@beat, display name "beat MM", is a known fake middleman. The pattern is always the same. The seller agrees to use an MM, hands you his own "middleman", drags you into a group that was created minutes earlier with official looking bots sitting in it, and the payment goes straight to them. That is what happened here. peno333 supplied the MM the second OP asked for one, the group was built on the spot, and he then offered to skip the MM entirely.

The Telegram account is his, he posted it in his own sales threads here. Nothing was paid, so this is an attempt and nothing is owed to OP. Tagged as attempted scam with a fake middleman, amount 0, and banned.

Never take a middleman from the person you are dealing with. Check the forum's own trusted MM and contact him through the profile linked on the forum. If the other side insists on his own MM or on a group he made, the deal is already a scam.
