Using rep(.)tf to Verify Identity
If someone adds you to trade, likely they will send you a chat message to talk about that.
This guide will help you verify that they are who they say they are, and are not already reported as a scammer.
Right click the user's icon in chat, and select "View Profile"
Right click the user's background and select "Copy Page URL"
Go to rep(.)tf and paste the link. (Hit search)
What does this page mean?
There are plenty of different sites which display their information here.
They are color coded to help you out.

Blue = Nothing bad has been reported [for that one site].
Yellow = Probably nothing, but read the notes to see.
Red = Warning!! Most likely a scammer! Read notes to see details!
Examples of Good/Bad Rep
Examples of Good Rep.tf page:
rep(.)tf/76561198090956917
rep(.)tf/76561198094365132

Example of Bad Rep.tf page:

If they send you a link... "This is my Backpack/Trust"
If they send you a link to a backpack or trust page claiming to be a certain user.. IGNORE IT.
You can view this information from their [ACTUAL] rep.tf page.

Compare that to any links you are sent. If they send you to a different profile from the one you looked up, then they are scamming you.

How to not get scammed: don't trade with anyone except friends.

As a general rule, that can help prevent a lot of scams. However, there are some people who have friends only or private inventory's who don't scam.

shorter version:
just check if their inventory is fucking public

Hey RR Destroyer! Are you sure it was the real Troll Pumpkin? I can almost guarantee they were an impersonator. (he has a lot of impersonators)

If you still have access to the profile who added you, try checking their profile via this guide.

Produced a screenshot example for "Bad Rep" that should fit Steam Policy regarding no personally identifiable information to "Name and Shame."

Guide was taken down due to me providing examples of scammers (naming and shaming) It is back up and I will look into replacing that section with something similar.

Bet he's not even a viable credit to team. He gets yelled at for being a f***ing useless friendly Hoovy.

"bastered"
"you you"
"awnsers"

I'm calling a troll, or a complete idiot.
