    @eFFy -iwnl- I see no evidence here that the user did anything of what you stated with intent to defraud.
    Where is this evidence? I only see chatting back and forth.

    @eFFy -iwnl- You were clearly online after I made that post...please do not ignore it. If you do not have any evidence showing intent then just reply saying so.
    You have 24hours to follow up - failure to do so may result in you no longer being able to submit reports here.

    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

    Click here to view an animated gif that shows how to report a violation.
