Getting a lot friend requests from low level private profiles

leave the shitty groups

Probably is for the best just ignore them for now, if someone write to you for explane who he is or if in the future you see the accounts level up and/or become less shady you can accept the request -maybe.

I've also been getting a bunch of those, nothing new, they're just bots trying to scam you. They used to be way more common a couple of years ago and then valve implemented the restrictions on trading and their numbers dwindled, I guess the scammers are giving another shot at it, just block them and ignore them untill they go away.

Just ignore/remove them. Phishing and scamming comes to mind.

Just block them instantly like me .They're trying to steal something from all of us .

I usually ignore all friend requests, except if I met that person already (e.g. having had a good time with someone in Rocket League), it's someone I know personally, or it's someone from SG (winner, GA creator etc.). No need for anyone else to acquaint, really.

Getting a lot of them too

jshackles (the dude behind SteamIdleMaster and Enhanced Steam) did a program to auto reject those invite. I don't use it, but could be useful to some people.

i'll just drop a link to my reply to this from last night.

I got one myself a couple of weeks ago. It was also a level 2 private profile. I ignored it at first, but then I blocked it.

Same here with the same characteristics, just report and block...

Just block them.

Yeah this was happening to me too, ever since I left the majority of groups I was in a year and some ago I get at most one request a week.

Reporting each profile by clicking a few times will help if everyone does the same.

Getting this a bit myself. Started about a month ago. I do chase free keys so it is probably the groups I have joined. Could also be my public inventory is fat with cards just waiting for the next lot of holiday cards to start dropping (when i can craft them). If you report them what reason would you put? Have never reported anyone on steam before, never needed to. Just block these ones but am finding they seem to reappear after a few weeks. (how is that possible when I blocked them?)

Block

Just block them immediately and they are most probably coming from your groups.

Never happens to me, apparently I'm not at all popular (my 96 blacklists will attest to this).

This happened to me last week, just last week, i block them all and now it stopped.

Last night, I saw that Steam Inventory Helper for Chrome has this neat feature.
I was tempted to use it, but was too busy playing Factorio.

Continue to block them all. Eventually it will stop. That's what I did.

Same to me. Just keep blocking imidiatly. Also can report for scamming, fishing and spamming invites.)
