I have checked the DM's - I ignored all the other ones that were not related to this issue, reviewing only ones from the raj account, from buckrogers(1message) and from minerjones (2 messages) and I would have to agree that the message does appear to be from minerjones - but I get a "hash mismatch" when attempting to verify the PGP

what we need is to have minerjones chime in here - it appears he sent the dm and did supply the xmr address:

I know somewhere above eseayan provided some screenshot of his exchange account that showed the first/last part of the "paid to" address and it appears to match the one supplied by minerjones. However, due to the nature of xmr - we cannot easily verify this txn.

I can see that the txn id: ed435c8c5aaa30a4ab9ea0ab0475986d3de27069538ff3535e096ed6a1a885a8 is a valid txn but that is about it. I cannot see the amount or addresses involved. having the address and transaction hash is only 2 of the 3 parts needed. we also would need the view key.

if minerjones sent that dm then he can provide verification on that xmr address whether it received funds or not. if minerjones did not send that dm - then it might be possible that at some point minerjones forum account was also compromised.

what it appears to me is that this raj account must have gotten access to eseayan's account and copied/used buckrogers dm to con/scam eseayan.

and then possibly changed the email address afterwards in an attempt to lock out eseayan.

---eseayan - can you get the view key from your exchange?

It is late and I am going to bed - I await to see what others say and what minerjones will say.
