Got Scammed on Telegram After Paying in Crypto – Be Careful!

[Nirmal007]

Hi everyone,

I want to share my bad experience so others don’t fall for the same scam.

A few days ago, I posted this thread asking for help with cloaking Google Ads for a grey-hat business:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/need-help-running-google-ads-for-restricted-keywords-via-cloaking-grey-hat-business.1742157/

After that, this user https://www.blackhatworld.com/members/thebeastnetwork.2108235/ messaged me and told me to contact a Telegram account: @ValumeAIAgency.

They said they can give me a Google Ads agency account, but only if I pay with crypto (like USDT).

I trusted them and sent the money… but after that, they stopped replying. I got nothing back. No account. No answers. Just silence.

Its a kind of playbook they are using to steal people money.

Lesson Learned:​

If someone asks you to pay only in crypto, be very careful.
Once you send it, you can’t get it back. If something feels off, it’s better to walk away.
Just wanted to warn others so you don’t lose your money like I did.
Stay safe.

Everyone probably already knows this, but thank you for the advice and sharing your warning

Use the Dispute Resolution to open a case on this (I think the member has already been banned from the image you shared thou)

Tip for next time:
Only deal with member that are upgraded and probably have a sale thread on what service you are looking for

As @SirTop has stated, the member is banned. Sorry about your loss. Please don't do business on Telegram https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/avoid-scams-on-telegram-and-communicate-securely-on-bhw.1598013/

It's a shame you got scammed.

You bought from someone who is not allowed to sell on the forum.

Going forward, please only buy from members who have a paid membership, Premium, Jr Vips or Marketplace Sellers.

Escrow.com, Cryptomus, and NOWPayments allow you to make secure payments in cryptocurrency, where the buyer receives funds only after the agreed conditions have been met.
