Title: An advice for bounty hunters
Post by: coinlocket$ on January 18, 2019, 10:41:33 PM
This is simple advice to find scammer using your data of social media here on the forum to get paid for bounties with your work.

Use this string on google:

Code:
Yoursocialmedia handle site:bitcointalk.org -yourbitcointalkusername

Example

@locketto site:bitcointalk.org -coinlocket$
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4446991.msg39801579#msg39801579

This user is using my telegram for his bounty.
(I will not redtrust him, he seems to have his own telegram reading his post history it seems to be a copy-paste-forgot to change some of his data)


@thelocketto site:bitcointalk.org -coinlocket$
This user instead is an abuser
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3713694.msg37787177#msg37787177

He is using my twitter for his bounty and reading his post history is a normal thing to him stealing other people identity for bounties, for this reason, I red trusted him.


This works for almost every social media, for Facebook has some problems

If you can't find anything you can also try this

Code:
Yoursocialmedia handle -yourbitcointalkusername

It will find more results but you need to search manually on bitcointalk results.

I didn't find anything on google, but the search tab of this forum helped me find one - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4456150.msg40247915#msg40247915 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4456150.msg40247915#msg40247915).

He/she used my fb account and someones twitter account for the sake of his/her bounty report. I didn't tag the user, it must be his/her first time doing it. Between google and the search tab, I'll prefer the search tab. Anyway, thanks for this info, this can be good for honest bounty hunters.

I tried looking for your twitter and I found two more users:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3407877.msg39074363#msg39074363 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3407877.msg39074363#msg39074363)

yeah, some users copypaste other users authentication posts and they forget to change data, you need to look on their post history to understand if it is a mistake from them or they are a serial scammer.

Thank you for that simple advice yet very much helpful.. There are so many hunters that copies your social media accounts, telegram accounts & much worst is your own articles/blog. This is always my problem because I seldomly review the spreadsheets and check people who plagiarize my work.. Sometimes they even reward those who plagiarized your work (those bounties who does not have a "proof of authentication") and you don't get nothing.. now with these simple steps I can monitor my bounties and get to report them early..  :)
