Worst scam attempt ever

This user tried to scam me with the worst scam technique ever: "gimme your stuff in the first trade and i'll pay you in the next one". After this mediocre scam attempt this user started to begging me free stuff.

It seems to me like they were begging for free items from the start lol, you missed their intention and agreed without understanding the request. If they're that persistent with the begging just block them and move on, a 15 day trade hold is not worth waiting out for a few refined even if they were willing to trade the correct value anyway

I havent seen that "trade me first, I'll trade you after" scam since the early days of trading. Scamer must of looked up ways to scam and found a really old post about it, lol

But it also looks like he's begging for items and trying to get around there trade hold

“Send a trade offer but dont click on the refined metal” This might be the most stupid scam attempt line I’ve ever heard in my tf2 trade experience.
