Topic: Ongoing Impersonation Scam Alert (Read 279 times)

The main scammer goes by the following TG username, which is NOT mine: @eflaltis



They change their bio all the time, too, now I am the owner of GIG and Askgamblers. Needless to say that I wish I owned Askgamblers... 

Two more instances: They hit up BC.Game yet AGAIN, asking to sell them something. And a few minutes ago, Leetbit owner approached me, informing me about them trying to sell them shit. We talked about all of hit, what happened with Shuffle previously and you wouldn`t believe it, but they did the exact same thing with Leetbit and managed to scam them for 500 bucks, too...

JFYI: "They" are trying again...

What was his actual motive?
He could take the $2k [from the Shuffle VIP manager] instead of waiting for you to give the tip back which is $1k.

Venturing a guess, that'll be like exposing his identity to Shuffle's staff in broad daylight. If he ask that manager to tip his account instead of efialtis's, who knows what shuffle has about him on their database and how far can shuffle track him down. The better and safer way [though ultimately futile] will be to "launder" the tip by having to [pun intended] shuffle it through other account.

To be precise, one of these guys was impersonating the Shuffle owner and I guess to prove that to me (was not my idea or anything), he insisted on tipping $$$$ to me. Now according to the real owner, whom I have talked to when we figured this out, the scammers somehow got some Shuffle VIP manager to tip me 2k... I don`t know how they made them do it... So I received 2k in my account, I said I didn`t want it, scammer insisted playing the good guy, so I "only" sent back 1k to the scammer (who then withdrew) while I lost the other 1k on Shuffle in a minute (I wanted to lose it).

Some sick **** if you ask me... lol

I find this quite interesting. Do I understand you correctly that you happened to be [for the lack of better term] an accidental tip-launderer? [I am laughing when I typed this]. The scammers tipped you, from someone else's account, and you returned the tip to [somehow] their own account?

I said it's quite interesting because not too long ago, I was overseeing a case where the root of the situation is of this nature. The withdrawal was frozen by the casino, ultimately thwarting the attempt, but I wonder if this is the same people being involved here.

I agree that it`s mostly for money and also... they enjoy it, they do it for fun - sounds crazy but I think it`s true. I have had a chat with BC.Game and my man told me some stories about such people, you wouldn`t believe it... "Fraud for Fun"...

Still, some of their actions seem weird... why would they pretend to be casino owners and reach out to me? Who knows...


Basically thanks to you and when I finally got to chat with with management. We looked into things together and yeah, the scammers did a solid job... they fooled me, also by sending me crazy big tips on Shuffle (which I tipped back)... the problem? Well, the account I tipped back to was the scammer`s and he/they withdrew. The tip I received, they somehow made Shuffle VIP host send it...

At the end of the day, let`s all try to be safe and secure. I am not usually doing business via telegram and one reason has always been to avoid such situations. Hit me up via email and verify if you are a casino operator interested in a cooperation.

Money is of course the ultimate motive. But looking at how he started targeting casino owners and the surrounding business, it seems a different motive too. I have been scammed by Noah (imposter), efi has been almost scammed (deceived, which caused reputational damage for shuffle), one of the shuffle staff has been almost scammed by Little Mouse (imposter). It has been a heaven for this scammer/group.

Efi, how did you get the fake Noah?

Is he doing it for money? Or is it all done by him to bring down the reputation of BTCGOSU by creating controversy?

Update: This keeps going on and they seem to try everything... they try to take control of my accounts, reach out to casinos pretending to be me, send me fake emails pretending to be casinos I work with, send me fake emails pretending to be casinos I am not working with...

I understand correctly that your BC's contact has been notified about what really happens and get things sorted out? Have you send something like an email blast to other casino representative for this issue? I can send PM to some of them, make them aware of this thread and that situation with impersonator if you want?
