Topic: I was scammed, so please learn from my mistake. (Read 362 times)

Your story is not new, if you are active in bounty campaign with telegram channel you will always see in the pinned post of all the ICO or bounty campaign that you are participating, that they will not pm you to solicit, sell or ask anything from you, it's much easier to scam people in telegram, because they can change their username and clone admin of any project.

In this case, I've only looked at his eth address used, I saw a lot of transactions from 0x758475A62d47471e78e86de0965946c057EA2333

At this point, I've googled it with and without site:bitcointalk.org.

Now I found the user and read his post history and voilà alt found with your (found) social media handle.

You can check some of the other search engines out there, they give pretty good results too, like DuckDuckGo for example. Bing is also okay, my point is that Google often has a problem with indexing recently made posts (created within a month or two).

What are you using to search for those?

I sent ssumons a PM asking him to respond to this thread.

I'm on the forum for the late 2017 but I've learned to not trust anyone on telegram.

A very common practice is to read the post here on bitcointalk and impersonate people on telegram trying to scam random users.

Anyway here you have several transactions with other addresses, maybe those are alts or are scammed too.

https://etherscan.io/txs?a=0x56030c4e4c13edadf172c0409a57376cb17c5ca3


Since transactions are done on a different day I think those are alts otherwise who is so stupid to send money in different days to the same person if he already scammed you?

And if we look more


That is the same twitter found from @quickseller.

Where did you meet this person? Who is gianluca?

I searched that telegram name LubnarahmanC last night and found a twitter handle LORDSTYLE007, but could not find a forum account associated with either the twitter handle or the telegram handle.

@2double0, sorry for your loss.

I don't see any reference to payment address in your conversation.  Can you post a screen shot with her asking for payment sent to 0x56030c4e4c13EdaDF172c0409a57376Cb17C5cA3?

If you do a google search for 0x57B174839cbD0A503B9Dfcb655e4f4B1B47B3296 some reddit posts come up with references to a scam.  Looks like this one has been at it for over a year.


Not to go way off topic, but can I ask a question about BOMB tokens; what happens when they're all gone?

Okay, I get it now.

Well, as long as you provide collateral with the same amount or higher of your loan, then why not?... but I'm not interested for the moment.

I think you don't get the thoughts,  I'm not addressing that you're a scammer or attempting to scam her or what. I just make an example which I don't get the approach earlier and I apologize for that.

Anyways, sorry for the loss. And better to use the scam format which was mentioned above to properly address the scam report.

This is the format that helps us to eat the information easily.

Yes you should. If they do not have forum username then there are nothing much we can do. We can only hope that this does not repeat again for people.

With a telegram username, you can change it anytime. So it's very hard to do anything about it.

I am on the same page. And you did the right thing.

Well 2 questions for you:

Is that format an official format to describe a scam here and I cannot say anything in my words?
So if she is not available on the forum and is only over Telegram means I shouldn't report her here?


1. She received them as I asked her first before sending and she agreed that it's a MEW address which can receive smart contract deposits. You must've checked before commenting this what I have shown in the transaction itself. She just moved the coins to another address and finally it reached 0x57B174839cbD0A503B9Dfcb655e4f4B1B47B3296
And she blocked me.


Oh well, why don't you just send me the exact amount here - 0x9a0eae8cd366c780bbd968af34cc1178a72152f1
Or just fill my full loan here - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50752593
And just forget what you gave me and move on? Easy-peasy huh?* /sarcasm

A scam is a scam in the end, be it worth a million dollars or just 1. It was my responsibility to stop people from getting scammed by her so I did, but I feel like the tables turned for me only. If me, 2double0 would have scammed even that much amount, you guys would just go and make shitty threads like "alt of Marco scammed and ran away", "he finally did what he wanted and woop, he pooped on lender's face"? That's it? No, I'll be seeing worst comments than these and red tags by many of those nonsensical troops who just go with the flow and try to sign spam such threads.

* I am having no intention to scam anybody here, you need constructiveness, I committed responsibility here - a responsibility of a brother to stop you from going towards bad path. So save yourself from her and many others who intentionally take you in trust and then make a big loot upon you.

The tg username is still active and this user maybe try to scammed another. Or maybe she really don't know what is internal transaction and she thought that you're trying to scam her by giving the txid which she never received any amount balance in her eth address.

Though it's not huge sum of money taken from you so you can forget and move on about that in no time.

I do not see anyone (bitcointalk user except Telegram @LubnarahmanC) to tag or talk to from your topic. Do you mind to follow the proper format suggested here: Scam Report Format (Use it to make scam reports properly)


Thank you.

I'm not making this for the purpose of getting a loan here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50752593

But, being a (good or at least) community member, it is my responsibility to prevent every other user here from getting scammed. So here's what happened:

Telegram @LubnarahmanC - The person who scammed me. We had one deal worth 2.5 bomb tokens before but I went through escrow that time so I was safe as the admin was himself an escrow there. But based on that °trust° part, she tried to sell me 75 bomb tokens more for $37.5



Then, she asked coins at 0x56030c4e4c13EdaDF172c0409a57376Cb17C5cA3

Initially*, she was asking for 0.2141 ETH so I went first and sent.

https://etherscan.io/tx/0xf5f6b494e869bb5d0cc138eaf0c2a6dfb833d347536dec54d77a06079ec142a5

For those who still need a proof:



It was actually an internal transfer due to a smart contract releasing it because I bought ETH from an exchange and sent her, so I'm sorry I cannot give a signed message here. After receiving them, she stated that this is not what she requested and demanded 0.039 ETH (*this is why I said "initially") more but I refused to give it to her. She asked me to wait some more time but then, blocked me and went offline.

These funds were sent to:
0xF83cecCC8CC7e090E79230AD7Bf311e072e743Ec  >
0x57B174839cbD0A503B9Dfcb655e4f4B1B47B3296

I also found this address over the forum itself here after tracing it down as to where she sent it:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.42783064

I think it's an Ethereum mixer or maybe an exchange.

The most important thing in a trade shouldn't be trust but both the entities' safety. You should definitely watch out for scammers and it is a must to find an escrow, most importantly a trustworthy escrow who actually handled many deals before and have a powerful track record.

That's all for now folks, be safe and don't get scammed like me.
