I had a feeling colires was a scammer trying to earn merits to build cred. Because this is all based on screenshots, its hard to prove for sure it was colires that indeed scammed you (though I strongly believe he did at this point).
All those screenshots point to telegram account Remi Guile, and I haven't seen any proof of that account being linked to colires. However, I do share your suspicion. He's involved in the shady business of AWS account sales, an unscrupulous activity at best.
I have. I also linked the scammer's Kraken address (1MyQ2Cd4Eoqm2467276ZjgU5YYuCRR7arZ) to an
older accusation against colires:


I don't think this is some well coordinated sabotage attempt by a rival scammer. I'm pretty sure this is an alt account of Vareole or another long-time forum scammer, and time for a tag. Wonder if they think burning the account was worth it... who knows what kind of idionomics go through scammers heads.
