I took that from facepunch, I figure you all should know about this kind of stuff, if anyone knows any other ways to get scammed,Here's a problem I've been noticing with growing prevalence on TF2 trading servers, and it's REALLY hard to notice unless you are looking for it.
The user in question requests a strange amount of hats for his unusual (4) He'll place his unusual on the trade screen, and ask to see your hats. Both of you will agree (or not) that the trade is fair, and ready up, then he'll ask you to change one of your hats to a different one. While you do this, unknown to you, he'll switch his unusual for a REGULAR version of the same hat, and ready up when you get back. If you catch it, he'll claim it was accidental, and most likely go onto a different server to do it again.
Just some friendly advice, hate to see some fellow TF2 players get scammed.
Easy way to prevent it

Put this into your autoexec and this will never happen to you:
Code:
cl_showbackpackrarities 1
This displays a colored border around all items and is color-coded for their rarity. I.E. Vintage items will have a blue border, Unusuals will have a purple border, etc.
other then the "I WILL BUY YOU HATS, FIRST GIVE ME UR HAT, I'LL BRB TO GIVE IT 2 U.". I saw some guy pull that on the fun server a couple days ago, Makoi or something like that, so I would say you should ban him on sight.
