Or is the same hacker that create the ransomware and also could be a member of this forum?
Anyone can register on the forum. You do not need to trust those who do not have messages on the forum or there are very few of them to trust.
Yes, they can offer their services and sometimes they are trusted and paid money. You just need to think a little. For example: Would you give your money to a random person on the street, in a store, in a bank? No, of course, if it is a large amount and if a stranger does not ask for charity.
In some cases, when the amount is small, the affected user may risk money. But he will most likely get hurt again. Lost files and lost money. Extortionists can trick you out of money, and then demand even more, they will come up with a hundred reasons and everything will look like you are to blame.
