If you're not friends with them (friends only profiles)/they have a private profile their level will show up as 0. Even if it's not actually 0.
Example:
Public profile
Private profile

Me. Specially from private profiles. Checked the first ones on steam rep, nothing. Started ignoring declining them for bulk.
Thought it was because CSGO. IDK but if it seems fishy, it probably is!

Yes, indeed. One added me a while ago, owned just one game, too.
I accepted and sent him a chat asking him what he wanted. I kept messaging him for five minutes, without any reply, so I just deleted him.

It's a phishing scam. You are mostly getting added by them if you are using TF2 Outpost. It's quite a big problem now.

Six already (always you see "unassigned" as user name on the invite), funny thing I noticed. The first was like 4-5 days ago, get the blah-blah-blah and the fake link almost instantly I noticed it was a scam and reported it, 10 mins later the same again (reported again), 5 min later one more but didn't accepted this time. Yesterday I got one, accepted, blah-blah, reported. 10 min later another invite didn't accept this time. Got one today, didn't accept and I didn't get more invites. It looks like if you accept the first invite more of this guys try to add you, but if you reject they stop (maybe was just coincidence, idk). Still, not all of them were lvl 0 accounts and some of this guys have hundreds of games on Steam, idk why you will risk yourself to get banned like that (but, maybe were stolen accounts).

I get random friend requests all the time, not only from lelev 0 users, but from people i don't know and have no friends/groups in common.
I never accept.
These bots probably just scan the biggest groups or websites like this one, and start adding everybody to scam, somebody always falls for it.

What if it's a Nigerian prince trying to wire you his fortune to escape his country? Will you miss a once-in-a-lifetime chance like that??

Whenever I use a trade forum. It doesn't really effect me as I only accept people I met IRL or have spoken too online/in-game. Got some really terrible trade offers from them as well, sometime it an obvious scam or just someone who doesn't understand value or anything at all really.

Problem is some ppl falls for it and gets its account hijacked. I just received a message from a friend asking me to add his 'other' profile 'cause he is interested in my items. the link for the steamcommunity has a typo, directs to a clone of steamcommunity (the second 'm' in community is a 'r' - won't post the link for obvious reasons).

I just block them now. All coming from TF2 outpost. Valve has to do somethign about them.

Lately I have been getting a few friend request from people with 0 Steam level. I just press ignore with those. Anyone ever accepted them? And are they just bots or scammers?
