Title: If someone sends me a scammy PM, should I report it or no? Post by: beetcoin on August 20, 2014, 01:44:28 AM I'm not sure if I'm supposed to report to an admin.. seems like scams are kind of treated as laisez faire here, but maybe i'm wrong?
hi_i_am_a_nerd already has a bad reputation, and he's sending me a link to some website that appears to be a wallet phisher. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=210340 here is the original message: Quote Hi.. we are looking for knowledgable user and developer feedback for our site/wallet. skype contact is: emabujnova reward: 50$ IN BTC for you. bitsolution.org Title: Re: If someone sends me a scammy PM, should I report it or no?

Unsolicited pm's advertising services are also considered spam, scam or not. If you aren't sure then report it, there's no downside.

That guy has been spamming PMs to many people. Had a few complaints about him already so I'm sure he will be banned if he hasn't already.
