    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561199212385547

    Victim profile: 76561198166629407

    What happened? Description:
    This user is attempting to impersonate a well-known trader/buyer/seller by claiming that his/her account is a 'discussion account' that they only use for the purpose of discussing trades and sales.

    The user specifically attempted to get me to click a link to a market I had never heard of, noting that I should connect my Steam account to the website, likely in an attempt to engage in an API scam or similar.

    Screenshots of the conversation in question attached. Apologies that I do not have the chat text to copy/paste. I blocked the user before copying the log.

    Thank you,
    Alex W​

    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!
    This was clearly noted to you BEFORE You sent to submit the report - please do not ignore our policies/notifications that are there to read before submission.

    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
