Looking at everything that has happened, the scheme seems quite clear. You approach people buying or selling links while impersonating legitimate companies. Sellers are convinced to publish links with the promise that payment will arrive later. The funds are sent to a third party, who then transfers the money to you in crypto.

This setup allows you to remain anonymous while shifting all the risk onto other people. If something goes wrong, the person who received the original payment appears responsible, while the companies whose identities you use also suffer reputational damage.

The easiest way to stop this type of scam is simple: nobody should agree to move money between parties, and nobody should publish links without receiving payment first, even if it’s only a small test payment. Once people start following that rule, the entire scheme stops working.

What I find most interesting is that you seem to know details about business relationships and contacts that are not publicly known. That means you’re not some random outsider. You clearly have knowledge of the industry and of people who have worked together in the past.

At this point, I think it’s only a matter of time before more people connect the dots and realize what’s really going on.
