    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561199220144063

    Victim profile: 76561198077899958

    What happened? Description:
    The scammer contacted me through a comment on one of my screenshots asking me to add them, they then accused me or a copy of my profile of scamming them of 36 TF2 keys. I explained that it could not have been me and they say they have already reported me and sent me an image of a fake steam report order request that explained that I need to contact a steam admin on steam and discord in order to remove the report from my profile. I checked their backpack.tf profile to see if they ever actually had any keys and if they did to see who impersonated me. They ended up never having more than $10 worth of items in their inventory at once and no keys so I just confirmed what I already knew was sketchy. they sent what I assume is a fake steam profile to me which I did not click and told me to add them on steam and discord. I confronted them to which they unfriended and probably blocked me. I did not attempt to contact the linked account on discord or even click the link they sent in case it is malicious.​

    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!
    These are also threats in nature and are not to be reported here - this account is likely hijacked.

    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
