If you are selling any miners it will happen on the forums, there isn't a single sale where this doesn't happen...

Speaking of that... PM me your price for all of them..

Thanks for the "report" I've left him a negative feedback, I hate these various impostors.

 You are welcome.  I have to thank valkir for sending me a copy of the fake pm he got. I never would have known.

I think this actually belongs in scam accusations.

Some people have previously said that a thread is not officially a sales thread unless someone gets a fake payment address, so I guess your thread is now officially a fake sales thread.

Some people also will sometimes post a warning about potential impersonators in their OP and will include their UID# to check against when receiving payment addresses.

Sending PM disabled for new users unless you have reached a few days of activity with a few posts on the board could help to avoid this kind of scam trial

A sort of newbie jail can help to avoid this type of situation, here more info :

I believe we used to have something of a newbie jail in place, at least when I signed up. I remember being stuck to the newbie section for my first few posts, and then being let to post in the rest of the forums after I hit x posts, or x activity. Would be nice to have that back in place as it sounds like they got rid of it.

I also remember the "newbie jail" , when I was registered in this forum I had to wait  ~2 hours and post in a determinate section before be "free" to post in the other forum boards.

 I did post in the original thread.  I wanted to catch attention here. I do agree that technically this thread does not belong here but it is effective to grab attention.
