Title: Bleutrade Twitter scam!!
Post by: EBK1000 on July 26, 2015, 02:39:23 PM
There appears to be two Twitter accounts purporting to be the genuine account for bleutrade.com exchange:

(i) https://twitter.com/BLEUTRADE - which I guess is the genuine one for the exchange

(ii) https://twitter.com/BIeutrade - SCAM Twitter account

The capitol "I" looks like an lower case 'l' (L) in Twitter and they are asking devs for BTC to add their coin to bleutrade, THIS IS A SCAM

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH - https://twitter.com/BIeutrade

They are using this BTC address: 16ztUChqkirfQ33Q8vgPW4ag9Yai1ZMK8x

I noticed this on twitter, and have notified my circle and the hamradiocoin folks.


Doesn't anyone actually use PGP to verify identities anymore? It could reduce a lot of these headaches.

How would you use PGP to verify a Twitter account?

Assuming you already have a key pair, try https://keybase.io/  It allows you to sign objects with your keys to verify practically any account or site.
