    This attempted scam was reported to me via TF2Bazaar's support system.

    BisBis posted this trade and this trade on Bazaar earlier today. He was subsequently added by the scammer, who claimed to be employed by a magazine company in Hong Kong. The scammer's story is that he needed to "borrow" BisBis' unusual hats to be featured in the magazine, and would trade BisBis 5 buds (which then changed to 28 buds as you will see in the screenshots) as collateral. BisBis proceeded to play along with the scammer in order to to procure more evidence.

    Trade screenshot (which shows the scammer was ready to make off with the unusual hats):

    On a final note, the scammer's inventory shows a pair of Earbuds and an ususual Frenchman's Beret, which could be a sign that others have fallen for his deception.
