Description:
Backpack.tf's Automatic trade confirmation program has a previously unknown bug/backdoor that allows an incoming trade offer to ask for all of a user's refined metals on top of a listed sale and it will be automatically accepted.

I listed a Strange Sniper Rifle with parts for sale at 1 key using Backpack.tf Automatic. The reported user exploited the bug/backdoor to trade 1 key for my Strange Sniper Rifle plus all the refined metals in my inventory (330).

I'm sure this is just a throwaway scam account but a mark will at least prevent further victims.

Backpack.tf Automatic log:
14:48:58 - trade: [U:1:288126566] Everything in offer #979636575 looks good, accepting
