    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198967515091

    Victim profile: 76561198419413697

    What happened? Description:
    I am filing this report on the victim's behalf, since he was on mobile at the time of my filing this report.

    The accused ripped him off via Discord, impersonating Steam developer Grueben via the steam identification scam, then further attempted to screw him over by trying to lock him out of his account. The scammer immediately funneled everything into their account and made their profile private.

    First off we do NOT review 3rd party reports - Declining on that alone. Please do not submit reports here for others!
    Have them take it up with Valve if they have lost control of the account for any reason.
    Lastly , SteamRep does not accept reports dealing with hijacking/phishing/hacking -Due to current Investigative Policy
    http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/investigative-policy.140101/
    This situation is almost always a hijacked account involved.

    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
