Title: SKYPE IMPERSONATOR!
Post by: IceTurk on November 20, 2014, 09:54:26 PM
Ok, So I randomly got added by a guy on skype.

He claimed to be Cryptology: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=322154

He wanted to sell me an amazon gift card for BTC. I was about to send the BTC then I had a brainwave, I decided to ask him to PM me for proof it was really him, he said he cant login for some reason. I then checked his skype name and that is what confirmed he is an impersonator trying to scam.

The impersonators Skype name is: crpytology_it (Notice how he has changed a few letters around)

This is the real Cryptology skype: cryptology_it

I busted him:

After that he has blocked and deleted me.

I have resolved his IP from skype.
His IP: 103.15.240.234 (Hopefully staff can match this to an account on here and ban him!)

I am just alerting people to be careful and vigilant when dealing on skype, I being a noob that I am nearly fell for it.
