This is great and allā¦ but, I started doing this with the firstā¦ 15 or so.
Problem is they are automatically setting up these accounts and spamming people, they are throwaway accounts so blocking and reporting doesnāt really ādoā anything.
This is an issue blizzard really āshouldā deal with, even more so since having moved the auth to the same app. meaning I canāt choose not to have the app and keep mu auth.

Same for me. Already 3 requests in a few days
9 so far, started 3 days ago.
Iām not reporting them, I didnāt pay to be costumer service. This is entirely on Blizzard for not having the adequate tools to filter the obvious spam, not having the tools to ban botting. It was obvious their half trading implementation with huge gold sinks was going to attract bots.
They get your info from customer bases that contain lists of people that buy services so most of you are outing yourselves. They arenāt reaching out to random people thatās not how they work. I have been playing blizzard stuff since warcraft 1 seen this often over the years. I have yet to get a weird friend request since launch day. Itās like spam callers in real life; the first time you pick up itās over they never leave you alone.

While that may be true for some, Mike Ybarra tweeted on 7/10 confirming there was a bug in Diablo 4 where users could see your full battle.net ID in game, so thatās how the spam started for some (most?) people.

Did you try spamming the spammer? Lol. I believe devs are working on this as I too have been targeted but have not seen it much as of late
i had this issue for 1-2 weeks too, then it suddenly stopped. maybe blizzard works on it in the background? it was usually a similar name that tried to add me
You are wrong! Honestly gold is very useful in the game- if I had unlimited gold I could Reroll for hours until I got 15 percent cool down on a helmet or necklace.
On the other hand of course I donāt like spammers like you got.
Theyāre spamming you because youāre a prior customer most likely.
The devs already talked about this. Its not from previous customers, its because the battle tags were all shown in game for said period of time for no reason other than bad coding. They have already said they will be addressing this.

Do you recall what dev post and where that they talked about this breach of privacy in game issue? Starting this last week I have suddenly been getting the friend request gold spam as well and itās incredibly annoying and very frustrating as I have always had my privacy levels as high as I could make them in my battle.net account: So only friends viewable and having my account info private and not receive friend requests and I didnāt have issues beforeā¦

I saw it in a video done by āopen world gamesā youtube channel. Currently going through a few of his vids trying to find it exactly.
I think they build their databases with gathered information. So hiding the information ingame did not helped.
I see that this is an old topic, but just today, I had what basically amounts to whispers from 2 gold sellers. I did not see that they were asking to be added to my friendās list, and donāt care whether they were or not. Is there a way to block these guys?
yea you can always right click on users, and report them, and block them while you are at it.
Finally a necro that actually adds something.
Amazing how some people were necoring posts just to necro them.
Seems times are tough when botting and RMT leaves nobody wanting to play the title.. no matter, they can double down and start PM spamming players until thereās nobody left and itās time to turn out the lights.
Long as they got what they came for, nothing else matters.
Good job neglecting the issue Blizz.
