Too many threads titled that X bitcoins are stolen. What is it? An attempt to spread FUD (Bitcoin is unsecure, blah-blah-blah) or housewives have started using Bitcoin intensively?

I'm guessing it's mostly FUD and/or people trying to get free BTC donations.

This story: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=295931.0 for instance, is highly suspect. AlisonZ got her bitcoins "stolen" within 5 days of registration. Plus her story is highly inconsistent.

timeline of AlisonZ's posts:

inconsistencies:
  • why would she ask for a loan when she was to receive 15 BTC by the next day?
  • why would she ask for investment advice when she was announcing a new wallet company the previous day?
  • she was planning for an advanced wallet service, yet she doesn't know what cold storage was
  • "NEW Online wallet solution that is [...] extremely profitable for future users" - WTF?
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

At least a couple of them are scammers attempting to garner sympathy. Most of them probably need to be moved to tech support or scam accusations at least, not really bitcoin discussion.

I think it would be better off as: My wife stole my bitcoins and ran off with another guy. Gibe mah pity monies pls.
