    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

    Click here to view an animated gif that shows how to report a violation.

    Your comment about
    .. well the user gave you a FAKE PHISHING SITE.
    That means the report is invalid per policy. Doesn't matter if they were doing anything else since for all we know or you is that that account was already hijacked and used to phish you and others. If you know it was against policy to review then there was no reason to make the report - report the user to Valve and let them handle it.
    Please review that policy link above so you are aware of this in the future.
    This is the 2nd report you've made that was clearly a phishing issue in the last month or so... if you continue to do so when the link was clearly given to you twice now to review/read then you may lose the ability to submit reports here.
