Good article & advice .... you might want to add that there are many hacked and bought/sold accounts around here of all ranks and that often checking when last posts were made (is there suddenly a 1-2 year gap) and if previous posts have no relation to what the guy selling and doing now could be a red flag. Also looking at previous feedback tells a lot and seeing where it comes from. 

Seems to be a few unsubstantiated scam complaints about these guys but from their posting habits (spamming multiple accounts and dozens and dozens of fake 1 post newbie vouches) it seems likely.  There are no rules broken (as far as I know) because there are no rules against multiple accounts but I just find it quite weird. There is a group of 6 or 7 accounts in Digital Goods and sub-section Accounts & Invites that have 60-70+- posts and are selling very similar things.  And of those 60-70+- posts maybe half of them are from the OP and 95% of the rest are first time 1 post newbies writing loving and beautiful prose extolling how wonderful the OP is.   I know at least 2 of them are alts of each other because 99% of the time they are logged in at the same moment and the rest ... who knows.  Never checked time stamps.

These 2 are the longest and 99.00% of the time logged in together. Reading the threads and beautiful vouch post prose are quite entertaining:

arikochipin  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5220899.0 (he's the most entertaining)
Danny Lance   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230825.0

There are a couple cross-posted vouches.  These guys must spend hours creating newbie accounts.

Google Ads https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234139.0 (obvious alt of arikochipin since he replied in this topic from wrong account and email is the same)  https://archive.vn/OC5C8
Litvak500 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5250792.0 (virtually identical text in OP as Google Ads aka arikochipin)  https://archive.vn/TUMOs

There's a bunch of others all similar topics just like those except they often delete their last couple posts so their threads fall way back  then they suddenly add a new post and back they are. These couple are still on top.


Actually there are 5 (or more) of them:



Here is "the spam & scam crew" (probably a few more I missed   ):

oooops, you forgot to log out of your other account!  LOL

Smells like Anonym1337x.  Never gives up.  Keeps on tryin'

  OOOOPS, you forgot to log out of your fake alt account.   LOL    https://archive.vn/xUpPV  

 This guy (getgudkid) is a scammer.  Don't send him a penny.  

New scammer linking to FASTKEY.IO scam site:  https://archive.vn/xQfXE

Wonder how many more there are hiding behind link shorteners.  Usually the "key" is the locked brand newbie post.  

This one is nuked.

LOL, definitely is a SCAM.  

These coupons he sells stopped working over 4 months ago. His other account (same Shoppy, same Discord) is "Shoppyseller" (even gave himself fake positive feedback here). This is the other account: https://archive.vn/ZTd63 https://archive.vn/O1o78

No more free bumps.  

What a lying piece of trash.  You copied his thread word for word (called plagiarism) and was, and actually still are advertising & SELLING it for $70 even using the "vouches" he got but if you click on those vouches you posted it takes you back to the original SOHA thread.   Your thread: https://archive.vn/CK03G and thread you plagiarized https://archive.vn/cpwa5

No more free bumps.  

------------------------------------------------

OBVIOUS VERY SOGGY LIAR, definite SCAMMER.

See this thread:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5264096.msg54855807#msg54855807

Yea, I'm sure. Such a nice little newbie scammer.  You're busy as a bumble bee in a field of soggy rotting lettuce today.

Nope.  Thread plagiarizer and probable scammer.  See post #4 in this thread https://archive.vn/CK03G
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5264096.msg54855807#msg54855807

Then you should have given it away for free otherwise how are you making a "good deed" selling someone else's work?  That's plagiarism and should get you banned. But you did buy/sell accounts so that makes you a very upstanding citizen. Of course SOHA is connected to a whole bunch of scammers, you're right there.  One of them was some scum who likes warm lettuce.  Amazing how lettuce always seems to be rotting at the same time a number of other scammers are.  Just coincidence I'm sure.  

Here is the original thread this was plagiarized from that this dummy linked to by even using the original "vouches" in that post.  https://archive.vn/cpwa5    and the original 2yr old thread.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093954.msg49151546#msg49151546

Eventually you'll run out of accounts.

P.S.   SCAMMER

Right Joshie.  Hey Bro' you're gonna have to use up a few more of your "stock" accounts.  It looks pretty dumb using the same ones over and over for sock puppets.

Also an alt of numerous scammers including (Banned) Joshua Germanski, (banned) Panamor, (Banned) Soha MM, (Banned) Mavrick21 and about 30 other banned accounts.

Also an alt of "currently playing" idiot getgudkid :  https://archive.vn/Wpvll as can be seen by the same fake trust left as all of the above at the exact same time.








Buy from the OP of this thread and you may as well flush your money down the toilet. See big red forum warning on top of this page.

Since this is the same guy who scammed me back in March under Anonym1337x   https://archive.fo/6UqmE and is now back as HotelSS   https://archive.vn/hZoFh I red flagged him.
