Title: Just found spam bot
Post by: StartupAnalyst on January 16, 2019, 04:25:27 PM
Just noticed the work of the spam bot. sends messages with referral links from different accounts, one message per account (which violates forum rules).


Here are examples:

letuan68 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1967993) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg49265024#msg49265024)

 I think it's worth making this phrase "Do you want to earn FREE 0.1 BTC without any investment? Do you want to earn FREE 0.005 BTC per referral? Join NOW! bitraw.io/?r=377406" on some kind of blacklist.

letuan68 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1967993) and conjan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2461572) were already nuked.

meraman88 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1305085) and Bindi22 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=817566) are still active and will be nuked by mods soon.

For these cases reporting to moderator will be enough,no need to create a thread.

Edit: You can add one more user : Frins87 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1247271) (Reported)

Most have been dealt with, and there's  been a few others which I'm keeping an eye out for. One of the users with more than 28 activity have been reported to higher ups. I'll be keeping an eye out for the other one as it seems like it may of been a one off, compared to the others that keep on spamming it. Thanks.

To OP,
Just hit the report to moderator button and leave a comment in the report comment box. It will be dealt. There are bots all around the forum. We have seen them in the past and we will see them in the future too.

Thanks for the info, I knew it.
I created a thread to stop this particular bot, because it uses the same text from different accounts everywhere, which allows it to continue sending spam even if the account is blocked.

update.

Three  more accounts were found and a very suspicious topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099033.msg49293969#msg49293969), I suppose it is used to deceive forum users.

@ OP
If you find only isolated cases, then just report them. If you find a thread full of bots you are most welcome to post here > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4720640.0
