It's not new, but problems for newbies. Suddenly they wouldn't realize this is an impersonator. My telegram impersonator already scammed a few users even though I wrote a note on my profile. Everyone should keep in mind either newbies or old users, don't make an off-forum deal with forum users. So, you wouldn't confuse by seeing users green trust and deal out of forum without verifying via the forum PM. Just we need to teach ourselves.
This can be a lesson for all of us that there are indeed many copycats on telagram, they only have a number with a telegram ID to cheat, I think they are now smart and are looking for high and famous account names in this forum to be used as bait, so it's true. You do not agree that outside the forum it is very dangerous. Fraudsters are smarter and cunning in word processing, therefore verifying is very important.
Never transact on telegram and if possible, it's better if you want to exchange something you need, you can go to PM on the forum.
Even I know about this specific from your telegram case clone scamers.
