Title: Similar Usernames Attempting To Scam - Defaults Please Tag Post by: Tigggger on August 08, 2015, 07:06:10 PM Not a request to do something about it at an admin level, I appreciate it's a losing battle, more an idea for a helpful thread to report them so people on default trust can watch the thread and tag them.
If they post in a thread then the option is there to report to a moderator which I would do, same with PM's but often I see a post where a user says they have received one, they may or may not have reported it so as a just in case. I could leave trust but given the forums default being to hide untrusted feedback there's not much point.

The number of these accounts is annoyingly large. Watching this thread and subscribing to email notifications. Probably all by the same person.

Ive done many trades, selling equipment, also buying, many times with no escrow-- based on my Trust score. So was really surprised when the buyer/user said that they were contacted by the imposter account - looking to "close the deal". Glad no one ended up falling for it- and from now on will add a disclaimer regarding this, to make sure buyers are making sure all PMs are from my account and not someone else. Usernames with Os and 0s Is and ls are especially at risk. Thanks again!

An escrow trade would be much harder to fake, it involves fooling at least two parties. Fake Bitmain account can just post a Bitcoin address or post a link to a fake site and hope to catch someone.

They usually try impersonate people who are trying to sell something by PMing people who have shown interest or bidded on something.

When people click on his nick they will notice the post number is below the one from a real legendary ranked member. And it would be for sure be a nice idea if this topic could be pinned or maybe be included in the red warning message that is send by default in newbie accou nt messages, maybe it will help to stop it or at least to make thw users to check this topic!
