Man, why are you writing in English? I... we're both Polish!
<no response from the bot>
Yeah, like other people have pointed out here this seems to be a possibility. Their creators hope that we forget about them, so that when thay actually try to scam you they are more effective

These people send you phising links that steal your stuff .... another way is that they copy the profile details of your closest friends and then ask you for stuff that they want to use in a game

They all phish you eventually. Give them about a week, then they'll change avatars/names and send a link.

Over the last few months I've been getting added on Steam by what I understand are bots. They have level 0 private account and a random avatar. The strange thing is: unlike other bots it seems that they don't try to scam me. I open up chat with them and ask them what they want. They don't respond. Usually a short time after I add them (about 1 minute) they go offline (after 2 days they still don't go online so I just remove them). They started adding me when I started to write on Steam game's discussion pages (I wasn't an active forums user before but I thought "why not help this person that has a simple question about a game/ needs hep that I can provide"). Now I'm kind of getting suspicious because I have totally no idea what they want. I'm just curious why someone would create bots that JUST ADD YOU and don't try to scam you/ steal something from your account. Has any of you also encountered these bots or am I the only one? I've searched on Google about it but I could only find threads about bots that actually DO something.
TL;DR: Random bots add me then go offline and never return. Any idea what they want?
