Offered to pay for hat, and then entire backpack. I mistakenly assumed that they were the reputable user that they impersonated and traded with the alt reported. Was obviously not paid. I feel stupid for this and know I can't get it back, but would like to prevent other new people from being scammed by this guy as well.​

Pay Ervin Durand using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/YourGoodestFriend and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

There's that. iirc it can take a week for payments to go through. If you'd rather I request from you, I'd need a link.

Poor guy. Sorry I can't do more for ya. Good luck.

Obviously I reported already if that even helps.

Again, I was foolish and thought that they were the user they were impersonating. The link provided matched their username and profile picture and I did not click to check as I 100% should have. https://backpack.tf/trust/76561198053252981
