Posting this as to keep the community informed, not that someone falls for this since this is a tad bit sketchy behaviour.

After review, it seems most of the people posting in the following topic are alts of the OP. Most of the accounts are newbie, and have a small amount of posts. The last post for many of these users seems to be on the topic.

Topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5113684.20

After posting a response questioning this, OP removed my post in order to not be detected, and did not provide a response.

I'm not putting this in Scam Accusations as I have no proof this is a scam. But this does seem as if this user is either utilizing alt accounts to post positive reviews, or is telling his friends to do so.

I have just posted on their thread. Waiting for the response or to see what happens, either they remove or make a response.

It's not spam, I asked a serious question as to why you have so many newbie accounts posting positive feedback in your thread (as their last post) which is suspicious, and instead of answering to the request, you simply delete the post.

That's going to raise red flags.

I'm saying your service isn't necessarily a scam, but your thread does cause some doubt as to your service.

Not to mention that a lot of these accounts haven't been used in 1+year, yet come online to post on the forum about your service. Along with the fact that they were mostly registered around the same time (April/May 2015)

Edit: So he/she dropped me a negative feedback saying I have a "HACKED" account, and then sends me this PM: https://i.imgur.com/AUW7ZVl.png


That PM is fake. Simply HTML browser editing.

Mods can verify if need be. Mods have been notified.

Um, what?

I think https://archive.fo/F270m#selection-2193.0-2212.1 is a photoshopped image. So, you are a real scammer or probable scammer.

Yep. This is the original PM I sent.

As if I would waste my rep for 0.1 BTC

He just changed the text w/ Inspect Element.

Hopefully a mod will step in & verify the PM is fake and ban. This is ridiculous.

Nothing shows guilt than the amount of pushback this guy has displayed.

You can keep quoting the fake PM all you want. It's not hard to change text on a DOM.

So now you're just going to keep copying the post over & over again, I'll leave it as is then. Folks can make their own judgements.

You should really unlock the topic you posted about me.

Why not let other people post?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5137619.0

Jeez, all this because I gave you a negative rep. You sure are professional.

People are checking this thread. I will observe more than I will decide either I will remove my feedback or not. I will not reply to your pm because I am afraid of your message editing by photoshop.

Edited:
@vmrodko you should unlock the topic so that people can check.

If there's any way I could verify the PM is fake, I would. I'd glady let mods verify.

To remove any doubt:

He didn't use photoshop, this is the process he took. Can be done in virtually any browser.

This is also a video of my PM interaction w/ him, I refreshed the page so as to prove I didn't modify anything using the same process (a refresh would remove any changes completed via the previous process)

Also, I don't think there has ever been a time in my messages where I didn't capitalize an I (ref: https://i.imgur.com/1kIyWkZ.png)

I'm confused as to how your second image proves I have a hacked account?

https://prnt.sc/nijndf - this one.

That's literally just a screenshot of some of my posts.

If you're insinuating that because I took a break from using Bitcoin (and as such, took a break from BitcoinTalk), I have already verified this in the past using my Github account. If you actually took a deep dive into my account instead of making bold useless claims, you would know that. I can do it again if need be.

Yea, like I said. I'll let the evidence speak for itself.

You're really grasping at straws here man.

To verify my account isn't hacked (annoying that I should have to do this):

My recent project for BPIP, the chrome extension, was posted on the Github account I had referenced back in 2014.

I didn't know about it, just learned from this video, thanks for the video

I saw the video and it seems you are legit and s/he tried to misguide us.
You are just violating forum rules. You cant post same thing multiple times.

Not a problem! Most people don't know about it, literally anything can be changed. It's how a lot of fake tweets are produced.

A lot of these guys/gals get pretty up in arms whenever someone even remotely questions their account. Tbh, I'm surprised his first goto was modifying PMs when it can be easily validated by a moderator and may result in a ban, but, is what it is.

No worries. I got u fam. (credit to shasan for getting u first)

It would appear he bought a bunch of dirt cheap but aged accounts to vouch for his "services"; I tagged the 3 biggest ones. Wonder how much a newb from 2014 vs a Member from 2018 goes for.

At least next time don't misspell when you faking a screenshot, Looked at Initscri's post history and in 3 pages he never wrote the "i" on lowercase.

Nice to see that a lot of newbie accounts on that thread with probably fake positive reviews are from 2014 2015  ;D, the odds that are casual is quite lol.

Thanks guys for the support! It's pretty obvious at this point that many of the accounts are alts.

2 of his alts (people posting in his thread) sent the same feedback to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=392617 "Excellent developer" - coincidental that they both posted in the same thread + posted in the topic.
