tl;dr some accounts have been hijacked by bots, do check if there's a human on the other end, notify them that changing their password is a good idea

staem, comnunity and other slighty typos, got a hell of them after posting to tf2outpost. If the profile is private or the steam level is 0 then I automagically proceed and avoid accepting them, usually they post the "hey my friend wanna trade with you, add him pls: [link]", asked them something back, but they seemed full bots as they didn't respond and the profile was pretty suspicious too.

Edit: My firefox has an add-on that shows the flag of the country the site is hosted, all those links were from ukraine, apparently.
