[SteamPSA] Got a friend request from these 3 guys?

[KillerCop311]

The people below appear to send friend requests at random (don't know how they get profiles), and say a friend has a "offer", and sends them to a link not on Steam at all. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK, IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY A SCAM OR VIRUS.

This is what Kondor sends, the others may send it:


http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993496638 - Bandit 01

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197964096897 - Kondor

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198002525366 - [unassigned]

There appear to be multiple duplicates of the exact profile names, which can only mean 1 thing:

These are mass bots attempting to scam others.

If you have randomly got a FR from ANY of them (I got one from all 3), remove and report them -immediately.-

They even have -rep phisher, scammer, and other things in their profile comments which haven't been removed, probably since they're bots. Most either have 1 game, or none.

Beware. Also, Steamreps:
http://steamrep.com/search?q=76561197993496638 - Bandit 01 (no scammer/rep status)

http://steamrep.com/search?q=76561197964096897 - Kondor (appears to be broken? could be me)

http://steamrep.com/search?q=76561198002525366 - [unassigned] (also broken, could be me)

EDIT: blotted out the link to prevent others from being harmed, steam me if you want the real deal

Ok you guys have no idea. Literally, a different one adds me each day

I've reported maybe 50-80 accounts so far for phishing

I usually don't add people unless I met them in a game/IRL/on a forum

But yeah I've gotten a few of those

[Lugnut]

I haven't gotten any?
I wonder if they only target people playing certain games.

I know they target me through tf2outpost.com, and it's also because I have an unusual

i think i added one of these linked profiles once but it actually seemed capable of human speech (ie it provided a steam name and not a link and it seemed to have some response to questions)
what exactly would be the reprocussions of that
the trade actually went fine with no tricks or anything oddly enough

[Foxscotch]

I only accept friend requests if I recognize the name
on that same note, I don't get any friend requests from people whose names I don't recognize
