Let's talk about this: Phishers.
Have you ever been targeted? I have been many times, the purpose of them is to put phishy links on your profile with a phrase that they are noobs and they lie, I know when it's a phisher or not, and they want to know your passwords, and hack your Steam, I have fallen for that one single time, but thanks to Kaspersky Lab Internet Security, it denied me access to this website, good job Kaspersky  .
Post if you have been targeted and how, and If you want, add the user that targeted you.

I am getting targeted about 3-4 times per day on average, I quit all groups etc. but still getting striked, I have suspicion it's due to my 150+ games and 40 Level account.
On a side topic, this was posted on Reddit a while ago:

I don't know why people keep bothering to talk about it?
I've received around 25 this week, as fools on my friends list decide to click them and people add me from CS:GO trading and decide to try send it me. I'll be honest, you have to be pretty silly to press it as they are so obvious, most being things like:
csgolonge:png
Take a careful look at that, the file extension isn't .png, it's the file name. People just name exes with .png or :png and people fool for it, click it and it signs their steam out. They relog and the hacker get's their steam account.
Just take a second to look before you click a link? thx.

I have never seen a single pisher 
I only blocked a crapload of them.... Luckily pishers stopped adding me no idea why :p
This picture was taken 5-6 months ago so there's more now, but hopefully they stopped adding me me atleast I got no friend requests last few weeks.

Phishing is the reason why I keep my steam profile comments friends only.
I get atleast 2 phishing bot friend invites everyday. Not sure why the amount is so low, but one day I got about 5 at the same time.
I always thought that phishing bots usually target rich profiles as in, high steam level, large inventory, inventories that have specific items in them etc. etc.. So I keep my inventory completly private for myself, so that phishing bots have one less reason to add me.

They dont have any specific targetstar, I for example only have an inventory worth around 2-3 bucks and I still get a few friend request.
