The above conversation was the most recent attempt to scam saying they were me. The first one reported to me happened about 2 weeks and I cannot seem to find the PM in my inbox, I must have deleted it. If you are that person who PMed about it couple weeks ago and have the chats from skype please post them here. Thanks.

I figured as much Wink No worries, I have been looking for some fitting escrow for days and he has been saying that he is you through a gmail acct and torchat.  Thanks for the quick response!  He is apparently trying to sell me 2.5k worth of LTC at the rate of $2.0 per and I was to pay in MoneyPaks.  I can send you the convos if you want, but we didn't transact as I was waiting for him to message me from this acct. I asked about 3 times, he said that the messages sent and that I must have a problem with my acc.
Also,
Torchat id:b2erpjpc3i2ogh6a(CatchMeOnSeals)

I'll just give u the gmail as I just realized that Torchat doesn't save.  There was alot fishy about the transaction (starting with the inconsistent names). It's alot of stuff :/ Thanks again for the response, I am a newbie but this was pretty transparent.  It also isn't in perfect order, sorry.

                        Hey,
                        I have the MPs, but still want to do escrow.  Everything about this transaction is a bit off :/  I hope you don't take offense to this, it is just from a safety point of view.  If you send the equivalent of the first MP (I don't expect you to) that would be fine, but, other than that I think that escrow will be necessary.  Any response from John K? I'll be looking for some other escrow tonight.  Sorry about the long wait!

So, I have 2 MP right now and can get the 3rd tomorrow morning along with one to pay John K.  It's not that I don't have trust in you, I just want to be as safe as possible since I am more of a newbie on the website.  The first two MPs are 834 and the third will be 832 when I get it tomorrow.  What time would be good for you? Morning or afternoon is fine for me.

It has come to my attention in the last two weeks that there is someone trying to scam people and trying to say that I am them. I will post the chats below that have been sent to me via PM. Both times the people that were being lied to contacted me and asked me to verify I was who they were talking to. Due to this any business I do from now on I will be SIGNING with a BTC address I own (ONLY this one): 1King16MnUwPtmVPPPm3dRbB52BDKH2zFs

Heres my first signed message:

"This is Kingofsports from bitcointalk on 8/11/13."

HJEHCk+Htwn1hm4D83l8kPKW2I8X+Aa2F5CI2iRdCkWxPLvQWb0R0JWMZsML/Y5HR6kkGDHGwi4nfap97n2JvH4=

IF SOMEONE CONTACTS YOU ASKING TO TRADE MAKE SURE TO VERIFY THIS! Check the FULL address, and not just see 1king and believe its me. Its very easy to create a similar vanity address.

You can verify signed bitcoin address messages here: http://brainwallet.org/#verify


Who do I think is the person trying to scam under my name?

I am pretty certain it is the person who stalks me everywhere I go and accuses me of being related to someone who supposedly scammed for 1 BTC. The thread can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=244843.0

Numberfive who is nickfor2, a known repeat scammer here and on seals, continuously calls me out and even offered to accept wagers that I would scam again. I stick to my reputation and have scammed no one. I cannot say for certain this is his doing but in a way this would double benefit him, he could blackmail/call me out as a scammer because someone would say they were scammed by me when really it was him who scammed someone. Anyways I wanted to post this to make sure I cover myself.

If someone claims to be me, Ask for "me" to verify the address: 1King16MnUwPtmVPPPm3dRbB52BDKH2zFs and ask "me" to sign whatever message you want to prove my authenticity. I am taking a small break from bitcoins so honestly any trades I do will only be for-profit flips at this moment.

If I offer to sell something for under the cheapest exchange price like btc-e or bitstamp OR offer to pay above mtgox or other exchanges this should be instantly a red flag. I do not pay above market or sell for below market generally.

Evidence chats are below.

Bump.

Taking loans you DONT need, DOES NOT build trust. God people are so stupid sometimes. Just talk on here and do trades over a long period of time, THERE IS NO WAY TO "RUSH" TRUST.

Not interested in buying BTC but I'll offer a $300 moneypak for 3.55 BTC if you really need the fiat. I could get it tonight too.

Hi,
I have spent so many hours trying to find a mining program for mac that works that I honestly just want to throw my computer at the wall. NOTHING WORKS. I don't understand any of these commands or anything, and I've tried following exactly what people have wrriten but all I get is errors or "illegal" or that stuff. Here is my the info about computer and situation:

I own a Macbook that I bought last June/July.
I have a ASIC USB Erupter that mines 330mg/s.
I have windows downloaded using Parallels and Boot Camp.
I wish to mine PPcoin using my Macbook and the Erupter.
I wish to mine PPcoin using this pool: http://ppc.fixx.ru/.

I am open to using any mining software, and if possible I am fine with using my windows to run it (I don't know if I can do that though since this is a mac). I do not know how to program or really anything about coding or commands. I only know what I've read from all these mining so called "newb threads" (they don't help...).

I know I will not be earning much but honestly at this point I'm just so fed up after spending so much time and having gotten nowhere which is why I'm offering a small reward (.05 BTC or 2 LTC) for your help. Please help if you can.

Note: As I have bets pending in sports, the BTC reward will be paid within 24 hours, the LTC reward can be paid immediately.

I wish to mine PPcoin using my Macbook and the Erupter.
I wish to mine PPcoin using this pool: http://ppc.fixx.ru/.

I am open to using any mining software, and if possible I am fine with using my windows to run it (I don't know if I can do that though since this is a mac). I do not know how to program or really anything about coding or commands. I only know what I've read from all these mining so called "newb threads" (they don't help...).

I know I will not be earning much but honestly at this point I'm just so fed up after spending so much time and having gotten nowhere which is why I'm offering a small reward (.05 BTC or 2 LTC) for your help. Please help if you can.

Note: As I have bets pending in sports, the BTC reward will be paid within 24 hours, the LTC reward can be paid immediately.

Sigh...I can't figure this stuff out again. Tried getting mining set up couple months ago and no luck. Again same thing. I am using a macbook pro I purchased in July of 2012, the smaller one, no retina display. I don't understand all this command stuff and whenever I've tried downloading and then typing in the "codes/commands" it doesn't work. Again having that trouble. I am trying to mine PPcoin using my macbook and the USB erupter plugged in. Any help please? I feel really stupid right now, just like last time I tried setting up this mining software. I am also trying to pool mine with Fixx PPcoin pool if that info is needed.

Darn very few are sha256 I see...Is there any miners that are relatively inexpensive for mining scrypt based coins?

Just got a USB miner (330mh/s) and want to mine alternates specifically. Please comment all coins you know of that I can mine. I've seen a couple but I have no idea if they are sha256 mining (as I've been told is what I need). If you know a site that is updated weekly or daily with such a list please comment! I appreciate it guys. 

Calling someone a scammer in the title because they abused the trust system in your eyes is not right. Change the topic of the thread to Kouye abuses trust system or something similar and you wouldn't be getting called out so much in this. A scammer is someone who actually steals something of value from you, not leaves you a negative trust. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of who they trust and who they don't in my opinion.

Hey,
If this doesn't get any more orders soon can I cancel my pre order? Just wondering, seems like not many people are interested in buying one.

Sorry to ruin everyone's surprise but Colliefan is Joey. He is talking in seals now about how hes going to buy $10 worth of BTC from coinbase then wait 30 days and buy 50 BTC instantly. How pathetic of a person is he, the low goes lower every day.

I understand however feeding into Vod's comments and then making threats, you crossed the line. He hounds everyone in the loan section, you let it get to you too much and then made threats. He has a right to report them if you sounded serious in them.

I am not taking sides or spoken to / done business with either of you but from an outside look this truly gives one some "lulz".

Just fyi, all it takes it a simple trust from basically ANYONE for any reason to get you to a trust level of mere 40 on SWC. Hell I have 5000 on there trust level and I know people who have scammed that have more then me. Obviously Joey.

This response screams desperation more than anything and immaturity honestly. I doubt you have much real experience in the field.

The site's owner(s) generally are not on the forums too much. Email their support or contact user "Cusipz" in the chat. He is a worker or is the owner of the site, still cannot tell which. He'll help you with your problem.
