You have encountered something similar to me.
We are receiving spam for user friend requests with almost the same name.
I contacted Steam and ignored friend requests.┐(´Θ`)┌
After recently applying for a friend as a SteamGifts user, I've witnessed ways to lead to annoyances, so it's correct to not add unfamiliar people to your friends list.
Avoid adding members of the same group if you don't know their personality.

I pretty much never accept friend invites but I'm always seeing if they have a Steamgifts account first.

I got "add request" twice from a similar "xxnb3" profile in the last few weeks.

The guy is just looking for new friends, why do you have to be so hard on him.

I don't, but my brother seems to be a magnet for these bots, every week or so he has 1~2 random invites from asian profiles, mostly chinese.

Yup, I usually receive a whole bunch of these suspicious friend requests over a couple of days and then nothing at all. Gotta give them credit for making the bots super-easy to detect though, always using slight variations of the same name and whatnot :D

oof, already calling names... using "autist' as an insult... Okay...
And yes, I don't mind joking about tragedies. There's nothing much wrong with dark humour.
Joking about it doesn't make a person unsympathetic or doing it to offend.
Stop acting so entitled, it's annoying and doesn't help anyone.

Got over five invites recently past month or so from the xxnb username variations. At first I just blocked them but now reported them twice, hopefully, Steam manages to do something about it or limit the number of friend invites you can send with such a low level / limited steam account.

Those are prostitution advertisements written in Chinese with a link of an unknown / suspicious website. (obviously I didn't try and I am not gonna try)
Those are bot accounts.
You may report any of them.
I received some invites with those words / links in the username and I know Chinese so I am able to tell what the words mean.

On a serious note though, i sometimes get like 20 invites in 1 hour, not sure what it is, but feels like some kind of ddos attack. Those are usually weird bots with a couple of free to play games played and 0 account level.
