Hi,
Someone tried to scam me using a fake account, impersonating shasan (Bitcointalk member that has an escrow service) and impersonating a localcoinswap trader.
The scammer has the ID @Adv3ntur0us in his bio but this is NOT his real telegram ID, he's impersonating
Adv3ntur0us from LocalCoinSwapHe contacted me directly on Telegram saying he cannot login on Bitcointalk, and asked to buy ETH with XMR or BTC, saying we should use shasan escrow service or localcoinswap.
We finally decided to use shasan escrow service, so he opened a group chat a COPY of shasan telegram account with same name, same photo, no ID at first then he created the ID
sashan32 (which is NOT the real one, the real one is shasan32,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1883627).
He first sent me a video of his wallet 0x8cd9f5d939a7c376436fd961a0ef15bca8ac3176 on his phone, supposed to be on ETH with 75k USDT, but in fact the wallet is empty. I don't know if he really owns this wallet.
And for the escrow deal, they asked me to send the funds to 0xB54562D87E53505348949C9E51c203d6465E3C0A, so for this one I'm sure the scammers own this wallet, the transactions show withdrawals from OKX and MEXC, if someone knows how I can report those scammers to these websites please let me know.
I have a voice note of the scammer:

If someone shows you a wallet with big balances, always go check on the blockchain if it's true, and if you want to verify he owns it, ask him to sign a message with his wallet and verify it.
Stay safe and always double check addresses and Telegram ID (or other social IDs).
EDIT:
As Hazink pointed it out, this is the same scammer as in the topic:
