There are lot of email addresses to which they were send to along with mine. Main purpose is to alert everyone that there is someone attempting to asking for donation in bitcointalk's name.

[What happened:]

What happened:  Today I requested additional loan in shasan's thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030169.msg62169183#msg62169183. After some discussions privately with shasan it was approved by him and he sent the coins. As soon as it arrived the hacker moved it from my wallet address: bc1qwerty0uuuee9t3jf5tvr0952a099p67qama7k3 (only one in the wallet). I am not sure how he got control of my Electrum wallet  (despite Malwarebytes on my laptop) but as soon as it happened I reset password of forum and other sites via my mobile and did fresh install of Windows.

Scammers Wallet Address: bc1qzzvml53wkc5g4w5tuk6xz0t0j332rfgftymf2f

Amount Scammed: 0.015 BTC


In seclog both the recent password changes were done by me and to confirm that I am the real Avirunes here is the signed message from my oldest address which I have kept safe on my blockchain.info:

Address:

Code:

1oooTXKUgGbLhVTG4zZ4FJi71Xzk6vijL

Message:

Code:

This is Avirunes and I confirm bc1qwerty0uuuee9t3jf5tvr0952a099p67qama7k3 has been compromised.

Signature:

Code:

G9NT2IalfZX4tApHIlpKvXnpV0nzKk+yHFdY9adx6naZc0mjxdxkq9BnGLjLVSUNxxZG8sNHbC+3pqB152JwHH4=

Even after the signed message, I think shasan can verify that I am real Avirunes here as we were always in touch through telegram.


I am clueless as to how this could have happened as like I said I had Malwarebytes on my laptop but despite that this incident happened.I know how dumb and idiot I look right now but I still can't wrap my head around how this could have happened.

I've been in the community for more than 4 years and in all these years I have established myself as a reputed member inside the community.
 During all these years I have contributed inside bitcointalk by busting scammers, busting alts and cheaters and managing signature and bounty
campaigns and as an escrow. After the break in between, I am delighted to announce that today I am reopening my campaign management
and escrow service again to to help community engage myself into promoting legitimate projects and to help projects reaching out their
 word inside the community.

My experience as a campaign manager: I have previously managed a lot of campaigns in 2016-2018 and helped
out lot of projects to spread word about their projects and idea with our promotional strategy in that time. During that course
of 1-2 years, I have have developed a good portfolio with reputed projects by managing or co-managing their bounty
campaigns and signature campaigns, developing ANN threads.

"Quality is pride of workmanship"
- W. Edwards Deming

With that in mind, I have delivered a good no. of successful projects as a campaign manager with my strategy and experience.

Here is the list of campaigns (Past/Active) that I have helped/currently helping with my experience as a campaign manager:

(There are some more projects to be added as I am taking consent of others who managed this with me before putting up on my list of campaigns)

(Free right now!!)

Interested or want to have a talk on proper promotional strategy?
Feel free to contact me on Telegram or just send me a message on BTCitcointalk.

[(A) Always check that you are dealing with the Telegram ID provided to you by the dealer.]

A month ago I was scammed by imposter of shdvb in telegram. He didn't got from me much but I got a lesson learned that day. We all love to trade or finish a deal quickly and to do that we need a quick communication so we always move over to some chatting or messaging apps instead of continuing the conversation in forum's message system. But there are lot of imposters of regular dealers whether it be a regular currency exchanger or someone regular in providing service or goods. Now question comes how do we know its an imposter?


(A) Always check that you are dealing with the Telegram ID provided to you by the dealer.

Say I am trying to deal with shdvb. Real telegram ID of shdvb is: @mingxingxu and while searching in Telegram I get a lot of results here as shown in screenshot below:



(First^[1]), you should know how the telegram displays an account. There are two things: Telegram Username (i.e Display name) and Telegram UID. Now here comes the important part: Anyone can have same display name but Telegram UID is unique and hence if someone is already with Telegram UID @abc123 then no one can make another account with that UID again. So always remember that Telegram UID is something that you should be looking out for and check before dealing.

Here is how it is displayed:



As in search results you can see that there are lot of results like someone has set "@mingxingxu" in Telegram Display name but its UID is "@mingxingxux" and similarly there are other results with "@mingxingxu" as Telegram Display name but UID different than "@mingxingxu" . These are all traps waiting for someone to get fooled thinking that "@mingxingxu" which is being shown as Telegram Display name is actually the UID and the actual dealer while their actual UID is different (some having prefix or suffix or change in some characters).

So (Second^[2]), focus only on checking UID that matches the actual UID provided i.e  in this case is "@mingxingxu". After checking in this manner, I got the account I was looking for which is the real telegram account which has "@mingxingxu" as the Telegram UID as shown in screenshot below.




Now I have told you about only the first kind of traps.


(B) Traps with fake ID coated inside a hyperlink with actual ID as text.


This was the trap where I slipped.



Above is the screenshots of result again. All the results are actually channels except for the actual real TG account of shdvb as shown previously. Now if you get into one of these channels you will find a post already like in screenshot below.

I am glad to greet you, dear friends.
To exchange cryptocurrency, write to my account in a telegram:

@mingxingxu
Link: https://t.me/mingxingxu

We always have the best rate, more advantageous conditions and instant payments.

This is the post as in that telegram channel and it may seem like they have provided the actual user ID and the direct link but its is actually hyperlinked with another fake telegram account in that Telegram channel. In here when I clicked I was directed to the Telegram account with UID: "@mignxingxu" which is different from actual Telegram ID of shdvb "@mingxingxu"




How to avoid falling for it ?

Whenever you start conversation with a telegram UID always check his UID by clicking his display name and verify if you are going to start conversation with the real dealer.


For now that's it. I will be looking out for traps and will post if new type of traps surface in Telegram.

I would suggest currency exchangers or regular service and good providers who are regular in telegram and have provided the ID publicly to add this thread to their main post and warn about it so that they can stay safe and won't fall for traps dealing with imposters on telegram.

Feel free to add anything which you think I am missing or if I have made some mistakes in this post.

[1] User sends merit to his own alt (Not a reason to tag but that is not a way to use it).




[2] Sending positive feedback to his own alt.




I've tagged both accounts and have excluded deception1359 from my trust list. deception1359 is trusted by Hellmouth42

Hello,

I need a loan of 0.024 BTC as stated in the main heading. Reason for asking for loan is that I have funds in some site which manually processes withdrawal after 6:00/7:00 UTC and I need some funds urgently within 1-2 hour.

I am facing some problem with wallet which has my old address 1oooTX in it so I will be unable to sign message from that but I do have some escrow addresses with me from which I can sign upon request.


~Avirunes

EDIT: Repayment amount: 0.025 BTC
Repayment Date: Will repay most likely today or by tomorrow.

1A3oTB6fV4WpVz6hR2m7NogX2Hsjq18nxr sends 0.25 BTC to 1AcquN6CvGP4hxb5pKtYG8K7wdiLbSdxBg (Bittrex address) and remaining change to 1PPGsDnHWprZXBpsYq7yAv5oaL7DtNePWD on 2018-08-21 [TXID].

Next day 1PPGsDnHWprZXBpsYq7yAv5oaL7DtNePWD sends 0.49 BTC to 1AcquN6CvGP4hxb5pKtYG8K7wdiLbSdxBg (Bittrex address) and remaining to change address [TXID]. I believe that the Bittrex address is personal deposit address of his account and 1A3oTB.. and 1PPGsD were part of same wallet.


Checking the deposits i.e incoming transactions to  1AcquN6CvGP4hxb5pKtYG8K7wdiLbSdxBg(Bittrex address), I found many frequent deposits being made from same wallet.


For instance, some transactions made from Wallet [02987ecd8a]  to 1AcquN6CvGP4hxb5pKtYG8K7wdiLbSdxBg

AleCrypt0 was developer of BTC Ultra (SCAM): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326817.0 and had another scam accusation here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1361705.0


My report is based on assumption that there is no option for a user to ask for a new deposit address in Bittrex.


Also considering the post gap from 2016 to 2018 and the fact that user used to post in Russian sections only but have discontinued posting on in those sections after the gap, it is likely that the account is hacked/bought in-between.
