The most frustrating thing is this is just a wack-a-mole game. Red-tagging Kami90kaza will just dive the scammer to create a new account, and prey on other unsuspecting victims. I wish there was a way to effectively educate newbies about this threat. One thing that occurred to me was to perhaps make a sticky thread that details all the ways scammers can dupe victims. Royce777 created a pretty good one, but unfortunately the Impostor Scam is buried deep in his post, and is only briefly mentioned.
Maybe I'm being overly sensitive about this particular type of attempt because I was recently targeted, and then I wrongly accused a respected member of the community as being the culprit.
Here are a couple of posts from newbies complaining about this particular account:
@Kami90Kaza, is trying to scam on telegram. Luckily I saved screenshots
.
1. He requests escrow of your choice.
2. He makes a dummy account impersonating the escrow representative. I opted for professional escrow. So this was impossible to do since my contact uses their real name and telegram is for communication only. He then tries to create a chat group between you and his dummy account.
3. He will require you both to put up a % transaction to be held by his dummy account.
What a loser lol 😂.

Please be careful. kami scammed me out of $450. I created a willing to buy post and he impersonated MinerJones Escrow. I sent funds and he bailed. Do not do any business with him. Beware. It seems like he has several accounts on the forum and uses them to respond to his own post. Makes it seem as if he has transactions with people to lure others in. BEWARE!
Price 80$ per acc. Happy to use escrow. For bulk lower price telegram: @gugisa1112
