Yeah, I concur this.  I'm deleting and sometimes banning those posts though, especially if they're reported to me.

Nah, the only active admin here is theymos, and I don't think he will leak the info here.

They are, since a few days ago. Only the admin can issue scammer tags here (otherwise I would've gave him one instead of banning), and he's currently MIA. 

He can log in, but cannot post/PM or anything. The scammer's probably checking to see if that account is active or not, and moving to his next account again. 

Please read carefully what he said.


Seriously, this is the truth. I'm sick and tired of seeing yet another 'zomg Imma got hacked my pants off' thread/PM.

Damn, I'm running out of cold wallet addresses. 
Gonna hop to the safe tomorrow again, so if I delay sending out the escrow contracts don't worry.

The escrow address for flyonwall's Condo project is:

14LLaL23H7mkXBdkwvGghj51VmpdgNKwSd

Please state and agree to the conditions (if item is received damaged, item lost with tracking, customs fee etc) beforehand.

If possible, GPG sign your agreement to prevent any discrepancies later on and please ship with tracking to prevent problems during delivery. GPG signing is not a requirement, and any verbal exchange in the form of private messages or posts on bitcointalk.org, or email is effective as a statement of condition.

The fine print:
This Contract is solely generated for the purpose of facilitating the transaction between the seller and the buyer, which refers to the pseudonyms used on bitcointalk.org.
The escrow holder, John, assumes and gives no liability or guarantees on the satisfaction of all parties involved, although he agrees to mediate and facilitate the deal to the fullest extent he is capable of.  On the event that any problems arises, he will release the escrow to whichever party that presents him with the most convincing proof and/or after an open discussion with others or theymos. 
The verbal acceptance by both parties (or the failure to reject) and the sending of Bitcoins to the escrow address above constitutes the acceptance of the terms and conditions stated, and the activation of this Contract.

Please understand that I am assuming the risk of holding the escrowed Bitcoins, and I am using my own time to facilitate this transaction.   
I am imposing a fixed fee of 1.5% for this transaction, pre-paid or otherwise to 1NB1KFnFqnP3WSDZQrWV3pfmph5fWRyadz .

Thank you.

John (the escrow holder)

For anyone watching this, the scammer sent the fake contract to OP directly like in other scams. Thank god OP was intelligent enough to drop me a PM...

Point 0 is absolutely correct almost 50% of the time.  You'll agree so if you were getting the mountainous scam report PM's like I get daily...

I confirm this is a real escrow and his coins are safe. God, it's been such a busy week for me.(and the scammers)

There is a massive influx of scammers using my escrow contract to fake me sending the escrow out. 
ALWAYS STAY ON ALERT AND VERIFY THE ESCROW COMES FROM ME DIRECTLY.

*knock knock* Friedcat, please respond to the backlog of share transfer requests. 

*runs before angry shareholders burn me on the stake*

I am still waiting for a response from friedcat. 

I banned him. 

THEYMOS!!!!

Did some research and concluded that mrb's numbers are correct there. I only knew that AM was using older tech here. 

You're never supposed to use a single address for all transactions. 

Thanks for the detailed write up on how to sign a message - I was getting the question so many times via PM. I've added the quote to the OP.


Yep, I've been monitoring the thread regularly and can confirm that we're at currently.   I'll add that ticker to the OP too.

Nah, no thanks. I suspect I've seen you here lately a lot. 

[Moderator note: There is an influx of scams lately on the 'mining shares' front. ALWAYS STAY ON ALERT - Example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199071.0]

Seriously, I will be ignoring your PM's if anything goes wrong on this tx.
