Aren’t those attempts to jack your steam account? I remember hearing something a few years back about people being able to “recover” an account by having a certain number of friends put in a ticket saying it was stolen.
Or maybe that was discord. Either way, as a result I don’t add randos.

I hadn’t heard of that one, a kind of social engineering attack. Definitely something to keep in mind!
This is generally my attitude, and it sucks really that ignoring random friend requests is usually the sensible thing to do. Anyway so far this person does seem to be genuine and hasn’t tried to get me to add a load of their friends or anything like that.
