Block or ignore them, I have more blocked users than friends because of these bots.

I've got about 6 friend requests from lvl 0 accounts today itself. It's really annoying but theres not much you can do about it, You could leave all the public groups that you are in since that is from where these scammers find your account in the first place.

Just block them or change settings to no longer accept new invites but might be a problem if you win a giveaway since how can they contact you?

That's the problem. I just want to avoid these useless invitations. It's easy to recognize scammer bots since they are all level 0, they give the same reply if you add them and talk to them. Sometimes they even try to add a link in a comment in your profile (that you shouldn't ever click on it). These people are awfully desperated in scamming.
From now on I don't add them anymore, I just block them. But when they add me it's 5 invitations consecutively for 2 or 3 minutes. You can guess my reaction if someone adds me: "I won a giveaway". No way.

Do you have a csgolounge account and/or traded through it, or any other 3rd party service for trading for that matter? I didnt start getting these really until I used csgolounge just once. The people that make these probably use public info about your steam profile from places like csgolounge to find people with an account that likely has csgo and therefore skins of some kind to steal.
My advice is to learn to ignore/block all level 0 or 1 and private profiles. If you win a giveaway here check through the site first, it cant be rerolled until a week has passed and you can always refriend or unblock them.

I only use tf2 scrap, but the traders are safe trading bots and I never had any trouble with it.
But I joined some groups related to CS:GO like WarOwl, CSGOShop.

- add every spam/phising bot, who might add everyone on your list
- follow all links to their respective fake website, and install every handy program being offered
- log in on the fake steam site or just paste in your login info + mail + mail pw.
- keep them as friends and their their phising comments forever in your comment section
- profit
simple as that ... funny enough some people still manage lol

I don't trade, I don't game and I'm not friendly. Works for me.

Give them what they want.....jk i think ignore/block is the best solution atm at least till steam figure out a way to stop these spammers.

everyone needs to forward this problem to valve and hope they do something about it like allow you to ignore low lvl requests

Leave all your groups and stop using your account at websites like tf2outpost or csgolounge.

set it so that you can only receive friend requests from friends kappa

You can't really do anything to stop it, unless Valve does something, which they won't.
Just block ever level 0 profile by default and you'll be fine.

Best thing to do....is litterally do nothing.
You see; I had around 20 requests pending torwards me; I wanted it to add up so I could brag "Hey! 100 people want to add me!". But anyways one day they just...dissapeared, it was right around 20 invites. Apparently, when you have to many invites Steam auto-ignores them.
TL;DR: Do nothing.

I had one go away recently too. I thought there might be a time limit or something. 5 or 7 days, can't quite remember, but it was about that long then it just vanished. If you had 20 go away all at the same time then maybe not, unless you got all 20 requests on the same day which seems uinlikely.

I also have CSGO in my library. And I play it. And I trade. I don't seem to have your problem, however. Perhaps it's because I ignore all unsolicited friend requests?
Comment has been collapsed.
Since CS:GO is in my library, I'm getting weird friend invitations of level 0 Steam accounts.
It's indeed scammers using a bot creating fake accounts to steal your inventory.
However, at start it wasn't critical. Now I'm getting atleast 5 invitations per day, some with the same name or [unassigned]
It bothers me pretty much to stop my game and block them one by one. At this time, I have blocked 103 of these scammer bots.
I don't trade, I just play CS:GO, I don't have any knife, neither any expensive weapon. What does Steam can do against that ?
Putting my profile or my inventory into private doesn't change anything.
