    What happened? Description:
    This guy added me saying he wished to buy my knife and he was willing to overpay for it, he then told me to list it on opskins with the price I wanted and he would buy it with WAX tokens. We waited for about 10 minutes before he said the tokens were ready and then proceeded to link me this edited screenshot (Image attached below):

    I quickly realised by doing a google search that this personal API key was a way to get a hold of my opskins account and so I caught up to his acted, he played dumb as if he didnt know what was happening.​

    Due to changes in our investigative policy, we do not accept phishing/hijacking reports anymore. As such, I am archiving this report.

    Please keep in mind that users posting phishing links are often phished/hijacked themselves (if not a brand new throwaway account) and their account is being used to try and hijack even more accounts. For that reason, it's best to leave these cases to Valve/Steam as we do not have the resources to handle such cases. Additionally, the victim would have to appeal their tag once they regained access to their account.

    We recommend you report the accused to Valve. In order to do that, you have to:

    1. Visit the accused's profile
    2. Click the 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.

    In addition, we have a (work in progress) guide on recovering from account hijackings, including what happened in your case. I recommend looking it over, contacting Steam Support about your items, and updating/running your anti-virus.
