Ha ha. Scammers try to get more and more innovative every time.
This reminds me of people typing "Trust:+5" in their personal text and trying to pass of as a trusted member.  :P

I think call the possible keywords starting with theymos-temyos-tHeymos other possible combinations shouldn't be allowed while creating a new account.

Especially when bitcoin value keep increase every day , I think people become more greed for steal bitcoin so they become more active to scam people in various way.

Also beware for any anonymous link from someone unknown and/ someone well known ( if he/she has green trust doesn't mean they can be trust 100% except you can meet them physically !)
