We can't report phishing links?

    We stopped taking phishing reports because users posting them are often phished/hijacked themselves (if not a brand new throwaway account) and their account is being used to try and hijack even more accounts. For that reason, it's best to leave these cases to Valve/Steam as we do not have the resources to handle such cases. Additionally, the victim would have to appeal their tag once they regained access to their account. It's best to not create any undue hardship for someone who's already going through an account hijacking.
