Title: Watch out for Private Messages from user 'Bitcoinswaw'!
Post by: Kazimir on November 21, 2013, 10:56:25 AM
Got this private message:

Be careful where you mine and exchange bitcoins for money. Most mining pools are a scam, bitcoin exchanges too(they will hold your money for months), look in the scammers section and see for yourself .org.DO.NOT.CLICK!!!!!/1/Login.htm][PHISHING-LINK-REMOVED].org/index.php?board=83.0 (http://[PHISHING-LINK-REMOVED)
For safety, in the quoted PM above I editted the actual URL that was linked to (added ".DO.NOT.CLICK!!!!!") but it's obviously a honeypot to steal your forum login & password. Do not fall for this shit.

Admins, perhaps you can ban this user + his IP or whatever.

Note that this sucker even managed to misspell the fake link description ("bitconitalk.org" instead of "bitcointalk.org") :D

To Bitcoinswaw: people like you are the cancer of the internet. You stink.

I got same message from user "supernatural".

Obvious phishing is obvious.

I guess someone took some accounts here with same trick and now is using those accounts to spread more.

I laughed when I got the same message.  I have to admit, if I didn't notice the "mispelling", I might have clicked on it. (pun intended)
