Pay close attention to the items that you are being offered. Highlight each of them individually, so that you know that you're being offered what was agreed upon.

If your trade partner offers more items than what was agreed upon, that's a red flag! Nobody would want to end up on a losing side of a trade, so there should be no reason for them to do so! Always make sure the items you were originally offered are still there and were not removed.

When possible try to trade with people you know.

Getting a 3rd person involved can also be a red flag. If building trust is the argument invoked, then play a few more games with that person, do some "warm-up" trades with less valuable items, get to know them a bit better, before engaging in trading with the more valuable ones. Remember, there will always be someone wanting what you have to offer and vice-versa, there is no point in rushing things by getting a middleman involved.

Beware of Phishing Sites

Jan 16, 2021 @ 4:03am - Goberman

Tips on how to avoid phishing sites

DO NOT trust any site that requires you to log into your platform account in order to attempt to trade, play in a giveaway or a tournament, or access any other functionality.

Avoid random and unexpected links that were sent from someone on your friends list. Again, do not trust these sites with your login information.
If you do find yourself on one of these sites, you can see if it’s fake by looking for typos, comparing it to the official site, check to see if it’s an official or valid URL, click on a tab to see if it redirects you to the official Steam link, or just close the site and log in.
