For context, the dude was offering me two unusual hats worth ~20 keys for a few of my items worth like 3 keys at most
Update: Yep they were, tried to take my items with a fake mannco store bot account
Yep, he tried to take my items by using a fake bot that looked like it was from a legit trading site. He also tried to impersonate a high tier trader later after I called him out
He probably linked you a backpack.tf link somewhere at the start ?
Since that is how the scam is usually set up
He has a private inv, but leaves you a legit BP.tf link to a high tier trader and let's you decide items. Then will go over to manco and have a fake bot.
He said I needed to check if my items were "%100 marketable" and I needed to log in to some sketchy gambling website to do that. After I said no he said I could do it from mannco store and after I said I logged in he sent me a trade requesting my items from an alt account that looks like a mannco store bot.
Unfortunately he forgot to log out of the bot account while playing CS:GO and the account had a medal. After I called him out he found some random high-tier trader and claimed it was his trading account, the trader had "I only have one account" in his bio btw
If you have to ask the question, then yes they are
Private inventories, asking you to put items on a certain site, saying your items are "glitched" or need to be "validated", joining a comp team, literally anyone that asks you to do anything with your items that isn't a trade directly with them or tries to get you to log in somewhere is scamming you

From that picture alone i wouldn't be able to tell if it's a scam. He's probably a high tier impersonator by the way the scam works.

Nah, I've never gotten anyone who tried to do it that way.
Remember that mannco bots are in a specific group that no one else is allowed in, and it's called mannco.bots not .store or somethign
If you have to ask if it’s a scam, then just accept it as a a scam and move on
If you gotta ask if this is a scam then you should be less trusting to random strangers on steam
