User:
ashwin171 has open a currency
exchange thread , (
archived). When he made the post, it drew my attention due to the very good exchange rate (10% extra BTC for PayPal) and the user even ready to charge back. So the thread was quite suspicious.
My suspension become true when I noticed OP has been trying to bump the thread with alt accounts. These accounts leave positive comments for OP. However, anyone could leave a positive reply if they have traded with alt. It doesn't matter. But just see the activity of these two users.

Chebur80, last post he made on August 15, 2019. So after more than 2 years, he woke up just to leave positive feedback and reply in the exchange thread.

I believe the users mentioned above trying to scam forum users. As a reference, he used a Paxful account. Though the username is similar to his forum username, I don't believe the Paxful account belongs to him.
However, eventually, I try to contact the person in telegram, then he refused to use any kind of escrow service from the forum. Even he doesn't trust me, it does not matter he doesn't trust me but suddenly he clear all the chat history of the telegram. I am not getting what is the problem if he is trusted on the other platform why he can't trust in the forum escrow. So most probably I think he is just attempting to scam users.
