Hi.
For several months now, I have been following a scammer who offers to earn a lot of money in a short period of time through Localbitcoins accounts with "pro-trader" rank.
He says you can earn $20,000 or 5 BTC and split the profits in half with him. Let's take this scammer farm apart.
Here is the list of currently detected fraud profiles:
A scammer constantly creates the same topics in the Russian and English sections. In the Russian section.
In the Russian section I have already created a similar investigation
CКAM нa Localbitcoins !!! and I believe that in the English section, too, will not hurt to inform as many people as possible.
So, scammer creates similar themes with earnings at Localbitcoins, for example:

As we can see, the text is very similar in content and it is most likely created by the same person. Why do I think so?
Based on my observations, scammer creates a new profiles and a new address in telegram, because the previous ones receive a negative feedbacks, that is, he treats them as one-day profiles, he does not go to the old profile after a while, and the addresses in telegram, he just deletes.
At the moment, here's his full list of addresses in telegram: | @andrik11 | | | @bitcoinsgeos | | | @kennybitcoins | | | @drip2hardd | | | @BoldLikeUs | | | @Dortmund113? | | | @CristianoL7 | | | @Nova8i | | | @grodogrodo | |
| @Zlaten09 | | | @bradlit | | | @AleksandrGast | | | @estebanbtcs | | | @hoobitcoin | | | @visalyV | | | @bwakevingates | | | @stastche | | | @artfuldodgerr | |

Now let's find out what his fraud is all about.
I talked to him at one time, he told me that he lives in America and the phone in his telegram account started at + 1-800 ....
He says that he needs an account with a high rank, so that the announcement of the exchange was at the top of the top, he would do it himself, but he just does not have this account,and he wants to make money right now.
Next he will offer you to give your account to him, so that he can quickly arrange everything, if you agree, the account is likely to be taken away from you and scammer will change your password and mail on it.
If you refuse to give him an account, he will say that it's okay, no problem! Then he will send you this template for you to place this ad from your account.

After you place this ad, it will say that as soon as you are contacted by a potential client, write everything I say, that is, in fact, you will just be a transmitter between victim and scammer.
He will provide his details and as soon as the deal is opened, he will provide a fake screenshot of the check for payment, and your task will be to persuade the victim to release the bitcoins, they say, the payment has already passed, soon will be credited to the account, you can already release the bitcoins.
And if the victim releases his bitcoins, scammer will just dissolve and you won't see it again.
The essence is that scammer will always be in the shadows and in fact you will be substituting yourself, and you will not prove that it was 3 persons, you just cheated and will do the extreme, you will get nothing but problems and damaged reputation on the exchange, as well as possible problems with the law.
So don't trust such offers, there's no such thing as easy money, you're just gonna get framed and cheated.
THIS IS SCAMMER!Attention, scammer may use new methods of deception that have not yet been made public.It constantly creates self-moderated topics and removes all uncomfortable information, and sometimes even closes a topic at all, it can delete one topic in one section if it is noticed and create a topic in another section. Be careful!
At the moment, this scammer has an active account -
