Yesterday a person through FB asked to purchase two artworks and claimed he only buys through MetaMask. So I uploaded the work and sent him the adrees.  
He then sent me a whatsapp saying he had problems with the purchase and asked me to send a telegram to opensea.io\_support, I was suspicious but went akong, of course a long technical reply came back asking me to send equivalent of 195 $ to a specifica adress…what???  
Of course I have not sent anything and Have no longer heard from the person!  
Should Inreport this scam to authorities?
