578 View attachment 718579 View attachment 718580 View attachment 718581 View attachment 718582 View attachment 718583 ​

    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!

    You can report the user to Valve instead
    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT
