Title: Possible inpersonation of coinnewb on bitcoin.de Post by: ne0phyte on April 18, 2013, 12:48:05 PM Hi,
I just came across a post on bitcoin.de where a user "coinnewb" who registered today is offering processing power of "one of his" Avalon miners for BTC. Since I can't post anywhere else nor write PMs: please someone ask coinnewb (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=60989) if that is him. He posted exactly the same picture as the bitcointalk coinnewb in this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178635.0;all) but he re-uploaded it today on a German image hoster. THis is the thread on bitcoin.de: https://forum.bitcoin.de/biete/719-haette-wer-interesse-anteilen-von-einem-avalon-63gh-s-miner.html Title: Re: Possible inpersonation of coinnewb on bitcoin.de Post by: greyhawk on April 18, 2013, 12:59:11 PM Yeah, that's a scammer selling shares to a sockpuppet alright. Exact same "Schriftbild".

It was also waaaaay too fast. Interest, PM, answer, payment within a few minutes after creating the thread?... C'mon I updated my post there linking to this thread and warning that it's a scammer.
