We need an efficient way to report scammer accounts

[GreatFelix]

I stumbled by accident over a scam account that uses YouTube videos from different accounts to gain some bounty tokens - and I had a hard time finding a way to report the account in a streamlined fashion. I just gave a negative trust. The user running the scam was a bit salty on one Telegram channel I am in - and was aggressive - but wrote proper English.

I backwards searched the Telegram username @MyNameisLov3 and found one post from the account that had a YouTube video in a bounty - so I started to dig deeper and found another YouTube video linked as "own work". Well - yeah - two different persons with a different voice on two different YouTube accounts.

Well yeah - there has to be a way to streamline stuff like that better - to report a list of posts that clearly shows "there is something wrong". Right now Bitcointalk is just overflooded by Scam/Bounty-Shit-Poster/-Stuff.

OMG!!!
Please I really want to believe that that Expert3 is not Coin Bloq.

I personally follow Coin Bloq channel and he really make sense. He is doing really hard work and great job to deliver his contents and look his channel has now 23K followers! Do you think he has time to do such nonsense things in this forum?

What I suspect is, Expert3 just tried to use one of his video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS2RJUePR5Q) claiming his (Expert3) just to receive some bounty coins. I also doubt Coin Bloq does not have any clue yet that something like this happened with his video.

I do not know about Martins Hacks. Possibly he can be Expert3 or I may be totally wrong. I just checked Martins Hacks hacks has 16K subscribers.

It's too late today in my side. I really need to dig more on this since I still think Coin Bloq is not Expert3. I just need to be 100% sure about it.

PS: If your evidences proves true then you definitely reserve credits for this post.

Of course Expert3 is none of those people on YouTube - I just went digging around after a user on Telegram with the ID "@MyNameisLov3" totally got onto my nerves, found the connection between "Expert3" and that this account is a scammer.

Ok I totally missed this part, my bad. Great job in finding this Expert3.

This is really unethical.

I had to do the same thing like you, left him/her a red trust.

I'm currently managing a bounty campaign, and more than 90% is just stealing content (see spreadsheet). User "Expert3" is in there too, with stolen content.
But since this campaign doesn't require posting/spamming on Bitcointalk, they could always claim someone else entered using their name, so I can't justify red trust for this.

Right now Bitcointalk is just overflooded by Scam/Bounty-Shit-Poster/-Stuff.

In Recent Unread Topics, 15 out of 40 recently bumped threads have "bounty" in the title.
Now let's have a look at the posts that bumped these threads (I left out the Russian thread):

Shouldn't all bounty threads that allow/require users to spam the forum with Twitter and Facebook links be closed and banned?
They're all just competing to stay on top of a board filled with spam.

I was not aware of these boards when I open up this thread. I'll gonna go this way in the future, if I find some time in a few weeks I might start a thread with a list of questionable accounts.

Wow, I am impressed - in the normal case the scammers get away with this kind of behavior! You are a good Bounty Manager, because you read and watch the content, that shows that you are care for the projects you are involved in!

User "Expert3" is in there too, with stolen content.
But since this campaign doesn't require posting/spamming on Bitcointalk, they could always claim someone else entered using their name, so I can't justify red trust for this.

In the cases I picked up - Expert3 posted the stolen content directly into the board - this is a hard prove that he is a bounty scammer.

I agree on that. The sad part is - this mass posting of reports kill any discussion that would give even Bounty related threads a bit of value.
