There was also a post on my directory accusing Tomboi scam.

I had to first check who MotoLM is and what kind of funds he is talking about.

I also got a kind of confused. I thought MotoLM was from the KycNotList team or a member of LittleMouse team until I read the neutral tag. Newcomers actually do not pay apt attention to feedbacks. I don't know if it's wise for LM to write theymos and change his alt username to "LittleMouseAlt". This will be less confusing to new members and will also strengthen his branding. It could also prevent scam, I learnt that people create telegram usernames with campaign managers name.

In a situation like this, is there a remedy?
It should be, no prove, no compensation.

So long as there is a neutral tag on the profile, it should be fine. Anyone who had doubts will be directed to the neutral tag.

There is no way of proving if he was one of the victims or not. Any random person could create an account and post such a review. Also I believe the escrow funds have already been exhausted?

Avoid this website for now

I did a swap of 50 ETH and only received $10 in return. After I contacted support, their website went down. I then reached out through their onion (Tor) site, which also went offline right after I messaged them. Their entire infrastructure now appears to be down.
I strongly advise against using this platform until my issue is resolved. I hold all the evidence and am ready to provide it to an admin for verification.

We're sorry for your loss

A newly registered user has posted in my directory 'm not sure if it's real or fake.

A newly registered user has posted in my directory 'm not sure if it's real or fake.

Let's quote the user:

I was scammed by this service and lost $1,730. I didn’t save my order ID or any other details. I was using Tor, and when I closed the browser all my swap information disappeared. Please help me recover my funds.

Even if it's real, he made all possible mistakes. It makes me wonder how many users don't even verify the Letter of Guarantee before depositing.

If the victim who lost $100,000 had simply made a post like this without providing any evidence to prove he had been scammed, we would not have paid attention to it or taken the allegations seriously. Instead, he provided the order number, a Letter of Guarantee signed with PGP, proof of payment to an address (outproof), videos, and screenshots. Everything was thoroughly documented.

In the case of this member, who claims to have lost $1,730, if there is insufficient evidence or no proof to support the claim, then unfortunately the allegations cannot be considered reliable.

Definitely no real proof it's meaningless. If he has proof, he can share it.

I believe there are more users who were scammed, but let's see.

This should arise the question of the escrow jurisdiction.

If a project is to escrow $20k with any of the escrow agents or campaign managers in this forum or Altcoinstalks, that very escrow should be for both forums first before outsiders.

Seeing an escrow of $20k could be my motivation to swap $5k, but when scam happens, you'll be surprised to see someone outside the forum who was scammed even more than the escrow amount in this forum.

Regarding your concerns about escrow jurisdiction and the risk of large-scale scams, I believe that shifting from a passive "penalty fund" model to an active intermediary workflow provides significantly better protection for users.

By integrating the security deposit into the live workflow, I transform it from a passive promise into an active insurance policy. This allows me to act as a shield for the community, ensuring that even if a service attempts to fail, the impact on individual users is minimized or entirely mitigated before a total loss can occur.
