Additional Information:Referring to @Elixar ad for crypto refund, I contacted @Elixar. I informed @Elixar that im willing to spend ~$8k for first refund. He answered that for such amount to be conducted, several steps must be taken but he will guide me through.
We agreed that i will get back to him after i got money in my bank account ready. Few days later i contacted @Elixar and told him im ready. Then @Elixar sent me 3 pictures (pic 3.1, pic. 3.2, pic 3.3, pic 3.4) with instructions i need to do. During completion of those steps, i got few questions, @Elixar answered them. No suspicious activity so far.
When I got ETH ready in my Trust Wallet, i contacted @Elixar so we could turn to last step of his guide. @Elixar said we need to exchange ETH to XMR.
For this he sent me a link1 (bitswap.fi) and instructed me to insert this link in Trust Wallet under Browser section in Trust Wallet. According to @Elixar, the reason for this is for wallets to be connected to each other (or something like that). After inserting link1 to browser, an error message popped up (pic 4). I sent @Elixar a screenshot.
@Elixar seemed surprised but instantly provided link2 (swapcow.io). This link2 loaded, I clicked on inside button, there were some loadings and after few seconds an error message appeared (pic 5). I sent @Elixar screenshot again. He reacted “huh“
During the time I was inserting link1 or link2 to Trust Wallet Browser, chat history between @maxmaxw3l and @Elixar deleted.
I asked @Elixar what happened to chat history, he ignored.
Since it was a late night, i thought he went AFK, I got to bed.
Next day he didnt respond, I kept bumping him. Later @Elixar barely answered that basically he has no idea what I am talking about and started dancing around by asking who have I been talking to etc. From that moment I stopped speaking with him (pics 6,7,8).
Unfortunately, idea came to my head to check my Trust Wallet account only next day after using link1,link2 (however, im not sure whether there is any difference) and I discovered money missing.
So according to the following circumstances, i realized that I got 100% scammed by @Elixar:
To sum up:
My main goal was crypto refund. I doubt it is possible anymore, so I insist a refund my stolen ETH. I perfectly know how @Elixar will defend or other people may say - 'chat start screenshots needed; it was @Elixar ALT etc'. The fact is that even though I would have more screenshots, @Elixar would still dance around by saying 'it was my ALT'. Chats do not get deleted for no reason, chats do not start the same way as its visible in pic 6. It is visible in pic 3.4 that @Elixar sent me crypto refund guide pictures (managed to forward them in time to my another telegram account for saving). This only proves that there was the same and only chat with @Elixar.
May guess that he is already doing exit scam but for higher-roll cases. For small cases - he lays low and waits for victims like me, plays legit vendor.
I refer this personally to admins - mark my words, the wave of @Elixar scams are coming up, just a matter of time.
If this isnt solved properly, I would like to ask everyone and every refunding groups/chats/website to public this scam case. Many other people may suffer as well.
Also, any information/advices on how to properly complete bank chargeback procedure (in case @Elixar refuses to refund) to recover money- is highly appreciated
Crypto address for a refund: will be provided soon.
thank you

- No, I have not spoken with anyone else. I was chatting to same chat from the start, during the moment @
Elixardeleted chat, till right now. Same chat = same person = @Elixar. I have been randomly already hit/contacted by his ALT few weeks ago; also @Elixarkept alerting in his ads regarding scammers. I was fully aware of imposters and that i need to watch them out. I dealt with @Elixarand only @Elixar. I checked his username probably 10+ times in total during whole process;
- Chat history deletion;
- Change style of communication + blocked me from his channel to prevent my communication with his members;
- More scam reports of @
Elixarshowing off in telegram groups, i.a. https://t.me/ScammingAwareness (pic 9, 10). my case about to be published soon too;
- More identical cases around regarding crypto refund;
