How often do people try to scam you on steam?

One guy with a lot of -rep, a not send GA, and private profile added me today, idk why is he still not banned here.

At least he was not the typical scam bot, that add me multiple times per week.

usually not so much, maybe 1 or 2 every week, however for the last 5 days i get about 4-5 different people adding me on steam every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! these are bots or something and try to get me to open a web link, so i block them

Meanwhile the poor legit level 0 guy on Steam just trying to make new friends feels like the desperate nigerian prince who wants to give free money...

View attached image.

my friend wants to add you but couldn't is what I get most of the time but thats perhspa 2 or 3 times a month

All the time then I bumped in tf2outpost :D

I got scammed in my early days, but havent really had any attempt again since.

I receive a lot of invites from [unassigned] and level 0 people, recently some changed the speech to something like "we held a giveaway in our group and you won, please add a second admin to claim your prize: [link]..."

It's getting tedious...

I get at least 20+ level 0 adds when im actively trading in tf2. When not trading about 1-5.

I keep getting friend requests from people with Level 0 private profiles and scam link comments.... and every single time I have to check Steamgifts and other giveaways to see if I won something before ignoring this person... Real annoying...

I've wrote a small message on my profile: if somebody uses a private account and wants to add me, s/he should leave a notice beforehand on my profile. And yet at average 1-2 private profiles add me each day. After my little message I don't have to think about "But what if it's not a bot" - either a bot, or can't read a relatively easy, short sentence. Either way it's better for me without them :D

Lately I've been getting multiple friend requests each day. If the profile is private and level zero I block it instantly.

Lvl 0 invities and comments on profile every day multiple times, i wish Lord G would do something about it.

I don't get the messages everyday, but I do get invites, multiple times. When a scammer posts a comment on my profile I go to theirs, report for attempted trade scam and block all communication. It's just a symbolic thing though, what's reporting/blocking one twat's gonna do when there are endless waves of them? Sure, Valve can't eradicate every single one with a command line and a click, but for the quantity of scammers on steam, it feels like not a whole bunch of fucks are being given.

My friend once posted a big dick in my comments, but thats all xD

Few times a week. Adding every one of them, reporting and blocking after they send me messages or comments

Have you met my friend Gaara?

Multiple times a day. I get 1-2 friend request per day from 0-1 lvl accounts.

Steam should really not allow any account which has not purchased games or has not been registered for a year to send a friend request. Want friends? Buy or wait a year. So simple yet so hard.

Ca carrot cake !

I have never been added by a random level 0 steam account, or had anyone try to scam me. Should I feel left out? clearly I am not worthy.

The scammers it's a person with multi-account or bot??

Rarely, but I get a few from time to time.

As far as I know, the amount you receive is according to trading websites you frequently use, such as TF2Outpost.

everyday, everytime, and sometimes when I'm sleeping.

Yeah I was the target of a scam maybe once every two weeks. Started playing TF 2 and now im getting at least 2 a day.
