The scammer telegram ID is @Adv3ntur0us.
He contacted me directly on Telegram saying he cannot login on Bitcointalk, and asked to buy ETH with XMR or BTC, saying we should use shasan escrow service or localcoinswap.
We finally decided to use shasan escrow service, so he opened a group chat a COPY of shasan telegram account with same name, same photo, no ID at first then he created the ID sashan32 (which is NOT the real one, the real one is shasan32, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1883627).

This is not the scammer's username; instead, it is the official username of the expert trader Adv3ntur0us on [LocalCoinSwap], who has conducted a total of 221 trades with a total volume of $108,529.00 USD. All the scammer did was place this trader's username in his bio to make it appear as if it were his own, but that is not the case.



This scammer claimed to have this large amount in his wallet because he was impersonating this trader, but the fool forgot that blockchain data is publicly visible!  Smiley

In any case, it’s good that you, OP, didn’t fall victim to this scam. It’s clear from the scammer’s wallet addresses that after successfully stealing from someone, he transfers the stolen assets to exchanges; I hope that the affected users track him down and report him to have his funds frozen.
