    Uhh so i recently got added by this guy, and he spams me with multiple URLs that are meant to be profiles, but are on *snip*, *snip*, and *snip*. There were many more but i forgot. They dont really lead to a website, it just said that the website creator hasn't added any content. IDK whats going on.

    Happens all the time now, a lot when you bump an Outpost trade it seems. Don't go posting the URL around everywhere either. Don't go to them at all cause they are basically phishing links to hijack -just use the report feature in Steam and block em as SR doesn't accept these reports anymore.

    if you mistakenly put your account credentials in such site, you lose your steam account, for the phisher has stolen it.

    I'll remove the url's in the OP.

    Everytime I bump my trade on outpost I get 1-5 adds. Valve had a system to prevent it but they removed it since apparently some people add over 20 people daily.
    Just check their profiles and if they are private or they have not played a game in a while, it's most likely a phisher.
