Title: My personal list of scammers Post by: johnsmithx on September 04, 2016, 11:55:41 PM My personal list of scammers I encountered on bitcointalk.org
Avoid these little lowlife fraudulent kids at all costs:
The general rule is: if the seller is a newbie, with no reputation, with no topic nor trust feedback, offering no vouches and/or selling from a locked or self-moderated topic and unwilling to go first or use escrow => AVOID. Also avoid anyone calling himself "we", it's just an early teenager desperately trying to pretend he - a little boy - is some kind of a legitimate business entity, truly laughable. Always check the trust feedback first and make sure that you have enabled "Show untrusted feedback by default" in "Profile / Forum Profile Information".

Also make sure that you keep consistent with access IP if you use the console, clean and fresh contact data (most important of course payment method). Too many people around here offer 'tainted' AWS accounts - that is, when they offer it 8) Title: Re: Beware of fraudulent AWS accounts sellers! Read inside Post by: BALIK on September 05, 2016, 08:06:27 AM Good and nice advice for those who do not know about what is difference between EC2 limit and non-EC2 limit and My best advice for those who wants to buy EC2 limit is to TV the computer of the seller if the account is truly EC2 limit.
Title: Re: Beware of fraudulent AWS accounts sellers! Read inside Post by: ajaxmoor on September 05, 2016, 09:47:58 AM To add, don't the AWS accounts also have to add a credit card to their account , which can lead them to get into trouble if the cards are obtained fradulently.

It is also possible to avoid buying a stolen/hacked AWS accounts following this your tips? Title: Re: Beware of fraudulent AWS accounts sellers! Read inside Post by: RFX on September 05, 2016, 11:08:35 AM This your information is very helpful and well detailed, thank you It is also possible to avoid buying a stolen/hacked AWS accounts following this your tips? No but it's good practice to follow when you buy one. You cannot force the seller to prove safety/provenience of the CC attached to account nor can you find out the time & place when the account on sale was created, but you can ask these questions and measure the answers along with all the other elements that the OP initially stated.

Title: Re: Beware of fraudulent AWS accounts sellers! Read inside Post by: johnsmithx on September 05, 2016, 07:39:40 PM I added a paragraph into the OP regarding opening multiple AWS accounts. I think maybe some people want to buy AWS accounts only because they think there is a rule 1 account per 1 person, but in fact no such rule exists and it's perfectly alright to have multiple AWS accounts in your name and address and even with the same phone and card number, only the e-mail needs to be different because it serves as a login.
As someone who mass produced AWS accounts for personal and professional needs I concur to all the above. Also make sure that you keep consistent with access IP if you use the console, clean and fresh contact data (most important of course payment method). Too many people around here offer 'tainted' AWS accounts - that is, when they offer it 8) That's a great point and this can actually be helped using roles. I added into the OP a mini tutorial how to access multiple AWS accounts from one single AWS account without logging into each separately. To add, don't the AWS accounts also have to add a credit card to their account , which can lead them to get into trouble if the cards are obtained fradulently. Yes, of course, but the problem with this is that you can't really check this. I don't know of any world-wide service where you can enter a card number and it would tell you whether the card is blocked or was reported stolen, but even if there was such a service you can't really use it because you can't see the card number in the AWS account settings. It shows only the last 4 digits. But if you buy an AWS account it's logical that you will change the card information so that you can actually make the payments (if that's what you are planning on, anyway).

You may be able to estimate the age of an account from looking at the Bills section. There you should see the list of months since the account was created, even if the actual bill for given month was $0. Title: Re: Beware of fraudulent AWS accounts sellers!

Sorry to hear that but what did you expect from a newbie selling from a locked thread so that nobody can comment there? A locked or self-moderated thread and a newbie seller are the most obvious red flags. On top of that why didn't you check his trust feedback? He started having negative feedback since 4 days old. Make sure you enabled "Show untrusted feedback by default" in "Profile / Forum Profile Information". Title: Re: 101416 Beware of fraudulent AWS accounts sellers!

Title: Re: My personal list of active scammers Post by: A! on October 14, 2016, 05:32:20 PM This guy is an alt of PokemonGoArea who is selling amazon aws. This very unfair practices your are doing.
Title: Re: My personal list of active scammers Post by: crairezx20 on October 14, 2016, 05:39:29 PM I think one of the best sign for scammers if they are not giving vouch and no feed backs about the vouch given from op its more chance that the seller is scammers.. if you to dont scam always go to high reputative members here and high rank accounts without negative trust.
Title: Re: My personal list of active scammers Post by: mindrust on October 14, 2016, 06:36:40 PM You should be more careful while trading with a newbie of course, but you can get scammed even by a legendary member if you are not careful. There are scammers with green trust too. As long as people trade their accounts for btc, we will never be safe.
Title: Re: My personal list of active scammers Post by: FredDag on October 14, 2016, 09:38:41 PM This guy is an alt of PokemonGoArea who is selling amazon aws Who knows... But if it is... so what? We all wear multiple hats. At least the adults do. This very unfair practices your are doing. Exposing scammers is unfair ??? Maybe the scammers feel it is unfair. Personally I'm grateful for the info provided & think what the scammers is doing is unfair. Title: Re: My personal list of active scammers Post by: mrcash02 on October 15, 2016, 03:41:15 AM My personal list of active scammers I encountered on bitcointalk.org Avoid these little lowlife fraudulent kids at all costs:
The general rule is: if the seller is a newbie, with no reputation, with no topic nor trust feedback, offering no vouches and/or selling from a locked or self-moderated topic and unwilling to go first or use escrow => AVOID. Also avoid anyone calling himself "we", it's just an early teenager desperately trying to pretend he - a little boy - is some kind of legitimate business entity, truly laughable. Always check the trust feedback first and make sure that you have enabled "Show untrusted feedback by default" in "Profile / Forum Profile Information". Thanks for the list. It's always good to see scammers being exposed, so forum administrators can take the reasonable steps to neutralize their accounts. Meanwhile, we can secure our transactions using escrows or only trading with trusted forum members. The scammers are everywhere and if we don't take care, we can have a big headache later...

Thanks!! Title: Re: My personal list of active scammers Post by: rmy-s on October 22, 2016, 11:07:55 PM Two active scammers: iPhone9 and LBCAIO to that list as well.
Also, asked to use an escrow with Nvidiafan or get him to go first and wouldn't do either. Bit concerning. Title: Re: My personal list of active scammers Post by: PokemonGoArena on October 23, 2016, 12:25:32 PM Some active Scammers: [UPDATED 23 Oct 2016]

Title: Re: My personal list of active scammers Post by: Heksd on October 28, 2016, 11:32:00 PM There are people on here with glowing feedback and Hero status that are prolific scammers.
Google the name. use keywords: Name * scam, bitcointalk userame for sale, look at the company they keep, remember that they aid and abet one another, so have lots of shill scam buddies with bought names shilling their posts. look at people constantly offering altcoin service at the cheap end. Google that service with the username and bitcointalk. Try it with scam and disappeared, etc. The altcoin section is the worst. It will be nice to see some exchanges added as well. Some play dangerous, and do not not have the protection of the Russian border. Title: Re: My personal list of active scammers Post by: Roolieman on October 29, 2016, 10:29:59 AM Here are some more scammers:
