Your account is compromised

DO. NOT. TRADE.

Steps to take NOW:
1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a clean computer. If you used that passwords for another website, change it over there too.
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)
6. Change your trade link
Profile > your inventory > trade offer > Who can send me trade offer > scroll down and make a new trade link.
7. Report the scamming account to support if you are already scammed :Help (top left) > Steam support > CS GO > problem with item > I was scammed

The whole point of it is to force you to initiate a trade and a bot will cancel and redo a trade instantaneously that you would beleive is the correct one but is not, it will be a bot copying the receiver account almost perfectly in less than one second, and your items will be send to another account and lost.
They can do that because they have set up an API key for that, through you connecting to a weird website one day.
If you lost your skin already, you cannot get those back.

i try to be as friendly as i can

you were dumb enough to let your pc infected with malware (or your phone, or even both) by clicking on shady links or by logging into phishingsites before

So basically you just gave away your skins to the wrong account?
