Was a copy of btc-e. If you are login in on a website always look at HTTPS and double check the url. |

The link goes to a fake site that looks like BTC-e.com, when you go to login it steals your username/password. How to protect yourself? simple, when you are going to log into btc-e.com, type the address in the address bar yourself & make sure your using https. Be wary of any links sent to you full-stop, this applies everywhere online not just in the BTC world. |

Well I use web of trust and siteadvisor
Siteadvisor said the URL was suspicious so I closed the window when it gave me the window and made a btc-e account from the official site lol
Then noticed later it was a scam lol so now I use btc-e rofl
But I'm not sure what the scam page looks like myself as I was blocked on the first click, so would recommend a url checker like
Web of Trust or Siteadvisor and some good antivirus software and malwarebytes if it goes past that stage
Think it's a keygen no virus reports so it's the page that is a trap

What do u mean fullstop?
This would have had all of my scammer alarms going off, I would have known something was up because I never win anything. And it just sounds like a scheme..

He says he was hacked. Which is bs as he was still trying to scam people by PM at the same time.
|
Its price is not a very relevant factor in its adoption....

Well considering it had half the forum participating it makes people fall for a sense of fallacy and some air of legitness of course my defenses helped to protect me but got to be careful, even with popular forum threads |

I concur. The proof is in the message headers themselves: GIVEAWAY WINNER!

So, what actually happened? The anyroll thread was locked, but his account is still active with no scammer tag. Is the jury still out?
