Tagged and nuked.

Nuked and negged. Wonder how long it'll be before I get one? Probably don't do enough trades to be worth it I suppose.

I was surprised when i saw the redsn0w imposter for that exact reason, I don't think he a whole lot here + I don't think he has any open classifieds right now.

I think this is not strange, the lesser-known member, the more likely victim believe imposter

Both imposter accounts based on my username.

It was brought to my attention when I was selling stuff. The imposters were contacting people in my sell thread basically saying "Send BTC Here".

I reported it. But accounts are still there.

You may want to nuke his posts too - he is just copy and pasting posts from other members.

[suchmoon]

I just wanna be on record in stating that I did not create this account to fuck with anybody. That said, who in their right mind would hate a Gleb. HAHAHA OTOH, a retard like Leroy Fodor would possible consider such action. HAHAHA

Come to think of it, the dude has serious mental issues given that he opted to choose a moniker he loathes. That's fucked up on so many levels. HAHAHA

It's funny how these socks quickly find their way to this thread.

Thanks Mitchell, I see that as one of the biggest risks is in the Marketplace Forums. Ive done many trades, selling equipment, also buying, many times with no escrow-- based on my Trust score. So was really surprised when the buyer/user said that they were contacted by the imposter account - looking to "close the deal".

Glad no one ended up falling for it- and from now on will add a disclaimer regarding this, to make sure buyers are making sure all PMs are from my account and not someone else.

Usernames with Os and 0s Is and ls are especially at risk.

Thanks again!

This tends to happen quite a lot, the user has been tagged and will likely be nuked once a mod comes online. Don't worry too much about it.

Can an avatar be used in an attempt to impersonate? This example is clearly just a troll but I found myself confused for a good minute until I finally managed to see the actual username.

Ehhh, I think giving negative trust based on avatar pictures may be a bit of a stretch. There are a fairly good number of avatars that are shared between a large number of users.

In addition to the above, it is fairly clear that he is protesting a viewpoint/stance of yours, and while I do not know the merits of his protest, I don't think anyone should fear getting negative trust simply because they speak out against someone.

With the above being said, it looks like that is probably a hacked account regardless, and has existing negative trust.

Looking at his sig and Personal message I believe he's just mocking you.
