Bot accounts and phising
Hello:

I recently having a spam of bots adding me as friend in Steam. I block they all and report it to Valve, but looks like this continue.

I send ticket to Valve and they clean their hands about this situation. This is the ticket (is in spanish, sorry about this):

https://support.steampowered.com/view.php?ticketref=1985-OCVB-9011

They only suggest me go to Steam support to ready phising section, which explain how dont click in phising links only. That is Steam response to me, and they clean their hands in this thing.

What can i do about this?

EDIT1: This is what they send to me via email:

If those random friend invitations bother you that much, you can fill your list to its maximum capacity and prevent all requests from now on.

Dont should Valve take this? I pay a lot of money to they, I think they should prevent things like that to make more secure community. Or they just clean their hands about security?

What do you expect them to do about it? Limited accounts with no games or purchases are already blocked from sending friend invites or starting a chat, but they get around it by buying something cheap (some games go on sale for 20 or 30 cents once in a while) or using the accounts they've already phished as bots to phish even more accounts.

Also Valve recently added a filter that brings up a warning screen when you click a link that leads to a non-Steam site, but they got around that quickly by leaving out the http://www from the url, so people have to copy and paste it directly into their browser. :tank:

Mh for example, they should try take the ip where are the bots connected to Steam accounts. They can do that and call the police to stop it. And they should do that, we pay for games in their platrform, so it´s their problem really.

There are ways around IP bans, they would just use a different IP after getting banned.

I dont think they will ban IP. Just think uf u reset router and u get that IP... mh... maybe the better way to stop this is enable captcha code when u send friends request... maybe is the better solution. But i want a solution, not Valve look to other side and clean their hands in this.
