I won't discuss further here, because it's not HLDS related. But see this
thread about reaper0628's account that got hacked:
http://sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=90261
Here is the before and after of the fellow's items:
Before:

After:
http://www.tf2items.com/id/reaper0268?time=1320739158
This trader had massive reputation and buys/sells thousands of dollars in
unusuals every month, so with the hijacked account, the hacker then
proceeded to try to scam dozens if not 100+ people out of their
collectables. He came to me and offered "$1100" for two of mine, which is
market value for them, but it seemed suspicious. Other people didn't get
their spider-sense in time, and I know of at least ~$3,000 more items that
they scammed away.
I know Valve is overloaded right now, and so I guess the hijackers took the
opportunity to hit hard on the TF2 collector economy. Now there are a whole
lot more Steam Support tickets rolling in for this stuff. :(
