Steam Support might take it, I imagine. Report him from his profile, include pictures of the chat log, etc.

It simulates the steamcommunity login page. If you put your name and password then you're screwed.

Doubt it. I've heard of this scam before, and each time it was mentioned, the same typo would always be a dead giveaway that the site was fake.

Did you unlock an achievement for avoiding phishing scam?

just happened the same to me.
I guess i shouldnt post the chatlog or his steam profile, cuz its forbidden on SG?
Anyways, i clicked the link cuz there's people adding me constantly for trades.
I changed my password as soon as i detected the phishing link.
I reported it to Steam and Google.
Should i worry about it?

As long as you changed your password and you're sure they didn't change any settings (email, etc) or buy anything from your account, you should be safe. Stuff like your credit card info isn't shown in full, so they can't get enough data to use it. It is possible they used your account to try and draw in other people though. But if like you said, you changed your password immediately, they probably didn't have time to do anything.

This has been around for some time. Not sure why someone doesn't shut down/revoke their URL.

Because another page would be created just after. Different yes but not less good.

You can't really "ban" urls... what should happen is that Steam tries to get the site offline and then takes ownership of it. to put up their own server there to inform you that it's the wrong url or just forward you. Like google does with gogle, gooogle, etc. Or just buy it and let it lead to nowhere which would be similar to banning i guess...
You could do something similar for yourself by messing with your hosts file but I'm not going to try to explain it here cause I'm afraid of seeming like I'm trying to scam people ;)

You should still change your password as a matter of protection if you haven't done already.

If people are dumb enough to fall for the trick they deserve it. It's a well known trick and yet people keep falling for it and they act all surprised when they fall for it and their account gets hacked because they have no security on it. We have these security barriers for our protection so if people don't use them they are taking a risk.

Eh, if I don't have any trades up, I deny anyone who adds me without commenting the reason on my profile. Also I keep saying this everywhere, if the link you click on steam chat is a VALID steam link, it will open in your client not browser. And if you see this on a link that appears to be steam link, it's fake.

I literally - just like 10 seconds ago, read a post about the exact same scam method on another forum and saw this. So ironic that it's so popular but there are people still falling for this.
As for the report part, you can report him to steamrep.com with the chat screenshot and his profile link.

Something I submit into Steamrep threads on phishers occasionally. Applies here as well, I think:
If you want to do something about phishing sites, go to http://domainwhitepages.com/ or another whois service to find out the domain registrar and hosting provider. Then contact both via their abuse email addresses listed there or directly on their websites.
If you post a report like this here, it's good to have a record, but nothing will happen, except someone else like me maybe informing the hosting provider. This is also addressed to you, random passer-by. Report phishing pages to the hosting companies, not just Steamrep! Hosting companies are the people who can remove them, not Steamrep!
Also report it as an unsafe site in your browser and to these:
http://toolbar.netcraft.com/report_url
https://submit.symantec.com/antifraud/phish.cgi
http://www.phishtank.com/
https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
http://phishing.eset.com/report

Wow... such story, very tragic.
Bro,at least 5 people for day add me with the pishing site xD
Just say to him "Reported for pishing", take a screen, upload it to imgur, edit it so only the chat appear, get the link, enter the user steam page, report violation, select pishing and paste the link.
Dunno if valve do something with them, but i always report them

I will tell you the story: yesterday a guy added me. I was curious because I didn't have an open trade. He was from Australia apparently so I couldn't see him online much time and today, the guy talked to me and told me his friend wanted to add me on Steam but he couldn't because Steam gave him an error. He passes me the profile link of his friend and I noticed the link had : "steamcomnnunity" so it was probably a pishing link.
Is there any place I can report these kind of behaviours?
