NEW SCAM UPDATED INFO! IMPORTANT!!!

30 Jul, 2018 @ 3:29pm - Fire
The scammers have figured out a way to make it impossible to tell the difference between a real and fake item. They create a game and then change the icon and name to mimick the game they are using scammed items with.

The Golden Pan below is not from TF2:

The only advice for right now is to be super careful who you are trading with or to just not trade at all until Valve do something to fix this issue.

In the case of THIS game, it's gone

@General Cornwaffle Both the games that did this are gone. However, them banning the game means nothing. Any scammer can continue to make new games and repeat this process over and over.

UPDATE
The game is gone
