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) conjan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2461572) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5024849.msg49264896#msg49264896) meraman88 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1305085) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5092260.msg49265116#msg49265116) Bindi22 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=817566) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5082824.msg49265207#msg49265207) julifem (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=351072) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5097974.msg49265131#msg49265131) Knute53 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2180244) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5060118.msg49264970#msg49264970) User1991 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=888222) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098204.msg49265159#msg49265159) viiktor (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1785619) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5090873.msg49265004#msg49265004) STEPAN777 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1568970) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098150.msg49265269#msg49265269) boruto99 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1487848) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4613699.msg49264598#msg49264598) Crypto86 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1256215) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1763606.msg49265045#msg49265045) Jblastmp (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1858317) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2035962.msg49265097#msg49265097) Frins87 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1247271) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098187.msg49265616#msg49265616) I think it's worth making this phrase "Do you want to earn FREE 0.1 BTC without any investment?

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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. 1 bengo10 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1856388) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095606.msg49265388#msg49265388) 2 ramzantrader01 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=773966) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5073422.msg49266349#msg49266349) 3 Mrx2002 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=550987) his message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5097531.msg49266426#msg49266426) Title: Re: Just found spam bot Post by: TheBeardedBaby on January 18, 2019, 02:47:00 PM @ 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 |
