Good to know @THeNewAnon135246 That particular user you tagged has about 4 similar projects he kept posting about in a short span of time and all of them require downloading wallets. The ANN threads are all self moderated and you can even see that a number of user comments have been deleted. Hope the tag and probable deletion of his posts by mods will slow him down.

I wish mods took a step further and ban him for continuously trying to spread malicious wallets. I've reported him and his fake ANNs for about a week. He has a bunch of alt accounts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132568) one of which I was able to get banned for plagiarism. Title: Re: OWL Coin - Malware in the wallet [DO NOT DOWNLOAD]!!!

True, either the mods aren't considering deleting the threads or they haven't seen the reports yet (which i highly doubt)Nuking the user would be the best step right now. He is deleting all warnings about his scam from other members Need to check all topics from this scammer AlexDuma Yeah! I saw more of his threads.-snip- They all have the same goal of scamming/spreading malware. One of the projects was even discovered to have plagiarized a white paper, A scam accusation was opened against sucrecoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132047.0) but the OP of the thread has even never bother to respond to the accusation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132170.0) There is definitely a lot in common with these projects since AlexDuma has been involved in announcing them in his self moderated threads.
