    He tried to scam me but since I am almost Scam-Proof, it didn't work.

    I don't have any evidence since it was in a group chat and he left it. So the chat closes.
    But it was a very smart scam.
    I can explain it here.

    I have a N&B Berliners. Pretty lame unusual, but still. Not worth 1 buds, a bit less.
    He randomly added me, no tf2op account, so I didn't know what he got me from.
    He offered me 70 bucks for my unusual, and when I asked him for rep, he ignored me.
    I already found his offer suspicious, because no one will pay 70 bucks for an 1- buds hat.
    So, he said he had verified paypal, and I wanted to try him.
    He then said we can use a friend of mine as a middleman.
    So, a friend of mine went in our chat, making it a group chat, and we discussed.
    elMario said 1 sec. He probably was setting up his alt account, which was the genius part.
    So, an account traded me with the same name/pic as my friend. He said: "Trade me the unusual quick!"
    But, my friend was in game and he wasn't. So I asked my friend to change his name, he did, and the guys name didn't change. That's when I literally said him to: "f✿✿✿ off" and he deleted me. Since it was in a group chat only the chat of me and my friend stayed. Too bad. I hope this is information enough though. I couldn't get a hold of the alt account which had the same name, since it probably changed name right after.

    Sincerely,

    Smoke.

    Do you have any screenshots of the chat to support the claim?
