I've been getting a lot of invites to groups I've never heard of from people I've never spoken to on Steam recently as well. :S
It's probably because of the amount of games that we have on Steam. Most of the people doing the inviting and the admins of these groups have like 15 games and most are F2P games at that... Probably just looking to get free games.

I reported one these inviters once. Their name format prevented you from linking to their profile, which was blocked anyway. 3 hours after I reported them, their name was changed to something generic/placeholder and they were suspended. Steam never contacted me about it though.

Constantly. And sometimes French ones. I actually just got an invite to that group you linked a couple hours ago. lol

Getting those too, mostly from people that make money such way (it said so in their profiles). Especially annoying because I can't play multiplayer games anyway, due to my bad internet connection.

Yes, and random other groups too. It's gotten to the point that I wrote on my profile for them to stop bugging me but, hey, who the hell reads that when mass adding people nowadays. -.-
And it's even more annoying and stupid when they invite you to some random chat. But at least then you can go in and call them a bunch of pests. ^_^

Because I've been receiving these for months now. The pattern is always the same: some random invites me to a group that I have nothing to do with, have no friends in, don't understand a word of what they're about, and it's always in Russian. This was the latest one. It's been ages since I last played a multiplayer game on a public server, so that can't be where they're coming from. Right now I'm more curious than annoyed, although that could change if it gets worse. Anyone else receiving mystery invites to Russian groups?
Update: Looks like these are scripted mass invites.
