I'm not. But it's much harder to prove if you don't have direct evidence. Update the user's backpack from csgo.backpack.tf and if you get scammed, bam you can prove it.

Well you have to be a royal dumbass to accept a trade offer for your whole inventory for nothing. 

I have no idea how he can be so oblivious to it, it's not as if he's new to the game (he has 113 MM wins and is Master Guardian Elite). Two-step verification is always there anyways.

Yeah.

As someone who's been in TF2 trading for a year, I know every scam in the book. And I facepalm when someone gets scammed that way.

Right, a friend of mine got his account hacked not too long ago, not sure how, but his $320 is goneski (MW Karambit Ultraviolet). At least losing your inventory through being hacked is less your fault than if you willingly and obliviously accept a trade offer like this lol.

I have more knowledge about scammers and avoiding scams than people with $100+ backpacks.

AND MY BACKPACK VALUE HAS ONLY CAPPED OUT AT LIKE $35
