The title says it all. Today I was approached by an unknown person on telegram who claims to be a reseller of telegram usernames. He offered me a total sum of 8K USDT for my username. Being aware of this method of scamming I decided to troll this guy a bit, pretending to know nothing. Note that my username isn't of anything significant, I just used some words and set it.
Upon doing a reverse search on the scammers account, I was able to acquire these information. The fact that he is using a TG premium and an old account makes him more realistic. These guys are trying hard to make themselves look genuine.
This type of scam is now common on Telegram. I myself have faced it, a few days ago, two such scammers messaged me. One of them said my Telegram username rate was $2500 and the other said $3000. Out of that, I agreed to $3000. Then that scammer told me that the Fragment fee is 5 percent or has to be paid in advance which is $150. For this, he created a link which looked exactly like the official Fragment link but whenever I copied and pasted it in a browser, that link turned into another link which looked exactly like a scam site. So I blocked him right away. Because the website that was shown there was not the Fragment website. If I had connected my tone key on the website and given them $150, I would not have received a single go back, they would never have given me the $3000 they promised. This way I was saved from a big scam. If ever you get a offer from Telegram or WhatsApp or any other social media that is too good to be true then, it is definitely a scam. How can a normal username worth that much, If they really want to buy it they can still offer a price for my username from official Fragment site but they didn't. If you ever face this kind of scammer then please check your username on Fragments official platform if it's true or not thank you
