Title: Possible Scam alert, proofs inside Post by: Neotox on February 10, 2015, 08:51:12 AM hello
i m creating this thread because i think that the user cxboyminer is selling his account after a recent scam of 150$(may be many others that are not reported) Scam thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=923959.0 Account sales thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=949287.msg10394486#msg10394486 that account(cxboyminer - UID : 148493) is up for sale by user "Guidedog" if you check all his given specs for the account he is selling it confirmed that its cxboyminer account a user requested him to verify and sign a message from his address "1CXBoyEH8C8iLnprD5YJ92kacTWDrEmSTy" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291387.msg7919309#msg7919309 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637095.msg7105808#msg7105808 which he was using since a long time and he did verified this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=949287.msg10397380#msg10397380 and at the same the user "Guidedog" posted a message that he sold his account back in 28 Nov 2014 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=949287.msg10397335#msg10397335 then how he signed the message from the wallet address that was used june and july when the account was sold i don't think people buy the bitcoin address when they buy the account, and use it for transaction, because there are risk of losing money by the previous owner of of the account and address but still he is using the same address after 28 nov 2014 that OP said when it was sold https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=917319.msg10100639#msg10100639 so there are high chances that the real owner of the account is still same and account was never sold or hacked and now he is trying to sell his account to get as many money as he can out from this account i request moderator and default trust list members to check this account and after confirmation leave him red trust so that he can't scam more peoples after this Regards Neotox Title: Re: Possible Scam alert, proofs inside Post by: Quickseller on February 10, 2015, 09:21:43 AM The account was most likely not sold. It would be possible that he included he private key with the sale, but considering the fact that the description of the account matches almost perfectly (previously had positive/green trust, had some negative trust, post/activity count) I would say they are likely one and the same.
