#REDIRECT [[Community trading tips#Trade Scamming]]
 
 
There are several types of item scams, most of which arise from the 4-item limit of the trading system. Notable scams include:
 
Asking for more than four hats and leaving after the first round,
 
using a friend to drive up the maximum bid for a hat,
 
fake scam stories to arouse pity and
 
offering to modify a hat with a bought item and then trade it back.
 
 
 
To avoid getting scammed, always ask yourself: If I take this trade as it stands, and expect nothing more to come of it, is it a good deal? If the other player quits immediately after I hit the first "trade" button, will I lose anything?
 
 
 
If you are scammed, the only option as of now is to file a steam support ticket, under the "TF2 items" subheader.
