Hi, the scammer deleted his thread, so I make a new one.

Yesterday the user biznsher https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/biznsher-2679005 offered here in this marketplace to exchange huge amounts of xrp, he wanted btc and proposed an extraordinaire good rate and even going first.
So I contacted him on telegram (user @Bit2Money)
In telegram he insisted in using escrow localbitcoins or localethereum and refused forumescrow.
So I created a tradeoffer a localethereum at the rate of 790xrp/eth.
His username at localethereum is also "biznsher".
As my max for the first trade was 5.8 ETH, he agreed on telegram to send even more, exactly 5007XRP what is a very good rate.
So i funded escrow there and he wrote on localethereum, that he sends 5,007 XRP.
You notice, that looks very similar to 5.007xrp , but is 1000 times less.
I didnt notice that.
Then he sent to my wallet and pressed for immideate release ETH from escrow.
I noticed 5.007 XRP coming in.
Just his rush made me look twice...wow, I almost released all ETH for 5,007XRP....
This bastard would have made 1000Euros!
At least he cancelled the trade at localethereum.
Afterwards he deleted his offer and now the whole thread.

So guys, take care, here at Bitcointalk/Economy/Marketplace are almost only scammers trying their luck.
But this scam was really new to me....
