Title: Stupid scam attempts. Post by: bitkilo on March 25, 2016, 10:20:20 AM With so many scams going on here you come across some that just make you laugh.
Some scams have been well thought out and hard to detect but others just leave you wondering how the hell did they really think people would fall for it. Post links to the dumbest scam attempts you see and we can all have a good laugh at them. Here's one I found was pretty dumb: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1407514.msg14276974#msg14276974 Title: Re: Stupid scam attempts.

There's this one, but I'm sure you've already seen it. I've also seen someone successfully scam 20 cents in the lending section, and I think the lender sent the scammer the money out of pity. This was about a year ago. Title: Re: Stupid scam attempts. Post by: resources on March 25, 2016, 12:03:07 PM i think there should be a special topic for this guy that want to scam but fail on first time, like a warning !

Thanks for posting. Title: Re: Stupid scam attempts. Post by: bitkilo on March 26, 2016, 12:12:07 AM I'm surprised nobody has posted about all of the "pro lender" stuff that went on last year, I'll try and find it now. There was also a guy that made a couple of alt accounts with a very similar username to mine claiming to me. I could have sworn he was trying to make a joke, but it was pretty funny if it wasn't. If you had of read the replies before posting you would have seen that Encrypted has already pointed him out.Edit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1147309.0 Sig spamming maybe?

Could never tell what his deal was. Then there was that thread where the guy wanted bitcoin for one of his testicles. And the whole KLYEMAX disgrace and shaming. I apologize I don't have links.
