I'm really curious about this as I get a message with a clearly fake adres and a message about how their friends wants to add you or that you have won something. I'm so irritated by this shit and I hope Valve takes some action soon.
Also what is the type of message you get most? For me it's the "my friend wants to add you but couldn't' message today I got the "you won something clcik here" message for the first time.

One russian guy posted a dubious image link on my profile as his offer for my inventories. I loled a little, because all my steam gifts are region locked and proceed with deleting the link.

I usually just get friend request from fake accounts. Sometimes I'll get a comment posted to my profile asking me to click a link (which I promptly delete).

You know, I've been doing GAs and Trades for a while now and was actually doing well regarding this, maybe 3 attempts over the last 9 - 12 months......Until today. Over the last 5 hours, and I shit you not, I've had 14 level-0 accounts trying to add me

From what I understand any private account will show up as lvl 0. Someone on my friend list has set their profile to private and shows up as lvl 0 but when I look them up on steamrep they're like lvl 20 something.

Almost never, a guy tried to but I was aware of the "scammer behaviour". He was an impersonator, I just used steamtrades to see the REAL profile of the trader and he hadn't the same level so... Not really a good scammer.

2 or 3 guys also asked me to give them some games...

whever I bump my trades on tf2op, I get 2 or 3 friend invites from level 0 accounts - which get immediately declined, so it's not really a scam attempt .. or is it? :P

Lately I've gotten a few friend requests from private profile level 0 accounts, but every time I accept the friend request they're never online, so I just delete them & move on.

I left most of the groups on steam that I don't visit anymore and that helped a lot.Haven't got any scammers for 3 days now! Unbelievable!
