Guys, please be careful! https://twitter.com/H2Ocoin/status/446380052331368448



They're using a fake account and pretending to be "the" blockchain.

Direct message conversation below:

Him

Hello from Blockchain. We are looking to roll out a wallet/exchange with your altcoin. There will be an initial cost. DM back if interested.

Me

Hello there. What would that "fee" be?
May I know what your service includes? Do you have a FAQ or something which could enlighten me?

Him

It will be a wallet PRECISELY like the one that we already have for Bitcoin, as well as an exchange similar to Cryptsy.

Me

And how many people have paid for your scam ?

BOOM, block.


EDIT: PS: The fee is 2BTC.
You'll be shorter for 2BTC.

User fazzerking has been going around soliciting altcoin creators, pretending to be from cryptorush.in. He tries to get altcoin creators to make a "donation" to get their coin listed on the exchange. Could be the same guy.

He PMd me as well. He claimed that he's www.cryptorush.in owner.
I work with cryptorush directly and reported it to them. They also know about that scammer

It's a capital I. Damn arial font

That's the bad thing with arial. You can't say if it's a capital "I" or a small "L"

We have sent reports in to the staff of the forums about this guy once before and it appears hes at it again with another user named cryptorush.in  Honestly this guy needs to get a life and stop pretending to be someone he isn't.  We spoke to him on skype and he threatened me and my staff. He said if we didn't fork over 1 BTC he would continue to pretend to be us and that "his country" protects him against any laws that he is breaking.

He's G.I. Joe.

You should do whatever he says, lol

Also, mods aren't paying attention to the most critical subforums here in BCT.
