⚠️ $4,500 Deal Dispute Over a Failed Shielding Service
User @Nawaz (buyer) requested a permanent shielding service for an Instagram account from @Dexters for $4,500. According to the buyer, the payment was completed and the service was delivered, however one month later the account was banned for an alleged TOS violation.
• The buyer claims they did not post any content that violated Instagram’s TOS. However, @Dexters states that the account allegedly violated two TOS rules. Despite this, the buyer argues that the purpose of the “shielding service” was to prevent bans, and therefore claims the service was not properly delivered.
• @Dexters also stated that if the client does not personally appeal the ban, they will assist in unbanning the account, but claimed that @Nawaz tried to personally appeal it, which affected the possibility of further action from their side.
➡️ Following the incident:
• @Dexters has reportedly lost their HOLD badge.
• @Dexters reportedly offered $1,500 in compensation, but the buyer rejected the offer and is demanding full compensation.
UPDATE: @Dexters has won the deal dispute, as the buyer failed to follow TOS and instructions.

🚨 Instant Unban Scam Alert
Scammers are actively running a fake "instant unban" service, typically offering lower than usual prices ranging from $500 - $700 to lure buyers in.
The method: During the deal, the scammer subtly alters the IG username by swapping a couple of characters, gets the buyer to confirm the fake link in the MM group, then simply claims that username on an account they control and presents it as a successful unban.
For example:
instagram.com/alex_vazovsky → instagram.com/alex_vasozsky
A similar case happened with @wave as the middleman (See Images), but the scam was identified and the buyer was safely refunded.
Read the full breakdown and example here:

Leaked data from an internal payment server exposed 390 accounts, chat logs, and crypto transactions linked to DPRK IT operations, revealing a coordinated scheme generating around $1M per month.
➡️ Some of the most interesting findings from the investigation:
• Several users on the site luckyguys[.]site used the simple password “123456.”
• A DPRK IT worker’s device was compromised via an infostealer, exposing IPMsg chat logs, fake identities, and browser history.
• In the chats, they joked about KYC procedures in India, saying: “KYC is not a problem, we have strong Indian.”
👀 Fragment Testing USDT Payments for Stars
Recent test server changes show Fragment is preparing a new payment flow using USDT (ERC20). The update includes a separate payment interface, ERC20 popup, and QR-based top-up system, replacing the standard Wallet.sendTransaction method.
This points to a possible future where USDT is used alongside TON for buying Stars, usernames, and other assets, though nothing is confirmed yet.
💬 Would it be over for TON?
