Title: Re: User theyrmos impersonating theymos! Post by: Superhitech on March 01, 2015, 06:20:51 PM Remember to always check the coins under the name, theymos has 5 coins with the last one half red and the rank of Administrator. This newbie has only 1 coin under his name. Stay alert, and you'll be fine.
Banned. Clearly impersonating the admin, even if he wouldn't have sent the PM. That's good. :) Title: Re: User theyrmos impersonating theymos!

There should be some kind of checklist to go through when sending money. Hmm. Now that I think about it, it's best if said checklist is in your head, though.

Post by: mrhelpful on March 02, 2015, 07:00:49 AM Most people will spot the fake if they notice it, esp with the REP or something that stands next to its users title below.
But good shout out though. Title: Re: User theyrmos impersonating theymos! Post by: jc01480 on March 04, 2015, 11:59:34 PM There is another one by the name of Theyymos.
Title: Re: User theyrmos impersonating theymos! Post by: BitcoinFr34k on March 05, 2015, 12:47:38 AM There is another one by the name of Theyymos. This should not be a surprise. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands of people impersonating probably dozens of trusted members on this forum. It is pretty rare that people fall for it, but every now and then they do, and when they do, it is for a lot of money. Just a few weeks ago someone to lose 4.4 BTC (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=955650.msg10484080#msg10484080) to a scammer/impersonator. Title: Re: User theyrmos impersonating theymos! Post by: SaltySpitoon on March 05, 2015, 01:04:40 AM you can report fake Theymos' Staff, etc. They are nuked.

You can (must) also check the forum ID , the real theymos has the ID : 35 . Almost all the users don't check these "small" but important things that can allow you to not be scammed. |
