Title: Huge scam trying to defame Monbux Post by: 12Bananas21 on February 11, 2016, 09:33:30 PM Now I know Monbox is a 1000% legit escrow. Well this "brand new" user is trying to set him up for a huge scam.
He sent me this... !!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!! Hi 12Bananas21, Ill take the 5 bitcoin, payment by Western Union. Escrow is a must for me to keep the transaction safe. I suggest monbux for escrow - He is on the forum approved Escrow list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0 monbux profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=133846 His feedback from previous Escrow trades: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=133846 If you want to trade let me know and ill drop monbux a pm with all the details for escrow. Thanks, John. Well obviously I'm not stupid. He must be. I smelled scam because I got almost the EXACT SAME message from a scammer a week ago saying this... !!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!! I'm selling 2.6 Btc at 1:1 Btc-e rate. Cash deposit. 5/3. Escrow I'll be used here or Lbc Ill take 2.6BTC if you are willing to use Escrow. I suggest monbux. monbux, he is on the forum approved Escrow list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0 His profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=133846 His feedback from previous Escrow trades: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=133846 Well go back to the first one... So I responded "okay let's go". He then sends this... !!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!! Just had a pm back from monbux - Hi MrWDune, No problem acting as Escrow for your currency exchange. Can you please forward the link below to my main Escrow thread on the forum to the 12Bananas21: "Link removed" @ 12Bananas21 when you have sent the BTC to the Escrow address in the first post in my thread please pm myself and the buyer the transaction I.D @ MrWDune when you have verified the funds have been sent you are safe to send payment to 12Bananas21 @ 12Bananas21 please pm when you have received payment so I can release the bitcoin to MrWDune Cheers, monbux Obvious I see a link and click it... Well just in case he changes it... The link is NOT A BITCOINTALK LINK. So I've taken the pleasure of screen capping it with my iPhone :-) http://s23.postimg.org/9gmwi3497/image.png (http://postimage.org/) free upload image (http://postimage.org/) So yeah. I'm tired of this.

Yeah, people here actually fall for that.
Phishing page /fake escrow page appears to be gone now but who knows if it's gonna be readded.
