lately i've gotten a lot of random accounts with private profiles adding me and sending just one message asking to "trade", but the link they give is a keylog to get into your system or something.

obviously not convincing unless you're retarded but how come there seems to be more phishers around recently?

they found out a lot of people are stupid enough to click the link, they focus on tf2outpost traders i think

The average intelligence of your typical trader is pretty low so I can't imagine it being hard to phish them. I mean, just look at how often "pls help I was scammed" threads pop up.

csgolounge, tf2outpost and dota2lounge. These are the main trading websites where these bots pick players or what ever, I think when you bump your trade the bot picks you out(every time I bump, its friend invite galore). Although there are some really random adds from time to time. If the profile is private or has a small steam level, maybe very few hours on games or not many friends, just block it.

I've been getting a shit ton of random adds from people I don't know since I sold some CSGO stuff on the market. It's getting quite old, honestly.

I haven't even used outpost for a year and I'm still getting 3-5 fresh private profiles adding me a day, so there has to be something additional they're going through as well.

Probably a bot to scan backpacks for unusuals, earbuds, loads of keys.
