hello OP, can i know why he pm'ed you and ask why you interested with his account? when i see his chat history, i'm not find anything if he's selling his account. It's a bit weird why he pm to newbie and telling you about his account. Did you pm him first for buying his account?

The OP did make a post indicating he wanted to buy an account:

Wait.Can you please upload the screen shots for the same ? That's a quite active and a legendary account,chances of it being hacked (according to leaked hashes hacks ) are low.Which account was being sold ? Do you mind linking us to that account ?
P.S.: You're buying accounts,that behavior is not encouraged around the forum.Don't be surprised if you're actually scammed next time.

I don't want to believe in you,I want to see the proofs that whatever you say is actually the truth.You'r a newbie account ,the person you have accused is legendary,maybe he is a scammer but unless you provide solid evidence there is not much people/DT members can do here as it makes the accusation quite baseless.I'd request you to lock the thread if you aren't planning to provide substantial proofs in the future.

Go on being the asshole then. Get going, remember you don't any time for this.

On a serious note, I've sent the accused a PM(as any sensible person should have) . If he refuses to reason , I'll place a warning neg on the account

Why send PM with proposals of selling your own account to random individuals then?
OK then sign a old unedited message from 3 months+
And that I agree on. Signed message from an altcoin address(since it seems you're more so heavily invested in them) will work as well

Edit: However, considering no changes in posting styles can be observed, I believe further evidence needs to be posted before tagging him.

Edit 2: At any rate, I'll be tagging the account as being sold so as to avoid further scam attempts or such by the new owner.

I can show the skype quote where he said he agree on .1 BTC, the strange part is he said : what is .1 ?

I said around 60$ and he said ok he agree

Ive already messaged theymos with my actual email to get the ball rolling, but i want to get visibility on this issue.

please dont buy anything from my account (or the account itself) until this is resolved. Also, please dont leave additional negative trust feedback. some is already left and should discourage account buyers. i dont want anymore negative feedback left because itll just be a massive PITA to get undone once i regain account access and go back to my normal posting routine about mining and PCIe cable sales.

I mean unless they provide actual staked address they been using only for that account the longer the better.

To actually sign a message for it - then that basically avoids the hassle to see what you saw.

And if the message can be verified by you checking it..

Blockchain.info wallet. Coinig didn't pass for me either. Perhaps characters like "/" are messing it up.


Title: Re: Caution : Possible scam attemp!!!!
Post by: klondike_bar_recovery on July 27, 2016, 06:10:23 AM
it was signed with the bitcoin wallet, if that helps. not sure why it may verify only with some methods and not others (perhaps spacing or the "/" or "<" symbols causing it problems?)

doing a bit of research, it looks like this may lead back to the BTCT hack last year - sould i assume my email/password combo are known to whoever took my account? why now?

edit: i used the "bitcointalk account appraisal" site about 2 weeks ago out of sheer curiosity since theres always accounts for sale/auction that are far less spectacular than mine. But i really have no intention of selling it, as it is my main avenue for cable sales. perhaps there is some link between using that site and somehow identifying myself as an account worth hacking?

^when you suddenly can't login ;)

Thanks Finksy for support, I'm still planning to sign a message but am migrating computers lately so wallet.dat files are unsynced and don't play nice with mycelium.

BTW: any suggestions for a good client that ideally doesn't need to download/store the full chain as a prerequisite to sending transactions? I wa using an ancient version of bitcoin core (don't fix what ain't broke logic) but a new computer means a new client installation.

Tldr; signed message hopefully over the weekend. Until then, feel free to maintain your scrutiny as I'm no different from an Australian douchebag pretending to be satoshi  :P
