    @Papa Burny Please be sure to verify sites users give you - this one is clearly a phishing site with a fake steam login.
    Therefore we do not take reports for this or review these types of reports.
    As soon as the user gave you this link that classifies it as phishing and outside of policy.
    aside from that I have no proof and can't verify anything from the users profile as its now private so can't confirm any impersonation WITH intent to defraud.

    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
