Description:
A few minutes ago, someone sent me messages on telegram asking for 100usd. He said, he is @Coolcryptovator but can't access to his computer and he will return 150usd.
I feel sorry for the scammer. He should be ashamed of abusing people reputation to earn 100 bucks.




Amount scammed: 100 usd (Failed to scam)

Payment method: Bitcoin

Scammer ID on telegram: @Coolcryptovaitor

Additional Notes:
Before trusting anyone out of the forum, double check their ID and ask for a signed message.
'Coolcryptovator' is the real ID, while he added an 'i' into the username.

Do you think scammers really have shame?

I don't think so. They just need some easy money and don't care how actually they are getting it. Sorry to say that they also don't think too much about the amount. You got surprised that someone is using another forum members reputation just to steal 100$ from people but i will not if scammers them try for juat for only 1$. Its their habit and they have no shame for the work they are doing.

this isn't the first time someone tried to impersonate @Coolcryptovator I remember back in 2020 someone posted that Coolcryptovator contacted him on telegram asking to trade about something luckily the dude contacted Coolcryptovator here in the forum to verify if he was the one who contacted him on telegram and Coolcryptovator said he wasn't.

@OP thanks for sharing

EDIT:
here's the link to the other thread of a person trying to impersonate Coolcryptovator. I didn't realize it was Coolcryptovator who posted the thread.
Coolcryptovator's telegram impersonator.

seeing the way he tried to scam I'd say this is pretty shameful even among scammers not only it is a poor attempt it is also a pretty lazy way to scam people.

First of all, thanks for notifying me via forum PM. When I see OP's PM I thought that is an old impersonator. But it's quite surprising when noticed there is another impersonator exist on the telegram. I must say that was a stupid attempt to scam OP, because mostly I have been using this forum via mobile phone, and I believe most of you guys know that. So, if I am active on mobile telegram that means I can still access my forum account as well. If I need any help then I can send PM via the forum, and I don't think I have to return 50% extra. Unrealistic scam attempt so far.

I think there is a scammer team that has been impersonating reputed forum users. So, dealing off-forum is high risk lately, and we can't take such as the responsibility to prevent them. Because the telegram becomes a safe haven for scammers. Everyone should be careful with their funds, shouldn't handover them to a scammer this way.

Thanks, OP once again, keep hunting these scammers. Hope this thread will help innocent users to realize what is going on in this forum and out of this forum.
