Ever tried to collect evidence for scam reports? It can be real hard sometimes
Multiple things can determine what is or isn't a scam but the quick answer is a member of the trading party fails too hold their end of the agreement / attempts too avoid holding their end of the agreement. Steamrep has a list of what types of scams there are here under the question "What do the various tags mean?":

I'm saying what is the scam in the OP? I see him offering his unusual and keys for the OP's unusual, but I don't see where the scam is in the dialogue provided.

The user I was trading with sent me the link to an inventory that was not his own (his own was private). When a scammer does this, they usually give you a really good deal, that will highly benefit you. Then they usually request that you "verify your items" to make sure that they are not hacked. To my knowledge they try to get you to trade your items to a fake "Steam Admin" so that they can check to make sure that it is legit. I guess people are gullible enough to do that.
What I did was I checked the reputation of the person trading me (not the person who they were impersonating) and then sent him a link to it, just to poke fun at them. If you ever start trading, just be smart and be rational.
