    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198423686552

    Victim profile: 76561198056839438

    What happened? Description:
    Real Swazzy has a trade up on bazaar that he/she is buying unusual hats. As requested, I commented on real Swazzy's profile that I'm adding him to trade (which is probably how the accused gets his victims). About a minute later, I received a friend invite from fake Swazzy, with a private profile and a level that does not match the real Swazzy.

    We exchanged greetings, and everything proceeded as can be seen in the screenshots provided.

    My accusation: impersonation with the intent to scam/phish​

    Provide Evidence:

    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
