I wonder how many people still fall for those types of scams nowadays? Without a doubt it must be bringing in some sort of income for them otherwise they would have disappeared. The medium changed from emails to instant messenger and scammers still attempt it trying to stay one step ahead of the curve.

Using a photo of a beautiful girl and starting small talk is an old motif that is commonly known by many. Scammers don't start the conversation to the point, they will make the atmosphere more fluid and when he believes you are starting to get trapped he will direct you to things that drain the contents of the wallet.
Lucky you quickly realize it, he started to leave before the main mission launched. If you have never shared your telegram with anyone you don't know, be aware they may be part of some bad people who are looking for victims.

Thank the members of this forum who constantly warn others from getting scammed by this so call 1xbit who have done more harm than good in the gambling industry.
Thankfully there are many members that constantly post in the scam accusation board and in other threads to warn others about the dangers of engaging with some websites and companies out there.

If the clients they got came exclusively from outside the forum then it would make sense for them to stop advertising here as they seem to obtain no obvious benefit with their signature campaign and ANN thread.

But since this is not what we observe then another explanation needs to be given, and as nonsensical as this may seem it is possible they still get enough clients through the forum to justify their permanency here.
Maybe they feel they are getting some sort of publicity either way and are not concerned because they will never be able to repair the damage. Their constant attempts at trying to run signature campaigns in somewhat strange in my opinion.

So on that note, I will like to advise that whoever wishes to gamble on any new casino should endeavour to do extensive research before depositing a penny.
That is the best advice for all. What we all should do is to carry out our own due-diligence before we send funds to any website.

RESULT: West Ham United 2-2 Arsenal

At one stage the game was in favour or Arsenal as they were winning 0-2 after just 10 minutes but one goal each side of half-time made it 2-2. Well done to West Ham for fighting back get a draw and a vital point for them but Arsenal also receive a point when they were on course to get 3 points. When the score was 1-2 Saka missed a penalty for Arsenal which would have made the score 1-3.

Arsenal have now played one game more than Manchester City and are four points ahead at the top of the league table. If Manchester City win that game in hand they will be just one point behind Arsenal.

There is one game remaining today: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United

There are very determined individuals and groups that are using all sorts of apps as well as social media to try to have people (victims) send money to them.

I lost count of the number of times myself and people I know were contacted by strangers saying they were multimillionaires in waiting who needed $10,000 or $5,000 to pay for legal fees in order to claim their inheritance and they said they would return the amount with a bonus.

Your advice about accidentally disclosing private information is something that is a real possibility therefore engaging with determined scammers is probably not recommended even if you are confident like Igebotz mentioned here.

Even here, I would be too pessimistic. You can call me a sociopath, but the people on the internet are not the people we meet offline. It all depends on the size of the victim. Scammers can seem like decent people for a very long time, and you can even do some business with them, but one day, something unforeseen will happen when a decent person turns into a very professional scammer.
Therefore, all other people's letters and other people's proposals that come from strangers must either be filtered with a magnifying glass or completely ignored.
I would even go so far as to say that chatting via telegram and accidentally clicking on links can lead to the full disclosure of your identity, and further problems can be expected as a result.

If your latest DDoS protection is holding up and providing adequate protection from any possible attack without using any 3rd party software then that is good. When I last visited the clearnet website earlier today to see if the page loads, it took a long time before the 5 second DDoS countdown loaded and after that it took well over a minute for the page to load before I gave up.

Eventually this message showed. Is it because the website is really under maintenance or because that is the new default message when the website is under DDoS:




Is it possible that is simply comes down to one competitor trying to cause disruption to another? Even though that would seem the most ridiculous of explanations could that actually be the most plausible?
I wouldn't point fingers at anyone including our competitors, even if that's the case it's still irelevant to us. We have the knowledge to deal with it without using 3rd parties and it seems that for now our DDoS protection works very well. After the latest updates we didn't experience any more downtime.

No need to delete your topic in my opinion. I agree to JollyGood here, that new topics about achievements should be eligible to create. If there's no obvious intention of aggressive Merit fishing because OP can't get Merit by normal posts (which is clearly not the case for mikeywith), new achievements topics should be eligible.  Smiley
You are right 1miau. Anyway, that dedicated thread was created not that long ago under the guise of reducing spam and/or reducing announcements that we remade in the hope of receiving merits but personally I would not bother posting in it if I wanted to announce anything and many others have continued to ignore it by posting their announcements in their own newly created threads.

The situation changes of-course if the forum admins create a dedicated thread for members to make their personal announcements.If they did then it is fine we all should post our milestones and rank-up and other announcements in that admin created dedicated thread but since that did not happen there is definitely no obligation for members to post in any thread that any member creates and states it is for this reason or it is for that reason.

Just to remind you that I never spoke of an obligation, I think it is not necessary to quote myself, you can see my post above
I did not quote you, there is a misunderstanding. I merely advised the OP there was no obligation to post in any dedicated thread (because it was not set up by admins as a rule) and that he was more than welcome to post about what he wanted. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm the type of guy who talks to them until they run out of words, then tells them to fck off and blocks them.
If you have some time on your hands it probably would have been a good way to spend a few hours chatting away until either you or the scammer (who is pretending to be a woman) gets bored  Grin
 
1868  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: @RogerVer lets make a deal. At least 60k, my BTU for your BTC. on: April 15, 2023, 01:02:04 PM
I think you have it backwards: the deal was loaded's BCH for Ver's BTC. Interestingly, loaded sold all his BCH fork proceeds for BTC. As @Rampion hinted, loaded probably got spooked when he saw that Reddit was investigating the source of his funds.
Yes, sorry, I made an error when writing. The proposed deal was for the BCH the OP held to trade with the BTC that Ver held. Thank you for correcting me.

Loaded still never replied to me at all despite my contacting him numerous times.  That shows his intentions were dishonest from day one.
Well now we know this probably wasn't the case.
I remember posting in the thread a short while after the deal was proposed by the OP. Time really gone by fast.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/60ozkh/rogerver_lets_make_a_deal_1_for_1_trade_at_least/

bitcoin-cli signmessage 19Mz2o9RDABT74SA9njZqMtJXKEzj2qUoH '@RogerVer lets make a deal, 1 for 1 trade. At least 60k, possibly up to 130k, my BTU for your BTC.'
H9ed6z5RgdThRxXXqePmtJbaK1pGvoy6e+aiwUPD6pkrJ6d6TBchOu5OQLEbgq/15YRjcOUC+kMrGVfszUXV5Wc=


So Ver OBVIOUSLY declined !!

Talk about Ver believing in Bitcoin Cash so much so that he cannot even get himself to sell ALL his Bitcoins now, or to have exchanged them when the fork was made.

Why make the fork and bad mouth Bitcoin so much when he cannot part with it?

 Grin

Wow so it seems Loaded made the thread and then got Ver interested but then when Ver came back to conclude the deal it was Loaded who pulled out and refused to answer Ver?

We don't know who backed out. Roger said that Loaded backed out, but Roger says a lot of things. He says that Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin for instance which is clearly not true.

It would have been a highly complex exchange because who would escrow or ensure the coins were traded? I think it was something that would not have taken place even if both parties wanted because it would probably be impossible to arrange. It would have been the largest ever crypto escrow based on trust between the senders and escrow. For example, who would send first? Who would be trusted to work as escrow?

What would have happened to Ver if he had managed to swap his BCH for BTC the OP was asking to trade? At worst would it simply be a case of handing over the BTC to lawful enforcement agencies and then receive his BCH back or would it be something else? After all, if the exchange went ahead as far as Ver would have been concerned he was making a 1:1 BCH/BTC trade.

Bumping this thread now that loaded is set to be sentenced tomorrow (see: https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin-blockchain-hacking-arrests-93a4cb29)

Roger was lucky Zhong didn't follow up (he probably got scared because of this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6bcccp/loadeds_coins_trace_back_to/) - otherwise he would have ended up double rekt.

When you look at the feedback that has been accumulated by the 1xbit/1xbit1 scammers it makes you wonder why they continue to use this forum especially as their reputation has been torn to shreds:


One benefit for potential victims by finding this forum is that they have been warned. Others unfortunately find this forum to complain about the 1xbit/1xbit1 websites after they have had their funds seized.

There is no obligation to post in any dedicated thread to announce anything. Nowadays when a thread of this sort appears someone will comment about posting in the dedicated threads but I see no real reason to oblige. Some have flooded in the hope of receiving merits (which clearly is not the case here).

We have not interacted much previously but I have seen some of your posts. I wish you success and prosperity in your next 5 years and beyond  Smiley

There is a thread dedicated  ".

Oh snap, I did not see that, I will try to delete this thread and post in the thread you linked. Thanks

Well, maybe search engines have still indexed it but it seems the website is no longer functioning: https://coinpaycard.net

I feel sorry for the victims. I do not know how much the scammer managed to get away with but as the website was only around for a short period of time hopefully the number of victims and their losses will be minimal.

Yeah well you see, Google goes to bed with governments. They don't care about what plebs like us have to report, as long as they won't get in legal trouble for not taking any action.

there have been a few newspapers that have disclosed the news, but mostly they have been sites and provincial newspapers, I must say that even some excellent newspapers have talked about it such as "ilsole24ore" or even "il Corriere della Sera". but despite this he hasn't made all this media noise
It is good this news went to those publications you mentioned but it is strange it not receive more attention.

This sort of news should have been much larger and on mainstream media because losing €15-20 million in any business is news. It could be that because many people still do not understand crypto that it did not make big headlines.

I read the transcripts that Lillominato published and there are some really scandalous things, people were selling crypto to cover the holes and pay the EURO cashouts.
Crazy, really embarrassing management.
After the investigations are completed there could be criminal charges. The money lost has been a disaster and setback for investors. I feel sorry for them.

RESULTS:

Feyenoord 1-0 Roma
Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Union Saint-Gilloise
Juventus 1-0 Sporting Lisbon
Manchester United 2-2 Sevilla


Which teams will qualify for the semi-finals? It is too difficult to tell because even Roma and Sporting Lisbon can win their home games by more than a goal and qualify. Sevilla have two away goals and that will help them when they play Manchester United in Spain.
1876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2022/2023 on: April 15, 2023, 11:22:12 AM
These are the games taking place today:

Aston Villa vs Newcastle United
Chelsea vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Everton vs Fulham
Southampton vs Crystal Palace
Tottenham Hotspur vs Bournemouth
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford
Manchester City vs Leicester City


If Manchester City beat Leicester City they will be just 3 points behind leaders Arsenal and put pressure on them when they travel to West Ham tomorrow. Newcastle United can increase the pressure on Manchester United if they manage a win at Aston Villa and cement their 3rd place position in the table.

Manchester City 3-0 Bayern Munich


Wednesday 12th April 2023
AC Milan 1-0 Napoli
Real Madrid 2-0 Chelsea


Chelsea need a miracle if they are to reach the semi-finals because Real Madrid must be favourites to win the tournament again. Elsewhere, Manchester City had a comfortable win over Bayern Munich and look set to reach another semi-final. Inter Milan look set to reach the semi-final and the all Italian champions league final is still a possibility.
1880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ FOOTBALL: EFL Carabao Cup 2022/23 Season (English Football League) on: April 15, 2023, 11:02:49 AM
Throughout the season Manchester United have not been good enough to finish in the top two places in the Premier League because Arsenal and Manchester City deserve to be fighting for the top two positions but Newcastle United, Manchester United and Tottenham do deserve to be fighting for a top 4 finish and with that champions league qualification.

Ten Hag has done well by winning the Carabao Cup but they have to focus on the Europa League and FA Cup. If they win three trophies in his first season and finish 3rd in the Premier League that will be a success considering their fall from grace after Ferguson retired.

There is still a lot of room for development in that team and a lot of positions that needs to be filled by the right players, but from what Ten Hag has done so far, we can say that he might be the coach to return Manchester United to her glory days.
