New Hijacker Bot: tyjuk3ef
Less than 3 seconds after I bumped one of my trades I got a trade request from a user named "tyjuk3ef". Checked the account and it of course was private, decided to friend anyway to see if it was legit and the guy/girl (/bot as it turned out) just kept their inventory private to hide their good items.

Immediately after hitting accept, got this message:

tyjuk3ef: hey mate my friend wants to trade with you but he cant add you (steam error )add him please steamcomnunrty.com/id/76561198069779786/

Trained to see things like this I pointed out the fake steam name (obvious as hell) and reported to Valve and blocked the account. I fear this bot is targeting several new posts until the account gets banned so PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR THIS USER AND DO NOT ACCEPT ANY STEAM LINKS BEFORE MAKING SURE THEY ARE THE REAL WEBSITE!!

Inform any people on Steam of this username and tell them do not accept any links given by this bot. Thank God hijackers are running out of links to use so they become a bit more obvious as time goes on.

Same happened to me: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/discussions/forum/7/540744934593055760/

Just report and hope they do something.

If they have an account on the site submit a ticket. However most likely they don't as phishers don't use the site directly so there's nothing that can be done. Just report them to Valve and move on.
