Im not calling out or anything, im just interested how many bots\scammers\impersonators do people encounter.
A 16 year old kid (soon 17, or at least i think, because his custom steam id url was his birthday date LOL) tried to scam me, and he dared to link the guy who he impersonates, after i told him impersonating is a crime, he instablocked me and made his profile private Q_Q , next time i wanna prank them more, do you guys have any tips or tricks? xD

I went for a whole two weeks with not one idiot adding me, but it's sure ramping up now with the sale inbound. Averaging five bots a day, and usually two beggars. Fun times :D

Wow, you are lucky to encounter a living person. I only get added by shadow accounts, which are controlled by bots, so I can't trick them. Just block and report :/

I usually see 4-5 per week, and I really don't do any trading and nothing really worthwhile in my inventory. it started about 6 months ago or so.

Just ignore friend request and then block.

It's not calling out, he's impersonating other guy and I even state that in the screen itself. But yeah, better safe than sorry, image edited.

Nope.
Because I don't have fancy cs:go knife so scamming me is kinda pointless.

Only once two years ago. Guy from Nigeria maked an profile looks like valve member etc, and asked me for security password blah blah. In that case, i waited one week to get back my account. At least my email was safe, so was an chance to get it back. :) I was fooled once, and never again. But yeah few weeks ago i was got still spambots, scammers etc. For now good that Valve fixed it, but i worred for how long.
