well, atm these phishing bots can bypass steam guard so unless steam add some kind of for example mobile authenthication (why the hell they didn't do so so far?) it won't save you. Atm these sites will DL you an executable file called SteamGuard.exe or something like that, and this file is a malware that copies SSFN files (SteamGuard verification files) from your steam folder and sends them to phisher. Using them he can easily bypass SteamGuard pretending to use your vberified client. Just don't click these links and move along, thats all you can do atm (reporting won't change much either, how hard is it to create next few dozens alt phishing accounts?).

you should not report those accounts, they are victims that fell to the phishing..

You're wrong not to report them. How will they know about it if you don't report them? Steam support can help the hijacked user, and stop the phisher at the same time.

I heard that after the people that fell for this phishing got their account back they had to deal with the support again to remove the reports..
