Good work. This interiawp is real scamer

What kind of bastard it have to be to profit from the misfortunes of others

It's nothing new. They are everywhere. Scammers does not have any moral.

[Stalker22]

Good job exposing scammer. Some people are willing to go to extraordinary lengths in order to take advantage of other people's suffering. Unfortunately, he is far from the only scammer out there! I expect they will just keep coming back for more.

[suchmoon]

Just report for begging, those posts get removed.

If you want to donate, find a reputable charity. Don't worry too much about the military part, NATO will shovel their outdated equipment into Ukraine and call  it "billions of dollars of support". Take care of humanitarian needs if you can. People will start running out of food and essentials very quickly.

[ololajulo]

At this junction, I dont think they need anything asides physical provision, even cash cant take care of their needs like the food, shelter and clothings. It is important to move children and women out of the country like they are doing now, so all those fund seeking scammers do not seem reliable and relevant, just exploitative.

How about this guy (SupportUkraine)?

He made this post claiming to sell an NFT and the money collected "will be used to help people in Ukraine"

Good afternoon, dear crypto community.

I propose to unite in this difficult time and launch a flash mob to support democracy, freedom and peace in Ukraine.

Your small donation and participation can greatly help those in need.

All proceeds from the sale will go to help the people of Ukraine. I will be happy to answer all questions and listen to any suggestions.

Please find collection here:

Is it in order to flag or tag his profile too?

And I'm trying to get momentum behind a bunch of us doing this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387586.0

Every little bit helps.

This escalated quickly. Everyone who's posted in his ^interiawp topics and asked for some proofs has been red marked by him.
justified doubt of his good intentions it can only come from paedophiles.

LOL, she's just showing the best defense she has, but she's a total sleazy swindler bitch. After all no one wants to be in opposition but just him, and I have tag him for that immoral act. There is nothing worse than scammed others for one's own benefit, and his efforts are dirtier than dirt.

Just to add one more suspicious user asking for donations for Ukrainian people.
User Red55555 was last active here in May 2017, now he remembered that he might be able to ask for a donation on this forum
topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387543

I'm sorry if i break any rules by posting this is, but i have little choice but to ask!

My friend and her 3 year old daughter from Ukraine have left to Romania only with one bag of clothes and without money. I'm trying my best to help her from Finland, but for now the only option for the fast transfer of money is via crypto ATMs at Bucarest. I'm sorry to ask but any help is appreciated!

Also i am trying to reach for her Family back in Ukraine and send them some help via local crypto ATMs if they are still working (may not be working very soon even if they still are).

Again i'm really sorry to ask and i'd never do this if this was only for me, but below are the crypto adresses! Any little help is needed! 100% will go directly to the Ukrainians in need

....

Reported the post and just gave them a neg tag, if they really go nuts it's flag time.

<sigh>
I think we are going to be dealing with a lot of this.

I have seen a number of TikToc users posting live streams of what is likely to be a sound recording of someone crying, and a repeating video of an old building in poor condition, with the caption saying they need money to escape.

It is sad that people are taking advantage of the situation for their own personal benefit.

[Scripture]

Good work. This interiawp is real scamer

Looks like the same thing with you, taking advantage of the situation.

I’ve read the recent tweet from Ukraine’s account and its legit though it raises some concern about getting scammed since many are already posting the same thing with different address details. Its good OP that you find this people, they deserve karma because of this.

[YOSHIE]

From the start he made my topic suspicious and suspicious of @interiawp, he made the same 12 topics about help for ukraine, I also warned him in one of his deleted topics.

Luckily @DaveF acted quickly, otherwise we might see money donated by people for him used for personal gain, this is very annoying to take advantage of other people's suffering, maybe we have taken examples from donations that have happened here which ended up being private in the name of humanity or the virus.

I remind the community in this forum, ukraine does not need funds, they have billions of funds that have been donated by other countries.
• UK provides Ukraine with $120 million in financial aid
• World Bank ready to provide financial aid to Ukraine amid Russian invasion.
• Council adopts €1.2 billion assistance to Ukraine

This amount of funds, if they are not corrupt, is sufficient to meet the needs of the Ukrainian people in the next 1 year.

Now, a lot of news that is created on social networks is an information war against Russia. And many, many things do not correspond to reality.
I am not a citizen of Russia, and thank God I am not Ukrainian, but I know Russian, so I can say that everything that is presented in the European segment does not correspond much to what is happening.
War is always a misfortune and a tragedy, but we all know that for many people war is a means of gain. Now many marauders have received weapons in their hands, they have no nationality, the main thing for such people is their profit from the misfortune of the peoples.
Therefore, it would be right to conclude without trusting feelings. Since it is natural for any normal person to reject violence, at this time one can easily fall into the clutches of scammers. Be carefully.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Take care of humanitarian needs if you can. People will start running out of food and essentials very quickly.

Call me completely misanthropic, but I've never once donated any money to people in crisis in my city, state, or even country.  There's no way in hell I'm sending any crypto to a newly-formed charity (or even an established one) for people I've never given a thought to my life and whose situation I can't assess directly--I certainly don't trust what I see on the news.  Who knows what these charities do with the money they receive?  

I'm not even in a bad mood.

Good job outing these scamming assholes, Dave.  I'm going to take a look and support your negs and flags.  And yes, to those who haven't been on the forum for long, this is what we have to deal with every time there's a big news story about some sort of crisis.  I can't remember what the last one was, but it was probably over a year ago.  If you see any member posting a bitcoin or any other crypto address for donations, just report it to the mods as begging.

Looks like that addy has received a ton of bitcoin already....hope it's spent wisely.

To be honest I'm not really sure, the donation address (357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P) is spent to this address multiple times (3CcF942kYVRotGrfYQxD4QNn4aKVywpRxb)

357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P to 3CcF942kYVRotGrfYQxD4QNn4aKVywpRxb for 1.47699164 BTC

357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P to 3CcF942kYVRotGrfYQxD4QNn4aKVywpRxb for 25.99873414 BTC

357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P to 3CcF942kYVRotGrfYQxD4QNn4aKVywpRxb for 20.00959756 BTC

The thing is 3CcF942kYVRotGrfYQxD4QNn4aKVywpRxb had been reported as owned by a scam company since Aug 5, 2021, does this address belong to scammer?

Huh, now that's interesting--I didn't even know sites like bitcoinabuse.com existed.  However, with respect to that donation address and the complaints I see on the site, there's no proof of any wrongdoing and the site looks very much like the one that had that huge smear against Vod a long time ago (I can't remember what it's called, but basically anybody can post anything about anyone with zero evidence).

I'd hope that an address like that, which has received over $4m and has a current balance of over $600k, doesn't belong to a scammer.  If it does, I'd like to know what kind of scams they're pulling off.  I doubt they'd be charity scams, but I suppose it's possible.

Flag it, I'll support it.

The address 3CcF942kYVRotGrfYQxD4QNn4aKVywpRxb belongs to an exchange, more like a hot wallet, so I am certain the past scams used it for exchanging the stolen Bitcoin.

The name of the exchange is Kuna.io, a Ukrainian crypto exchange. What I think is happening is that the Official donation address was created from that very exchange, so sent Bitcoins are being automatically spent off to the hot wallet like most exchanges usually do.
