Topic: Do not be deceived by sending PM. - page 2. (Read 429 times)
What he did wasn't really enough to avoid something as sending his user id in telegram doesn't prove anything or make the transaction legit it only proves the connection of the two accounts. It's not the same as having an escrow for your payment as they don't have that guarantee that you will have your money back when the other party will try to scam you. If you are a newbie trying to negotiate with someone else here in the forum I would suggest that you always try to use escrow when you are unsure with the other party.
So what you're saying is there's a scam trend where the scammer sends you an address to send to someone else. So that person attempts to impersonate you by doing this.
So if someone sent it to me and I sent it on the person it was sent to would expect to be dealing with me? Would uou not say something like "this address was sent to me via telegram by user @" with an optional (this isn't me you're dealing with but tbh this should be implied).

Hm, interesting enough, well I'm not ready to listen to any PM on my telegram channel, scammers will do anything to scam anybody, I don't talk to strangers, the best way is to change your privacy settings in telegram app so that you won't receive PM from anybody unless you PM them first
Long story in short. I believe some of you have read this story. I think it's quite important issue especially for newbies and this topic will serve as awareness.
I don't know how should I describe it since very long story. This type of scam story new for me. Its call triangle scam actually. Someone else on telegram would ask you send a btc address provided by him to a bitcointalk forum user in order to prove ownership. Don't do this, if someone ask something like that then write your own message like I am Coolcryptovator, I am talking on telegram with you and my telegram username is @Coolcryptovator. Simply sent someone else btc address to other bitcointalk user would led to cheat. Who know if that person who asked you he is dealing with other bitcointalk user and likely other user asked to scammer send btc address by forum PM to prove ownership? Perhaps he is using you to scam by sent his btc address. Hope you guys understand what I want to say.
