I get this invites several times per week or two weeks, it's normal, probably stolen accounts made into bots to steal more.

Anything below level 10 I automatically block. The amount of bots adding me has gotten that bad.

How could a could you lose something from your inventory by accepting a friend request?

You were visited by the spooky ghost of Steam past

it's a ghost

Well don't be sad, I rarely get any friend requests at all :P

I guess he/she found someone else, that is willing to help him with it´s heritage of a [enter random country] prince.

hahaahahahahahahahah

mwuhahahahahaahhahaah

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Well, I think it's obvious.

It's that dead dude from steam creepy pasta

I once tried to befriend someone once. But I was scared so I punched him.
This is probably how that other user is.

Eleven years on Steam here and have seen many (similar) things. My 2 bits: when in doubt report and block, don't click on any links given to you by unknown users, be vigilant and try not to be distracted and/or curious, make sure that your Steam account has the maximum level of protection and use common sense to spot dodgy and shady users.

If it's on Steam or on SG, there will always be wolves disguised as sheep hiding in the flock of sheeps...

I don't accept obvious bots like these normally, but I once accepted one and that same thing happened, I got unfriended minutes afterwards ._.

Do you have your inventor private? Maybe the bot added you to know if you were worth scammin? Idk... D:

I had something similar happen to me. Got a friend request from someone who had a legit profile (was level 20ish or something) but no friends in common and all seemed normal. So I accepted their request, sent them a message like "sup" and got unfriended, haha.

such disappointment

Normally I don't accept random friends requests, but I had one of those recently, from an account that had the name of an RL friend (only first time) and an avatar that was from something that I know that this friend likes, thought the games did not quite match the kind of games that I know that she enjoys. Figured that it could not hurt to at least make sure that I did not accidentally deny the friends request from someone I know. Person sat there, offline, apparently came online at some point and went offline again (changed to Last Online: 1 min ago), and then just removed me from its friends list after about 30min.

He is shy!

He probably friended the wrong person

i have a lot of friends who dont pay 5 usd, and steam acc is locked, but there r a lot of bots who all time try to add me (no games, no items)

how its possible ? is it possible to add all my friends? (bots can, and i want same)

If you think that was strange read this

I currently have 3 people in my friends list who added me out of nowhere and have never made any attempt to contact me. They have stayed dormant in my friends list for years now. I think at least one of them used to be on this site regularly, but I don't recall interacting with them at all. Either way, they can stay there as long as they like, or until they decide to make a nuisance of themselves.

Any recent random friendings have been obvious phishing bots, which I add, wait for the inevitable message 1 minute later, then report, remove and block.

Probably a random bot or some guy added you by accident.

I have a few people on my friends list, sure i would like more friends to play with but the must be at least a level 5 and must show signs of life. i just dont want people adding me who are just there to spam links to things and stuff, as for your story, this kinda thing obviously happens a lot

He be creepin' your profile. :v

I once had a Russian add me to play CS:GO...
I told him... I don't own CS:GO -_-
Friendship ended.
