Allow filters on who can add you to avoid phishing accounts
Many (not all, but a lot) of the phishing accounts who add people throguh TF2Outpost are brand new accounts who have no or very low tf2 hours or their profiles are private. There should be a setting to not allow users with X number of hours to be able to see the "add friend" button for trades. IDK, just a suggestion.

Along with what was said in the previous link that kléni posted, we cannot add any type of restriction that makes a user need a certain action completed in order to use site functions, such as hours played or amount of items in a backpack.

Bots can easily idle whatever time it takes to do that, as well as fill up pages of weapons to bypass whatever system you set up. On top of that, it could restrict legitimate users who may just be started out on the game and our site.

Really, it's all on Valve to do something about phishing at this point, we can't do much more than the steps we've already taken to combat them besides try to educate more people on the practices and common signals of a phishing scam.
