I've been a part of two recent attempts to scam our forum's lenders on Telegram.  If you use that platform for communication, please take every precaution to ensure with whom you are communicating.

The scammer will contact a couple of reputable forum members; one for a loan and the other for collateral escrow, then create an account to impersonate the escrow provider, and start a group discussion with the impostor account.

Please be careful, and lets prevent this dirtbag from scamming anyone.
