People sending me random friend requests on steam

They are trying to reach you concerning your vehicle's extended warranty.

It's because you add people with high levels to your list and you leave your inventory public. The bots get their friends list and add everyone they have, and keep going trying to find someone to scam.

Edit: I wouldn't be so sure about where the accts are from, as you can list whatever location you want on steam.

Public inventory is why.

Oh that's a normal day if you got items for dota2, csgo, tf2 that are worth anything, they either beg or try to scam you.
Friendly advice, leave a disclaimer on your profile next to your name to leave a reason for adding u in the comments otherwise u ignore them. And just bang that ignore button for every one of them.

I have had people try and trade with me and my son for cards for items but when I say send me an offer they usually try and take every single card from me and give me a banana or egg form those clicker games - never did the trade but be careful

They’re trying to warn you about scammers.

That's happening a lot to me too. I try to accept everyone and asking the reason of the request. Sometimes they just want to chat I made few friends like that. They are nice people but sometimes just want to scam or for +1 friend. That's all. Nothing so special.

People can add you for all kinds of reasons.
I've had people add me because they like my profile, they want to get an achievement for a game we both have, they want to trade, chat, ....

Normally those people put a message on my profile telling me what they want.
Recently someone tried to add me without a message. So I asked them why on their profile.
Turns out they were trying to get people to review the game they made. Which was a first, and definitely not appreciated. Not without a message first.

I have the same experience! In 99% of the case, so far, it's low level accounts (level 2-12) with Cyrillic profiles and descriptions adding me out of the blue and wanting to scam me out of a game or game item.

Same, nowadays i ask ppl to leave the reason why in the profile page but they seem to be saying the same thing (and sometimes it doesnt sound like a reason of why they are doing that)

For some reason, all those random adds have csgo, dota and tf2 as their last played games, 5000 hours in each of them, 500 hours played in the last 24 hours, they have less than 10 paid games on their account and they have pictures of hot women that you can date in your neighborhood as their avatar and artwork display and their name is anastasiya.
