What happened? Description:

The accused added me asking if I still had my unusuals, I asked which one and they displayed the Phosphorus Crown and Kill-A-Watt boot from my inventory in the trade chat and asked me how much for each. I told them the prices and they said "ok let me think for sec" Then they told me they wanted to check if the hat was duped, and at this point I didn't think anything of it as this was standard, so I gave them the backpack.tf history for the boot and then they asked me if I had a personal friend online. This set off a red flag for me as my friend and I had gotten scammed in the past through this exact method. At this point, I called them out on being a scammer and they haven't said anything back. Included is a screenshot of the chat. I also see that on this specific person already has multiple reports against them.​

Provide Evidence:

Note that they did not actually get anything from me, as I was able to spot the scam from prior experience with it, but they were aiming to so all I have is the chat.
