Title: Please add negative trust to jx9200059
Post by: kulme on March 20, 2016, 09:32:31 PM
He has been scamming for a long time it seems , since he already has 2 negative trust on his profile.

He scammed me for 0.5$ for a google voice account he never sent.

His first thread was here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1400649

After I claimed about him scamming, he soon started another one today https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1405697  so people would overlook the scam.

Can someone with default trust rating please add a negative trust for him .


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Happened:
User scammed me for 50 cents. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=387022

He has a thread here where he was selling google voice accounts. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1400649

I contacted him and asked to buy one account.

Conversation:

He never replied after that, and today created a new thread to sell again and scam other people.

Edited. I haven't detailed it much as it was just a small amount with me. But I believe he has been scamming others too, who probably haven't complained due to small amount. Thanks xetsr for adding negative trust.

OP glad it was only $0.50, could have been worse.  Boggles my mind that people ruin their trust scores for pocket change.

Check his untrusted feedback - my guess he was trying to get as much as possible before abandoning the account.

You also have to keep in mind most of these scammers are addicts (drugs, gambling, etc), from a poor country where a dollar can go along way or just bored kids looking for laughs.

Scamming people is a pretty cuntish way to get laughs. Honestly, just take the hit and move on, it could've been worse. Unless Bob pop's up around here and refunds you that's your only option.

I wouldn't have sent more than a dollar. I sent 50 cents, only because someone(not a newbie) on his thread posted about having received an account. Probably bait, but since his account was well worth over 50 cents, I didn't expect him to scam. Anyways not an amount I would care much about, but atleast he won't be able to scam more from his account and probably lost more on it.

wtf? he could just easily get about $0.50 on yobit signature campaign if he really need the cash - should be no sweat. The more he'd scam if someone sends him about $5 and so before this account could scam again, just give him the red.

Do sig campaigns allow negative feedback? He scammed for at least $150 according to his untrusted feedback that doesn't nclude what hasn't been reported.

Didn't notice the untrusted feedback? Making the account worthless to those not trying to scam.

You'd be surprised mate. Seen people scam for less than that. Mostly gambling degenerates who want micro btcs to make bets dice sites.

Do sig campaigns allow negative feedback?
Yoshit allows anyone in its sig campaign. Plenty of scammers and tagged members don't care about their neg ratings as they are accepted in that signature campaign.

Not that the bot takes Untrusted feedback into account anyway
PM hilariousandco (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=164822) about any of those.
I've done it a few times and the respective users are no longer part of the campaign.

I've added the following to the op:
Rule update:
Users with negative feedback from defaulttrust members are no longer permitted on the campaign. If you sign up you will be removed.
Please report any spammers or users with negative feedback directly to me. Thanks.
Ah, rule change, neat. Didn't know about that

I've been contacted a handful of times when I'd given out negative trust for dual user accounts where they were both being used for signature campaigns and one or both were banned for the neg rep even though I'm not on the DT (seems some people really do read the trust page - who knew?)

Where the user doesn't appear to be claiming from the same campaign, I've changed to neutral, but yeh, it seems having any negative trust can get you booted.
