👤 Scammer Information
- Alias: acemaster
- Telegram Username:
@acemasterx— still active - Real Name (from his own PayPal receipt): Rashid Harem (PayPal also renders it "Harem Rashid")
- PayPal Address:
[email protected] - Telegram Channel: https://t.me/+c4BFkeRm1JEzZDlh — "AP exams", 160 subscribers
- Profile Bio: "https://t.me/+c4BFkeRm1JEzZDlh — TELEGRAM keeps on deleting our channel we made a new one join so u don't miss out."
- Channel Description: "CHANNEL keeps on getting deleted — we provide almost all the AP exams — INVITE all ur friends!"
- Payment Methods: USDT (Ethereum) and PayPal friends-and-family
- Amount Taken From This Buyer: $1,500 (PayPal) + 999.6 USDT ≈ $2,500
- Current Status: Still active. The account and the channel were both live when this report was published.
He advertises his own takedown history as a selling point. A seller whose channel "keeps on getting deleted" is not a victim of Telegram — he is telling you how many times he has already been reported.
The same buyer was scammed by a second seller in the same period. See our companion report on Jerome Thomas (@jerome_th / @satleaksjerome).
📦 What Was Promised
-
Leaked AP exam material — the whole premise of his "AP exams" channel: "we provide almost all the AP exams".
-
A leaked SAT, delivered before the test. The buyer paid specifically on that promise:
"Since you said you can give me sat in time, I will just send you 1000usdt!"
-
A "leaked version" of the paper, handed over early enough to study from.
-
The buyer was not trying to be clever about it — he genuinely believed he was buying preparation:
"I really called you to do well on the test"
💰 Verified Transactions
1. $1,500 by PayPal — to Rashid Harem
PayPal address: [email protected]
After an earlier payment fell through, acemaster asked for the money again:
acemaster: "okay bro , when you resend let me know." Buyer: "Then I can send the money back to PayPal, right?" acemaster: "yes"
The buyer resent it. The PayPal receipt reads "You sent $1,500.00 to Rashid Harem", with the confirmation line "We'll let Harem Rashid know you sent it." The receipt is timestamped 2:30 AM; PayPal does not print the date on this screen.
This is the single most important piece of evidence in the case: the scammer's payment account carries a real personal name.
2. 999.6 USDT on Ethereum — matched to the second
Before sending, he haggled over five dollars, which is what a real seller of a $1,000 product never needs to do:
Buyer: "U mean it's ok i send only 995usdt??" / "Or just send 1000usdt all??" acemaster: "it's okay man 5$ if nothing , send whichever one you like 👍"
The buyer withdrew the full 1,000 USDT from Binance. His receipt and the public blockchain agree to the second:
| Buyer's Binance receipt | On-chain amount | On-chain time (UTC) | Sender | Transaction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 USDT withdrawn, 2026-06-05 21:49:31 KST | 999.6 USDT | 2026-06-05 12:49:47 | Binance 18 hot wallet | 0xa4ae8b1c…e8b30251 |
Receiving address: 0x89c89deff728dc0ba60f4782cbda8998390f7778
The gap between the buyer's withdrawal receipt and the on-chain arrival is 16 seconds. There is no ambiguity about who sent what.
About the screenshot above: this is the buyer's full Binance withdrawal history and it covers both sellers he was scammed by. Only the 999.6 USDT withdrawal of 2026-06-05 belongs to acemaster. The 340, 510 and 499.7 USDT rows were paid to Jerome Thomas and are traced in that report.
🔍 Where the Money Went
This is the part worth reading if you are trying to get money back.
The address acemaster handed out is not a personal wallet. On-chain it is a contract — a
minimal delegatecall proxy (implementation
0x80d0f44d…be8a174a)
created by the factory
0xFc27CD13…66BD3143.
In its entire existence it has handled exactly two token transfers: the buyer's money in, and
the buyer's money out.
18 minutes and 48 seconds after the 999.6 USDT landed, an automated sweeper wallet
0x84BA51A3…2888888 —
an address with 210,764 transactions — moved the full balance out in transaction
0x13808a6e…85df936a
to the hot wallet
0x50eF5ed0…92f5955,
which has processed 115,069 token transfers and was itself funded from CoinEx.
That pattern — disposable per-customer deposit contract, automated sweeper, high-volume hot wallet — is how a custodial exchange or payment service issues deposit addresses. In plain terms:
- acemaster did not give out a wallet he controls directly. He gave out a deposit address at a service that holds an account in someone's name.
- That service almost certainly holds KYC records for whoever the deposit belongs to.
- Combined with the PayPal name Rashid Harem, there are now two independent identity trails.
🧊 What Actually Happened
Nothing was ever delivered. He simply ran the clock out:
- The money went through in June. 999.6 USDT on June 5, plus $1,500 by PayPal.
- September 3 — a fresh promise. After weeks of nothing: "I won't disappoint this time".
- September 6 — the buyer asks for the goods. "Then when can you give me leaked version".
- September 8 — the excuse. "I don't know an estimate timing". That is the last real answer he gave.
- September 11 — the buyer gives up arguing. "ok 👍".
- September 13 and 14 — silence. "Bro" / "You didnt give me lol" / "??" — no reply.
There was no refund, no leak, no AP paper and no SAT. The buyer summarised it himself:
"That's why im soooo broke"
⚠️ How to Protect Yourself
- A real leak does not cost $1,000. As we told this buyer before we ever saw his receipts: "legitimate leaks simply don't come at that kind of price. If someone is offering them for only $1,000 or $2,000, there's a very high chance it's a scam."
- "My channel keeps getting deleted" is a confession, not a disclaimer. It means the account has already been reported and removed repeatedly.
- PayPal friends-and-family has no buyer protection — that is exactly why he asked for it. But it does attach a real name to him, which is how we know he is Rashid Harem.
- "I don't know an estimate timing" is the exit. Once a seller stops giving dates, the money is gone; every extra week is just distance between you and your payment.
- If you have already paid, report @acemasterx to Telegram, open a PayPal dispute naming
[email protected], and file a report with Binance quoting transaction hash0xa4ae8b1cb18bbffdd390fe454d01ef89586a72380dcff571063772dee8b30251.
✅ Conclusion
acemaster (@acemasterx) is a scam. A buyer paid him $1,500 through PayPal and 999.6 USDT on Ethereum — around $2,500 in total — for AP and SAT leaks that were never delivered. The crypto payment is confirmed on the public blockchain and matches the buyer's Binance receipt to within 16 seconds, and his own PayPal receipt identifies him as Rashid Harem. He stalled from June to September and then stopped replying. The account and the "AP exams" channel are still live.
The same buyer was taken by a second seller in the same window. Read the companion report: Jerome Thomas (@jerome_th / @satleaksjerome). Between the two of them they took roughly $3,850.
