This type of scam has been used by this person, for months or years now.
It's not impersonation, and I honestly haven't a clue how it works or why it works.
I know it has something to do with the change of name of the conversation. Because it happens on every chat.
Scammer would contact somebody and make a group chat with me and that person. Or ask that person to make a group chat with me. After some conversation "I" would show up (Lucas) and say something along the lines of ''Yes, I can take the funds, send them here: " and an address that is NOT MINE. This message is fake, sent by the person who is performing this scam, and for some reason, on discord it looks like it was sent by me.
if anyone has any idea how this works, if it's an exploit related to a discord client or something like that, please do let me know.
Some pictures of what it looks like:
As you can see, he sends the messages all in a quick succession, making it look like normal interaction. The user DOES NOT CHANGE HIS NAME but the message appears to have been sent by me. In this picture you can see it was not sent by me, as it shows I have the guy blocked.
and here is another situation where he succeeded in scamming, using @Liars as MM
before changing the name of the chat, there was a message that looked like it was sent by @Liars but it was not, and after the funds were sent, that message was removed to make @Liars look like a scammer.
If you have any information as to how this is performed, please do let me know ASAP.
