I confirmed a screenshot with minerjones on telegram
...aaand there you have it!
If OP is telling the truth here's the easiest way for this scam to work:
*OP account is compromised in the days prior (my guess is he clicked on a link and was phished out of his forum password) .
*OP is then contacted via telegram by the scammer and is asked to send a message to minerjones on bitcointalk to confirm.
*minerjones sends op a msg stating that it's not him but because op's account is compromised the scammer has the ability to delete the msg and op does not see it.
*OP is contacted via telegram by the scammer with a shopped screenshot.
