Random messages from scam bots.
Is this issue currently being looked into by steam? Because i keep getting flooded with messages from scam bots trying to scam me by putting up a link to something or saying that they are from youtube...

Why isn't there a option/feature that auto blocks these messages? I don't want to chat block them, what i do want is these messages not even appearing at all...

This entire bot wave is getting out of controll.

Same for me! Horribly annoying! I found a topic in the internet but Valve just deleted it, idk what's wrong with em ...

Same here. If any Dev reads this please limit the amount of Chat-invites an account can send per day. And/or try to check the accounts which send links as a first message.

this is really annoying , i mean if someone sends me a friend request and the first thing they do is spam with some fake giveaway or whatever , i copy the message into a report window and block them , but being able to recieve messages from bots is so dumb , i dont care about the automated messages from scraptf bots or other bots

Do the links do anything I kinda opened it since it literally had the same name as someone in my friend list but quickly realised it and closed the window and block the dude

I have also this problem: Since yesterday I got 4-5 messages from radnom people who want to say to you go to fake sites or that they are youtubers and some ♥♥♥♥! I also want to block this but don't found an option that can help to stop this float of messages! Does somebody here know to fix that? ;(

I am also getting spammed by these scam bots, I really hope steam is working on this issue

Jesus, same here. Does anyone know how to disable it? I'm getting up to 10-15 messages a day, and they're all from different accounts.

Just put your profile to friends only for now, seems to stop them from messaging you for the time being.

If i were you i'd quickly change your password since the problem of these scam bots relies on you clicking their links. Once you click it, they inject your pc with kelogger/malware/trojan virusses that allow them to ahve acces to your account somehow.

Most of the times its just a phishing site, which want you to login in so they can get your account data (including steam guard account control).. Many people fall for this, sadly... But all in all, nobody should EVER click on a website linked from an unknown person, you should also be suspicious for friends posting some links, because I already experienced that they had some kind of malware which were chatting to all the people from the contact list, with a message content like "uh hey is that you on the picture? Click here! wwwDEFINITELYNOTAVIRUScom"

Nobody should ever fall for this and should inspect a hyperlink before clicking it ... also seen a lot of hyperlinks which were like "steamcomulnity" or obvious ♥♥♥♥ like this ..

To be fair, the only people that still fall for this are either kids or people who don't read the forums at all, they only come at the forums when it's already to late.

The problem is that people seemingly switch their brain off... I almost caught myself one time, "almost" clicking at the above described link with the msg "hey is that you blah blah" because it was a person from my friendlist and the Link also contained my Name, lol, it is a common type of skype virus which outuse a security gap with the logged-in-state which is transferred to their website, once you click the link, and which then have access to your account. ♥♥♥♥ is happening really fast if you do not care enough, but yeah, many people falling for the obvious scams shouldn't be an issue, sadly it is... why do you else think, that valve demolished the counter-strike trading? You buy an item, booya 7 days waiting time before trade. WITH AUTHENTICATOR! Without it's like .. idk 30 days? Plus a few days before the trade gets finished? Wouldn't be an issue if not so many re-tards would be out there : / so that's sadly the case. People falling for this poor scams.
