    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198850817987

    Victim profile: 76561198059385185

    What happened? Description:
    The user in question has initiated a MP.TF bot scam!

    I deposited a Kill-a-Watt Milkman and a Terror-Watt Tippler's Tricorne (Approximately $80-85 total) to the Marketplace.TF bots about 50 minutes ago at the time and they didn't arrive at the site.

    What's weirder is that that my mobile confirmation says that I canceled the MP.TF bot and deposited it into a Scrap.TF User Storage which I never went to (It appeared as a MP.TF bot on my mobile device; extremely likely a bot switch).

    I believe this might be the worst-case scenario of phishing...
    (Already changed my password, reset my Steam API Key, and did a full PC Scan as of now)​

    You failed to mention that the user tried to get you to go to a phishing site - clearly against our policy for which we review.

    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
