I'm guessing that this was the transaction that you paid the "admin" with: https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/tx/7b93279b5a78c9fe5b4db64c5da9baa26d049c0a1ade39d047eabbb97da6ed9e? Why did you wait 2 months before coming out and creating a scam accusation? You should have done this way earlier.
A possibility as suggested by Joel_Jantsen is that the person you contacted is an impersonator of the actual channel. It would be extremely illogical for even a scammer to not post your content on a telegram channel, since that is completely free on their end anyways.
If you can be sure that the person you contacted was the admin, then where did you find out about this person? Does this person have a bitcointalk account? If not, then there is really nothing you can do. He's taken your money, and there is pretty much no info of him anywhere. Don't ever deal with random people without escrow.
The whole telegram group seems to have an artificial amount of followers. It's probably got very little organic members.
Topic: Administrator of a large telegram channel - Scammer! (Read 182 times)
How did you get in touch with them? The profile linked here and the profile used in their administration team are different. What I fear is, you never contacted the right guy related to the website and sent money to a scammer pretending to be a part of the team. I have sent a message to their admin to reply here, let's wait.
Hi, everyone!
We 'd like to share with you a story of how the author of the Telegram-channel (https://t.me/cointrad) deceived us.
On 05.03.18 we appealed to him (Telegram: @ICO_Promotion) with a request to make an advertising post for our project.
After discussing the price of the post, we made prepayment of 0,06 BTC (his btc-wallet: 17AsqkBZYD5LT7WA12mxatgTRJ7rg1xgkk)
After receiving money, he stopped responding to messages and we did not get any promotional post.
He just ignores us. It 's strongly recommended not to follow this channel and to send complaints on him so that this fraudster could not deceive someone else. If anyone can help get the money back - we will be very grateful! Thanks for sharing!
