Your Steam ID is STEAM_0:1:49956817, not xdylpicklex. Please edit your post to include this information with the edit button at the bottom of your post.

Phishing is a very serious offense - stealing login credentials for an entire account is a very severe form of theft. Your post shows that you were not only aware that your actions were unjust and illegal, but that willfully did so. Attempted murder is just as serious as murder, the only difference is that one scenario happened to succeed. The intentions are the same.

Additionally, please edit your post to describe exactly what you were doing - how were you trying to phish people? What steps did you take to attempt to attract victims? etc.

The banning admin will be with you shortly, thank you for posting.

Just read over this... sounds like you don't think you did anything wrong... and your phishing website is still online.

Thank you for making a Ban Appeal. However, ^ still applies.

You knowingly did something wrong, cruel, illegal, and come back trying to claim that what you did is a lesser crime? Allow me to point you towards the Steam Subscriber Agreement you signed when you first started on Steam.

When you came onto our servers to trade, you had a choice, to either trade or play, with honesty and integrity. It is not a rule, it is an expectation, all traders must meet expectations, here or in other trading communities. Those that do not, pay the consequences, and these are non-negotiable. You tried to de-fraud and hijack other users' accounts, you falsely and knowingly advertised this link, and you showed dishonesty through the use of that link and website. You've done all of the above without a reasonable doubt, thus why your ban will stay. You had a choice, now you have to live out the consequences.
