XtremGamer Had His Steam Account Hacked, And I Think It Has Something To Do With Adding Someone With The Username "(unassigned)" Xtrem, Did you Get A Friend Request From Someone With That Username? I Did, I Ignored It, Asked A Few People I Know On Steam, And They Said it Was A Scamming Bot. I'll Give You all The Conversation Of It...

this Is The Chat Between SONICTEAM (Aka SnowyTurtlesz) And I (Aka TheInsanityEXEcuter) On Steam.

4:57 PM - TheInsanityEXEcuter: Did you Get A Friend Request From An Unknown Name?
4:57 PM - TheInsanityEXEcuter: (unassigned)
4:57 PM - TheInsanityEXEcuter: That's The Name
4:57 PM - SnowyTurtlesz: Dont add him
4:57 PM - TheInsanityEXEcuter: AKA Someone Named Planky?
4:57 PM - SnowyTurtlesz: ignore it
4:57 PM - TheInsanityEXEcuter: Okay
4:57 PM - TheInsanityEXEcuter: Did You Get A Request From Him?
4:57 PM - SnowyTurtlesz: Its a scamming bot

Anyone Else Having This Problem?

... does this mean I should enable steam security?

I Think The Bigger Problem Is The Way You're Typing It's Really Creeping Me Out!!

But it's usually best to accept invites from people you actually know and/or talked to enough anyways

not unless you're one to randomly accept friend invites imo, so you're basically fine

Occasionally I get invites from friends of friends and my initial reaction is, eh why are you here again? Deeeeleted.
