So this is a bought account used now for scamming: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=817937


sends out 1 action of merit (50) to a user it has no interaction with on a shit post/topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3158091.msg32644064#msg32644064


So I suspect that this is an alt of the scammer , one he tries to rank up and keep clean and then re-use later on for scamming.

I mean that's just my suspicion. What do you think?

You have a right to be suspicious but we can't really prove anything. However I have found another pattern with the users mentioned.

Cazkys posts:

For me which I already tried and tested on to myself is to keep yourself busy all the times. Be it at work or just read a good motivational book. Spending time with your family and with your friends while setting up goals can also be a good start. The people that surrounds you can also help you on times that you suddenly think of going back into gambling. You can talk to them and they will definitely help you since they know you more and are the closest people you can count on.

As well as these (which I can't quote)

They both love to start their answers of with "For me"

Just take a look at their post history and they start of sentences almost identical and post in similar paragraphs.

That being said I'm even more sure now that's one and the same person. Should make users aware by giving him neg feedback.

I tagged him for account sales two years ago, and Yahoo62278 tagged him for something else last year--I don't think giving him another neg for merit abuse is going to affect things one way or another, but yep he's probably guilty of it. 

The other account probably deserves a neg, but that's up to other members if they want to do it.  I agree that it might be a "clean trust" account that he's trying to rank up.  50 merits for that post is just ridiculous.

In my own opinion, I think if you have another convincing evidence to connect the two accounts aside for the merits transfer, it would go a long way in proving your case against such individual because just as DT members wants to act decisively in making the forum better or safer, threads like this needs to come up with hard evidence to make their job easier and defendable because if it happens that the merit is an honest mistake, it puts their own reputation at risk as well.

Maybe in the future, if some can be implemented whereby merits from someone who has certain amount of negative trust won't count just like the person who has been tagged by two DT members, things like this won't be reduced to a certain level but until then, there is need for more evidence.
