Shoot, that really sucks. I removed the ad and added some warnings.
This sort of thing unfortunately can't really be prevented. Even if anyone had the time to exhaustively check a site for phishing links (etc.) before advertising them, the website could just change the links later. The only solution is for Web users to be constantly vigilant.

Looks like theymos changed forum advertisement as well, now it says : "Warning: bitcoinblackfriday。info (previously advertised here) is a scam site linking to phishing versions of several notable websites. See here for more info."
We made the news. News: Warning: bitcoinblackfriday。info is a scam. More info Yes, and on the advertising spot it sometimes shows that warning with big red letters. I hate phising sites, I once logged in to a fake facebook, but I realised it was faje so quickly change passwords. Good job mods/admins/scam busters!

Thanks for the PM... I removed the signature. I guess I should have spent a bit more time researching the signature provider and the links in their ads. Hopefully nobody fell prey by clicking on it when I was advertising for them ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) .

Good catch NLNico. Although I am sure a ton of people signed up for their newsletter and could have possibly fell for the scam if they didn't check the website addresses. Fortunately it seems like gmail is blocking their e-mails and sending them straight to SPAM so hopefully that will help reduce the amount of victims and give them enough time to find this thread and other warnings. Also it's great that theymos added the announcement on the forum header, I would not have found this otherwise.

They changed the links today, so you wouldn't have noted it even if you would have checked them when you joined.

Because of this signature campaign(bitcoinblackfriday) I found at that black friday existed, so I was very happy because I found out something new and cool. I signed up with my email, so I looked today for an email, but could not find it. Why did gmail,block it, did they know they were a scam? If it was not went to spam, I would have bought some stuff, I am very lucky that I have not checked my spam box ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thanks for discovering this scam Nico, and save some people from being scammed!

Gmail blocks these newsletter type e-mails quite frequently. I only ever check my spam folder when I am specifically looking for something that might've been sent there instead of my inbox. Gmail blocking them could be due to any of the following: poorly configured mail servers, mail servers/IPs are blacklisted, Gmail detected spam-like behaviour from the sender, etc.

From what is coming out of this is smith coins is the alt of the signature campaign's admin GotaPauj. Luptin has confronted him with accusation here: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1267751it is still in the process but if his findings are solid then Smith coins should release those funds in escrow and pay the participants including the ending days bonus that is yet to be paid to them.

I didn't follow their announcements etc. so I don't know much about them. But just by looking at 5 of their top 8 ads: deals.bitcoinblackfriday.info/offer/primedice-deposit-at-least-1-btc-and-receive-1-btc-for-free/ links to primedice.io instead of https://primedice.comdeals.bitcoinblackfriday.info/offer/trezor-the-hardware-bitcoin-wallet/ links to buy-trezor.com instead of http://buytrezor.comdeals.bitcoinblackfriday.info/offer/spondoolies-tech-sp50/ links to sqondoolies-tech.com instead of http://www.spondoolies-tech.comdeals.bitcoinblackfriday.info/offer/gyft-25-discount-for-all-gift-cards/ links to appgyft.com instead of https://app.gyft.comObvious scam is obvious. Owner at forums: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=525055And promoted by ~50 ppl in his signature campaign, well done guys. edit: seems like they also have 1 ad on this forum... I think the site was just offering paid adverts. They should really moderate the adverts, otherwise the leader will lose his neutral status on an established account. Fel free to give the accounts connected to these scams a minus activity with the risked-amount stated and refrenced from an image of a screenshot of the website! This is what happens when people don't put disclosures on their websitesThat's gotta hurt (6 minus trusts already)

From what is coming out of this is smith coins is the alt of the signature campaign's admin Gotupaju. Luptin has confronted him with accusation here: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1267751it is still in the process but if his findings are solid then smith coins should release those funds in escrow and pay the participants including the ending days bonus that is yet to be paid to them. No. He was initially linked to the scammer here. But he proved he sold the scammer's account before he committed the scam. So AFAIK smith coins is not an alt of the scammer. thriftshopping is an alt of the scammer GotaPauj.

shit. i guess that is their mistake, but i am now believing that that people submitted those stuff is scammer.

out of ability to use the signature, i want a new ban strike policy that will fade the strike after 90~120 days of the ban and not to be traced back, like google | email me for anything urgent, message will possibly not be instantly responded i am not really active for some reason

Thanks for your helpful advice. If wouldn't have checked this post out, I would have fallen for the same scam too. I was about to spend some of my BTC on one of the listed sites there but to be on the safe side, I guess I will just hold them for some time. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
