Fake Escrow Scam (impersonating Bitcointalk member)

[shasan]

Thank you for your attempt. They will take the complaints of those who have been scammed seriously but not others who have not.

Anyone can see this fund has been collected by scam so they need verification of that and the verification is only possible by the person who has been scammed. And that is why they refused the accusation and wanted the accusation from the person who had been scammed. I think the scammer who has shared the wallet might not be the ownership of the scammer the scammer has the new wallet only.

[Crypto Library]

I think the main source of income of this person is scamming. The scam is being caused by a fake trade or escrow service or something like that. On 27th January the person tried to use me as escrow but later came to trade instead of taking me as escrow. At that time Royese as escrow. And created a group with me and royese (the fake account of royese but the same name and same profile photo) I opened the message of royese then came to know that it was fake as we had the previous discussion. Then I told the person to scammer (to scam you must have to be oversmart) the person blocked me and deleted the chat. I had not posted here as the conversation was deleted and there is no benefit as impersonating is a common fact.

I also wanted to tell this scammer by giving him the link to this thread that if you want, you can earn money on a right way not by scamming in this way without wasting your talent and time.
If you want, if you put your efforts in the right place, then from there you can earn more income from this scamming. Because the way you are trying to scam has actually become old, it will not work anymore, people are more advanced now.  But before sending this he blocked me  .

Anyway, they were just like to pretend like others with using same picture and Name but if you look at their profile carefully then you will find that they were hiding their username and set the person username on their bio as clickable so that people can believe them.

I do not think scammers will go down and instead of that scammers becoming smarter day by day. They are going to be so smart that they are making us fool and scamming our fund with new techniques. If t is not then there would have no way to scam our funds though few times we can save our funds as we are smart too though that is not enough to the scammers.

i sure hope not. most scammers are actually so dumb but are still quit successful, sometimes i wonder how the fuck they even pull off half of the scams i see online. so i can't even imagen dealing an actual smart scammer.

Those who have fallen victim to scammers before will not fall victim again no matter how smart those scammers have become, so you are right in saying that we can reduce the amount of scam that happens to us to the bearest minimum if we take our previous experience lessons seriously, one of the easiest ways that scammers get victims is acting on the greed of their victims, once they noticed the greed in you as a person, the scammers have already gained a foundation in your head from there on he worked on their gullibility of the victims

You are not the real Adv3ntur0us, you are a damn scammer.

All you did was use the public key of Adv3ntur0us, whose real name is [Freddy Li]. What you did now is not proof of identity, but merely encrypting a message whose key you do not own, but rather the real owner does.

Anyone can send an encrypted message using Freddy Li’s key.

If you want to deny my accusation against you you can simply sign a text that includes your current name and today's date using your private key. That is the real method of verification not the encrypted message you sent, which no one can decrypt except the owner of the key.

Who, for God's sake, proves his identity and offers his buying/selling service in a scam accusation and in a thread that exposes the impersonator?
I'm a little curious how this scammer found this very thread to prove himself in.

I give them red trust also.

His post indicates that he belongs to the category of foolish scammers who think that the members here are naive and will believe any nonsense they post, even if it's within a thread like this that exposes them.

He probably found the thread through a search engine, because the difference between the last post in this thread and his new one is more than 10 months. Therefore, it is most likely that this is a new scammer who is also impersonating Adv3ntur0us.

In any case, every member should make sure they are dealing with the real person through their PGP signature which is generated by signing a text with their private key, and not just through an encrypted message like the one this scammer sent.. Most scammers take advantage of people’s lack of technical knowledge to deceive them.

I confirm that you are Adv3ntur0us [Freddy Li], whose message is now on his official Telegram account: https://t.me/Adv3ntur0us

This is based on the Adv3ntur0us PGP Key published on Nov 3rd, 2024 ^[HERE] + ^[HERE] + ^[HERE].

The impersonation issues we are seeing are primarily due to the AgoraDesk shutdown (as seen in his archived reputation HERE), which scammers are exploiting to impersonate well-known, high-volume traders.
