Be careful where you mine and exchange bitcoins for money. Most mining pools are a scam, bitcoin exchanges too(they will hold your money for months), look in the scammers section and see for yourself .org.DO.NOT.CLICK!!!!!/1/Login.htm][PHISHING-LINK-REMOVED].org/index.php?board=83.0
For safety, in the quoted PM above I editted the actual URL that was linked to (added ".DO.NOT.CLICK!!!!!") but it's obviously a honeypot to steal your forum login & password. Do not fall for this shit.

Admins, perhaps you can ban this user + his IP or whatever.

Note that this sucker even managed to misspell the fake link description ("bitconitalk.org" instead of "bitcointalk.org") Cheesy

To Bitcoinswaw: people like you are the cancer of the internet. You stink.
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

I got same message from user "supernatural".

Obvious phishing is obvious.

I guess someone took some accounts here with same trick and now is using those accounts to spread more.

I laughed when I got the same message.  I have to admit, if I didn't notice the "mispelling", I might have clicked on it. (pun intended)
