Hi all,
I just got the below via PM, as you can see the site looks exactly like bitcointalk.org (this site) but is a .org.uk tld.

In addition, the PM was probably mass sent to everybody as the "to" was not my account name, hence they sent it to that one person but BCC'd everybody else.

Just saying be careful, lots of scams going around these days.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

OP, please edit title with user name and post title.
Received it too, sent back a poem of my own.

I won't ever ask for a loan nor offer any escrow service. If I do, please consider my account as hacked.

Recieved as well from hiddenoreo, if you try clicking a link on the page it either sends you back to here at .org or it asks you to login. The "official" page to download looks shady as well http://ww<dontlinkme>w.btce-bot.me

if you enter username and password at their fake forum they just stole your account.  Or if you download thaw trade bot I bet it steals all your coins.

Received a PM from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=132829 with the same subject line.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Yes, admins delete PMs sometimes. Mostly phishing spammers.
