Podgor has posted that he is @AmazonBalance on Telegram.

Telegram @AmazonBalance

[Archive]


But I also found this:

(ALWAYS CHECK IF YOU ADDED THE PROPER LOGIN, I HAVE IMPERSONATORS USING MY LOGIN IN THEIR NAMES)
Telegram & ICQ: AmazonBalance (I have an impersonator using "i" instead of "L" BE CAREFUL)

[Archive]

Are you sure you were dealing with the same guy?  It's hard to tell from the screenshots.

[OmegaStarScream]

I believe you're dealing with an impersonator. I've dealt with Podor multiple times and with larger amounts, and I've had nothing but smooth transactions.



I have him on Telegram as well (but only dealt with him on Skype), and as you can see:

1. His privacy settings regarding the last time he has been online are available (not the case in the posted image)
2. Different display name compared to the image you've shown.

Also, I've chatted with him last time on Saturday:

He doesn't have any profile picture in Telegram though (and I'm not blocked).

Try to add him through this link: https://t.me/AmazonBalance

If you can send messages just fine to that account, then you've added an impersonator.
It's worth mentioning that I don't know Podgor personally. I've just dealt with him several times.

[Podgor]

Can't see much in imgur screens but you seriously think soneone would sell you legal balance for 65% BTC?

You messaged my imposter. His name is AmazonBaiance (capital i) while mine is AmazonBalance.

What should I do? Is it possible for people to search my profile using email address? This is not the first time someone gets tricked.

[tera22]

sorry

[Podgor]

You got tricked by my impersonator.

I know it's painful but next time you will double check via Bitcointalk message system.

If you think I would take $140 over 3 year business you are delusional.

I've never dealt with Podgor, I have no affiliation with him, I don't recall ever interacting with him on the forum, and I don't buy or sell gift cards.  In other words I have no dog in this fight.

I searched Telegram for user "AmazonBaiance" (note the search bar,) and here's what I found:




I also searched for user "AmazonBalance" and found another user that goes by the name "AmazonBalances" with the same front page as the one above:

one of my friends who I know in real life now reporting me the seller as scammer as well , he is gonna post the screenshots in few minutes as he told me
once he post the screenshots I will put a negative tag for the seller, I know the guy who got scammed in person but just waiting for screenshots here for reference

the fact that other people reporting that as well make it more clear to me

I have Telegram impersonator.

He has group named AmazonBalances as someone mentioned it. His telegram profile is AmazonBaiance.

I am AmazonBaLance (Podgor).

the 2 man are 1 and its you

why you dont mention before about this problem?
why you type your username when you say there is another one?
im sure 2 account are 1 and its you
maybe inm neiwbe here (registered since 2013) but im pro member in most hack forums and i know all this trick well
you can unblock me and refund me and i forget it

I copied Podgor's TG id from his thread and pasted in my TG to search for him.
When I searched I found two results, one is original Podgor and the other one is the imposter.

See the image for a better understanding. GREEN refers to original Podgor and RED one is the imposter. https://i.imgur.com/y1d8y5v.png
I also checked both names in MSword to verify by changing the case to lowercase, and it is confirmed that the red one is the imposter.

Most probably OP thought the first result after the search is the original Podgor, but it's not it's a channel from the imposter. OP visited that channel and grabbed the imposter's id and started the conversation which later led to the scam.

@Podgor
Why don't you stop using TG and Skype bcoz you know you have imposter or maybe change your id.

@tera22
Why didn't you used escrow service? No matter whom you are dealing with Podgor or the imposter, it could have saved your money. Maybe it could cost you $10 but it could also saved your $140.

I know you are upset, I'm upset too but I'd like to know the reason why you haven't used escrow service...

edit: DireWolf also verified the same thing, thanks. I forget to mention about the extra "S" at the end.

I didn't think about posting a link before. 20 minutes ago OmegaStarScream opened my eyes.

I also DO NOT have amazon avatar or Telegram.

I am also NOT named Buy & Sell Amazon. Used to be on skype but I don't use Skype anymore due to the same reason. I had like 4 imposters.

I mentioned 10 times about this problem. I even have info about it in my thread. Had that info for weeks since I discovered an importer.

I can't unlock you because I didn't lock you. You never messaged my telegram.

@Akamit I stopped using Skype 2 weeks ago due to having 4 imposters. If I stop using Telegram I will have.no business. Posted a link instead of name now, hopefully no more people will get tricked.

Do you guys think anything could be done? I reported his group with my links to telegram but they didn't ban him...
