Title: Scam CNC Pool by carebear Post by: Tomatocage on May 06, 2013, 01:19:50 AM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195376.0 carebear (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=110719) (Scammer, Created a pool and pays out trivial payments while keeping the lion's share for himself.)
Title: Re: Scam CNC Pool by carebear Post by: BadBear on May 06, 2013, 08:30:58 AM I dunno, on the one hand he says it isn't his pool, even in the OP, but then reading the thread a little closer it turns out, at the very least, he's being paid by the owner.
I swear it wasn't me I. It was the guy on IRC!! I just setup his pool for him he had the linux server. He paid me 100 CNC to setup the pool and then he said he'd pay me 25 CNC per hour if I promoted this pool because he doesn't have a forum account. He has been true to his word for paying me because I requested the CNC upfront. Sorry guys :( If I had my own server I would have hosted a pool, but I don't and this seemed like a good idea. I am also mining on this pool too. Do you know any other ones? Dumb kid who got suckered by a scammer, or a scammer? I edited the OP a few hours ago to mark it as a scam pool after carebear expressed some...moral ambiguity towards doing it himself (which is what makes me think he's just a dumb kid and not really the scammer behind the pool).

A scammer who's been feeding off clueless people. I've binned the thread and reported to theymos as this is a clear case there. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the guy behind this scam.

Nobody who had been deceived and was scared of losing their reputation would start spouting off like he did
