http://www.bitcointalks.com/ this looks like a massive scam site to me. The same guys that setup mtgix.com ?

Nice of them to include a link to the forums at the bottom of the page.

Shit.  Just noticed this on their "About Us" page.

Quote
Bitcointalks is owned and developed by the same company as Crypto X Change Kenseycol PTY LTD.

They've ripped that off the Mr Bitcoins website.

Time to try to get in touch with Ken and let him know about this, I guess.

They've been spamming this forum and /r/bitcoin, but their spam never lasts very long.

My antivir goes berserk when I even try to visit this page and blocks it entirely.

Definitely a scam / trojan site. Stay off.

Don't know why your antivirus is so paranoid! It is a legitimate scam site!

Folks when dealing with bitcoins check the reputation and do your research before making any deals! People with IQ<100 will be goatsed!

I would like this info to be removed as I did not permit you to publish it on a public forum.

You never agreed to my terms, that means we have no agreement about anything including privacy. Maybe next time you sign up for my website you will finish the sign up so you will be given all the rights of a normal member. But people who cookie cutter my business format to the T, will not yielded to in any sort of way.


Thanks

Slandering?  Legitimate?  Two weeks ago you were claiming to be operated by KenseyCol - a blatant and demonstrable lie.  Care to explain that?

Can you link this? I would like to read up more on this,  ;)

Go figure, lol

Edit I capped it just for reference, still think he should explain or maybe someone should ask him on his page?

Our About Us page has never had any content on it. I still have yet to fill this section of our site out. I too would like to know where you saw this "operated by KenseyCol".

There is confusion here between bitcointalks.com and btcquick.com. The two sites are (I think) operated by different people. bitcointalks.com is clearly a scam. I don't know anything about btcquick.com.

From my investigations, the bitcointalks.com (and mtgix.com etc etc) are probably based in China, and the operators are university students there. Guess that explains why they have so much time to do these scams.  :-\
