Title: Another Scammer on forum (Fake BipolarBob) Failed Attempt
Post by: Neotox on September 20, 2015, 06:26:33 AM
Here A user "BiPolarBob 3dayban" registered today and said that he is original BipolarBob and his account is banned for 3 days so because of this he is offering a great Amazon gift card deal! giving $100 giftcard for just 2$

he posted a bitcoin address asking users to send 2$ worth BTC there
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1184870.0


when many user and Me asked for verification, I just asked him for what message I sent to BPB inbox if he was real BPB he can login and tell me what I have sent there
but he started giving stupid reasons, like his account is banned and he is not able to login to this, and I think if a user is banned they are still able to login to their account so he Lied about this

after that he started abusing
as you can see in his thread

he is a scammer who wanted to scam using BiPolarBob account ban story

Reported to Vod and shorena, but I think they are not online currently. PMing default trust members will probably be a good idea

I have already left him a negative trust but I doubt it will change its rating
I hope some default trust member read this thread and mark him since my rating doesn't affect his trust score so might be a newbie can fall in his trap

I informed nico, as he was online on another dice site, seems he tagged the account although I doubt the guy actually was gonna scam anyone seemed like a lame attempt at scam and a throwaway account

Neotox, keep up the good work. Keep the forum safe by scam busting these fake alts and bad scam attempts. I also read the thread of the BiPolarBob banned 3 days. But what i don't get is that BiPolarBob himself did not see it and did not post that that was a lie???

I know, I am not blaming BiPolarBob, I was just looking for all possible things that could have happend, but time saved BPB. Anyways BPB does not post that shit, I think he is kind of trusted on here. Why would he ruin his account for $2???

I saw it while surfing the unread posts and asked him to verify his identity by logging in or signing a message. He didn't respond to either and said that he can't access his account but it was online several minutes ago. It wasn't like him when he started cursing and people who are banned cannot post outside meta in the first place. I left a negative feedback just in case.

3 day ban, just like the fake ban of Quickseller?

Just coincidence or is someone trying to link QS to this scam attempt?

I am glad that no one fell for this somewhat lousy scam attempt by sending bitcoins to the address. Thanks for the mod who deleted the topic for the fast response. https://blockchain.info/address/1BDAdcNzWxB7LRWFHGKMGnfD73wrUipTXB
