You can report scammers and impersonators through this Telegram channel: @notoscam.

Also, if any scammer contacts you on Telegram, you can tap on "Report as Spam" at the top of the chat, or send an email to: abuse@telegram.org, including the scammer's username and any evidence you have to support your report.

Thanks for your help albon!
But we are a little late here. The scammer has already changed his username again, and I am still tracking his profile every time he changes it. I believe this is his full-time job, and he will continue to change his username, pretend to be another project owner, and try to scam their employees again. If his current username doesn't match with anyone, we cannot report it. But this scammer should be stopped somehow. I tried to warn the previous project, but their bot automatically banned me from their TG group. LOL.

Right now you should focus on making sure that all of your clients can contact you on a safer channel, probably the forum or through SimpleX chat. For casual things TG should be fine. But as soon as money is involved make them sign message or teach them to contact via forum or simpleX client. Regarding reporting the user, it probably won't work that much. Previously I had reported a couple of scammer but none were flagged as scam. They will just come back with another account.

I'll be frank with you, GOT, those ss/chats felt real personal. It's like he knows you well, maybe even has a personal vendetta against you. That's probably why he's targeting you and your business specifically, trying to damage it. I have a feeling that you have crossed paths with this scammer on this forum before, maybe engaged in some threads....
