Sirvan has repaid the original victim 5K HBAR of his first scam that got him banned from Hedera Community.
That was 1K more than he stole. His victim has forgiven him for the theft.
@06Arvs@change4sats@hedera@HbarPadOfficial Apologies, can you DM us the details of the events so we can look over them, we're not aware of what this discussion is talking about.
Investigation: @kingcrypto1337 and claims of scamming investors / fake charity.
Our conclusion:
Proof about the charity donation was forthcoming and we have no evidence they knew that art was in use elsewhere.
We do not have any hard evidence they are a malicious creator.
Sirvan is back and he's creating multiple accounts to try and scam people.
His most recent discord accounts were: mashti#0749 and crazy boy#9177
He's boasting about having 10+ accounts and 'lurking in the shadows'
Always get creator to facilitate P2P trades. Be safe.

@kingcrypto1337 We never called you a scammer or a fraud.
We privately messaged you that we were given information concerning your project that you were not selling art that was yours and were looking into it. We exchanged DMs and you provided enough proof for us to not post about your project
We posted a wallet address that we believed to be Sirvan's since it contained his Glitch Punk.
We were wrong:
0.0.356354 is Xact Wallet Escrow, NOT scammer wallet address
We apologize for the confusion this may have caused and are looking into better ways to solidify findings.
@PixelArt_hbar This does not appear to be your art, a simple reverse image search finds this rights reserved piece you see to have just lowered the quality of. Please dm within 24 hours to explain before we post. Thank you.
@PixelArt_hbar This also does not appear to be your art. You have slightly adapted color from another artists work. If we find a third piece that is stolen, we will not wait 24 hours to warn hedera users. You now have 12 hours to dm us. Thank you.
@mehrdad80009 appealed our findings that he is implicated with sirvans scam.
Sirvans know wallet funded this account on the Twitter profile https://t.co/6Tsne2Olu7
It is the only funding transaction for that wallet.
Our conclusion stands. This account is also a scammer.
@mehrdad80009 @zareei_reza @Amirmos2000 We are in DMs investigating this appeal in our investigation into Sirvans scam and this account ties to sirvan.

@mik71457971@BarHBARian@NewsHbar Clarification:
We are not officially linked with @hedera but would love their support. This account is run by @HGP_Patches from @HGraphPunks to centralize investigations we’ve been doing and provide a stop gap solution for catching scammers until we have an official method.
:)
@RTaugu @zareei_reza @mehrdad80009 @Amirmos2000 Yeah, but you need a police report and other information we would not have, and would need to be the person scammed. We are not equipped to execute that at this time, only investigate and inform :)
