I reported the ANN to the mods, not sure how long it will take to be deleted

Good to know @THeNewAnon135246
That particular user you tagged has about 4 similar projects he kept posting about in a short span of time and all of them require downloading wallets.
The ANN threads are all self moderated and you can even see that a number of user comments have been deleted.

Hope the tag and probable deletion of his posts by mods will slow him down.

I wish mods took a step further and ban him for continuously trying to spread malicious wallets. I've reported him and his fake ANNs for about a week. He has a bunch of alt accounts one of which I was able to get banned for plagiarism.

True, either the mods aren't considering deleting the threads or they haven't seen the reports yet (which i highly doubt)
Nuking the user would be the best step right now.

He is deleting all warnings about his scam from other members

Yeah! I saw more of his threads.
They all have the same goal of scamming/spreading malware.

One of the projects was even discovered to have plagiarized a white paper, A scam accusation was opened against sucrecoin but the OP of the thread has even never bother to respond to the accusation

There is definitely a lot in common with these projects since AlexDuma has been involved in announcing them in his self moderated threads.

Yes it is. I checked all of AlexDuma topics. He creates topics for existing coins, replaces original links with his own, infected with a malware.
