having been away from Steam for a while i have come back to getting lots of random player friend invites. i always check their profile, and, if hidden/private, or devoid of a UKCS tag, i instantly reject. common sense, really. just it is happening so frequently from Steam level 1's with hidden profiles (usually a comedy/cartoon Gaben profile pic or similar). i'm guessing they're clearly scams/scammers of some sort, but, what's it all about?
also, what are people doing to avoid getting all these sort of invites? i'm on about 1 or 2 a day, almost. i don't want to go private/block all for trading and other reasons. is it just a case of dealing with it?
