The major issue I have here is that I received a screenshot of the BitcoinTalk message I had sent to minerjones which is how I had confirmed that it was the same user from here.
Currently it appears the position being taken is that the telegram account was a scam. This leads me to believe that either his account on BitcoinTalk or BitcoinTalk itself is compromised.
I would like to see this BitcoinTalk message that you received. (Meaning a screen shot, not simply a copy and paste). The only message posted by "minerjones" is that you're dealing with a scammer. I am most interested in the actual name used on that message since there are many fake "minerjones" variations. i.e. with a basic search....
