What happened? Description:

TLDR; middleman scam.
Some strange guy added me asking for my unusual's value. I was immediately suspicious when he asked "do you have a trusted friend?" I also noticed the broken English, which looks similar to that I see of eastern European's. I decided to mess with him, and said my hat was Mr. Tossle. He then added me to a group conversation, with a private profiled level 0 version of my friend.​
