    Kinda need to figure out what is attracting this attention to you so you can avoid them in the future.
    Perhaps go to a "post comment why adding" prior to accepting any new friend invites would help - certainly does for me.
    I'll review this again shortly but you may wish to consider that to help avoid them in the future.

    probably because I got unusuals and they see me as an easy target because it's not a God tier inventory. Your guess is as good as mine. It's a bit tiring to get all these scammers. But it feels good when they get served justice.

    Try my suggestion - force people to leave a comment as to why they are adding so you can just avoid them.

    Done. Also on the users Backpack.tf profile there is a downvote in his trust from a user who posted images of this user saying the same thing to someone else with a different scam link.
