Title: Me Scammer?
Post by: greymatter on April 07, 2016, 11:04:41 PM
Sorry, not sure if this is the right place to post.  But, I haven't logged into my account in years, just used it to lurk.  I have like one post.  When I logged in today, I saw something about negative Trust rating and some random person who I have no idea who it is saying I'm a scammer.  This is just not true, I haven't even traded anything here.  Help?

There's graymatter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=271823) with an awfully similar name.
Asking tomatocage himself however will probably clear up the situation, who can tell if not him.

oh right. merchants have a lot of impersonators. however it appears OP registered before that user so it's actually pretty unfair.
IMO creating an account would be better than waiting for tomatocage to get online. looks like he's very inactive.

How did you use it "to lurk" without logging in? The one post was made today. Have you purchased the account recently?

Send a message to Tomatocage but you might want to come up with a better version of events before then:

It is better to create a new account and with a different name since you have only made 2 posts with this one.
I know you have gathered a lot of potential activity over time but it is better to go with a different alias.

Pming Tomatocage would be fine but I do not think he will agree to this.

Yep, agreed with you here.

Neh, they haven't. ATM, they've 14 potential activity points. Basically,  potential activity points doesn't depend on the time they've spent online or how long before they've registered but it(they) do depend on when they've made their post(s).

Not sure whether you intended to use such name and tried to impersonate anyone for sending payment. But you can try messaging tomatocage and he would surely come up with a answer or solution.
