    What happened? Description:
    On November 10th, this user sent a message in one of my screenshots: "Sorry for bothering you but can you add me on steam? I have something to tell you, Its very important, Hope you will noticed me. TRADE IS NOT INVOLVED".

    So, I did add the user. Unfortunately, I wasn't sure about the kind of attempt scammer I was dealing and didn't take a Steam chat screenshot. This user starts the chat asking if I was busy. Then the user relates that did a deal with an account with the same avatar and nickname to me.

    > "asks if I have an alternate account";
    > "lost hundred of dollars";
    > I ask for profs (date, item, screenshot, etc);
    > The user didn't answer me;
    > Unfriend/deleted me;
    > Chat logs erased.​

    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
