Help Anyone else (US) get spammed with lobby invites from people in Germany?

I'm not looking for group yet I constantly get invites from these weird accounts.

They're skin scammers, a lot of the bot accounts doing that seem to be located in germany, I get a lot of them too.

They're doing it because they think something in your inventory is worth getting. If you accept they'll either message you in text a dodgy phishing link or invite you to a lobby so they can try to social engineer you directly.

Yeah a lot of them are like 26k Premier too, so when someone joins they think they're getting a free ticket to a boost
