That's not true since MOST of the scam sales are done off-site via Telegram, Selly and all the rest.  These folks have no reason to create an account UNTIL THEY GET SCAMMED.

Look at this OP:  "text me"  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5131277.0
Or this: "go to my scam website"  : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5133271.0
or this "go to my selly site" : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5129582.0
or "shoppy" site"  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5118213.0
or "telegram"  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5112116.0

ALL require no need to sign up and be able to see any "trust"   and there are hundreds like it just over the last 3 or 4 days.  This place is known to allow (NOT moderate) scammers and it draws them like flies to shit.  While seeing rep isn't the full answer it certainly will help a little especially for thos who find these scammers via Google.

Adding multiple new child boards would only move the spammers and scammers into even more sections that the mods have to deal with to move all the crap back and forth.  Most of them don't care where they post or how many times they make the same post.  Making a RANK requirement of anything below senior member to post anything would only lead to even more bought and sold accounts. I agree with you that probably 90% of the threads are scams and/or illegally obtained cards. 

IMO the only  things that would partially mitigate the problem is to show full trust ranking to everyone most importantly those not logged in and allowing only SENIOR and above members to create locked and/or self-moderated threads.  Yes, it will lead to some more buying and selling of accounts and probably lots of shitposts to increase rank but would substantially decrease the volume of junk from users who create a new alt or 3 every day (or hour) to post their scam threads.

In theory making more sub-sections is a good idea but will put way more pressure on the mods to constantly shuffle things around and sometimes make very subjective decisions.

Yea, no doubt he is a scammer and hardly any doubt he is indeed YoutubeTV but not provable IMO where he could be banned for ban evasion.  However as I am sure you know, sadly no one here on BCT gets banned for scamming.  Maybe for too many post bumps by sock puppets but unfortunately not for scamming.  If they did probably 3/4 of the sellers in Digital Goods and Accounts/Invites would be gone. LOL

Well, if this clown actually DID use @Cryptogift he would already be a banned user (YoutubeTV and about 40 other alts) and would be banned yet again for ban evasion.  Unfortunately your screen print doesn't provide 100% proof for him to be reported.  That being said I believe you.  He's probably got 10 others going as well.  A scammer for sure but whether he is this cockroach can't say.

Little doubt he is a scammer but His posts say his telegram is:


What makes you say it's @cryptogift?

There isn't if you just delete a trust comment and re-enter it corrected/edited either which you can do, so why not just allow an edit?  Either way there is no "paper trail."

It's sandy-is-fine  (You need the dashes and no "s" at the end).

Sorry that the previous clown is spamming this thread.  The 2 archives are all I need to say. Hopefully this alt will be gone like the other 5 or 6 and no doubt a new one will suddenly appear tomorrow and more crap from he/she will follow.

Can I also get POSITIVE FEEDBACK from SCAMMERS removed from my untrusted feedback like the 2 below.      



Every red I have gotten, (if you simply look at the user's trust) I have no issue with as it is quite self-explanatory but the last 2 positives from the above 2 scammers gave me a chuckle.  There is a move at play here, just waiting for it to start.

Same fake bump vouches as in this thread:  http://archive.fo/xjTQ2    Highly likely this is a scam.

A 5 year old post suddenly gets bumped by about 11 newbies with less than 10 posts each .  Sure looks familiar. Wonder how much he paid for this account? If it looks like fish and smells like fish it's fishy.

Big vouch for Podgor.   So far no problems.  Of course YMMV, this is just my personal experience so far.
Just make sure you Skype the right person as he has a number of impersonators.

 My comment was basically made in jest but yes, this is correct and is something that actually should be suggested (removing those posts) but this is off topic of this thread.

That being said, I highly recommend this list as it has saved me at least one time. For the price you certainly can't go wrong.

Small bug:

Only happens on Banned users:
https://bpip.org/search.aspx?q=nuno12345 doesn't work  <-----------
https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=nuno12345 works

All Other non-banned users:
https://bpip.org/search.aspx?q=LoyceV works
https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=LoyceV works

Thanks to LoyceV for helping me narrow it down.

Probably the wrong place for this post but ........ I'm surprised that when a user is banned it's not "scarlet lettered" BANNED on his/her profile (like in the spot where their rank would be posted).  In the case of gift card scammers in Digital Goods section who have been banned their posts generally remain and since they were locked anyway they continue to scam on Telegram or whatever they were using..

You can add #73 to the banned list.

You can remove LOVEHACKED from the list (along with his 2 scam sisters SKEPTICAL ONE and PRINCE OF ESCAMS).  Lovey got his big payback and finally got banned and joined the other 2. 

And like he said of me earlier in this useless thread:  "Here goes Mr Payback again."  He is def obviously obsessed with me.  Guess that shows I am getting to him.  

@o_e_l_e_o , exactly what you said. Aside from being a troll Mr. Payback has an obvious agenda.  Everyone should be skeptical about this one (pun intended) because it's obvious what he is up to. Note the dates he started posting vs. dates when the scumbags started having bumps deleted and quickly got banned  Obviously all of us tagging the obvious gift card scammers like the former 3 sisters who are, I mean were, scamming behind locked threads have caused Mr. Payback's retirement account to drop like a rock.  

Since I have so much free time  it's quite easy to follow his crumb droppings.  "THEBIGPAYBACK" for me was finally seeing all those major scumbags banned. Still a few to go.

The one positive result of them being banned is most of their alts are now only bumping their threads once a day instead of 20x including the fake sock-puppet posts many of which also were banned

All that plus this idiot's accusations that because the same people tagged these scammers on the same day we are all the same person shows exactly what his agenda is.  He's just a troll and should be stepped on and crushed like the cockroach he is.

Yawn

DUSKEEGIFTCARDS was tagged for being a very obvious fake thread vouching and trust vouching alt of (now banned) BOLG1 along with DUSKS, DUSK, DUSK(pick a wildcard). Sinceyadin, kafiristanica and undoubtedly a lot more and IIRC also had his own thread. Many threads and thread topics get changed or deleted.  Many of the messages in the threads get changed or deleted. Kind of like with the Skeptical triplets of which 2 of the 3 are banned and #3 is trying to behave like the good little scammer boy he is and waiting to jump back in for "the big payback".    They deleted all the old messages (including fake sockpuppet vouches) from a number of their locked threads.

Obviously you didn't read his -999999999999999999 bright red 100% negative trust with about 3 pages of red negs.  Sadly, the only person you have to blame for this one is yourself.  Gotta do the due diligence.
