[Suggestion]: To Prevent SCAM/Phishing Accounts to add Legit Steam Users

make it so that only Level 5 and above would be able to add another Steam User.
they should also have bought at least $10 worth of product on Steam Store.
you can only add if the account profile is set to PUBLIC.

reasons:
Phishing Accounts are VERY Rampant now.
you will almost likely recieve 10 invites minimum from phishing accounts with level 0-3.

having level restriction requirement of Level 5 will help minimize this problem. Level 5 is still quite easy to achieve for legit steam users.

having at least $10 worth of product bought in the Steam Store will also help validate that it is a legit steam user.

Phishing Accounts are almost always set to PRIVATE...so people will not see the contents of their profile which are most likely doesn't have anything in it.

A captcha for adding people would be best. One that takes a minute, like a video captcha. When adding two in a specific time.

to not prevent new people that just bought a retail copy of a game that requires steam to play with their friends?

Captcha keeps bots out, and one minute video captcha doesnt hurt a regular player

Upgrading badges to level 5 is easy and doesn't require much money,also everyone should be a able to spend 10$ on their accounts,i've seen steam users with 5-6 accounts of csgo.

need more at least 50€/$ and minimum 8 to 10 user rank.
or a option to block all upcoming invites (close open invites/messages).
