My Advise to Forum members on PMs offers

[Pokapoka124]

This is the first I have seen someone openly talk about this. I have never received any such pms about promotions or anything of the sort. Legit companies who want their advertising done on the forum know the service board is where they can find reputable bounty/campaign managers, some may choose to create their own forum account to manage the campaign themselves. If you’re getting the offers you say you’re, then you must be doing something right maybe in the gambling or casino threads.

You getting promotional messages inbox OP is your luck and destiny. I know campaign managers do that to members they think are exceptional posters. But I did not know other random members also pm people on that too.

I only receive threats from desperate cheaters and offers to remove negative tags.

That is serious. But what do those who make threats online aim to achieve? Do they expect that such threats can shake someone up or what? What kind of a threat will that be. Someone who they may not even know where he resides, and you are threatening to do them harm? That is funny.

I once saw a thread like that in the service board where it was written on the title something like; signature space and avatar for rent, if I’m not wrong. I’ve never opened to check what it is all about but this post just gave me a clearer understanding of what it means. I don’t know there’re such offers coming for people to rent out their signature space or avatar.

I think one needs to be very extra careful of what they promote when they receive such offers. It is better you work under a reputable manager in the forum rather than falling bait of promoting a scam project which will tarnish your image and account in the forum. That should be the worst nightmare you would want to avoid here; promoting a scam project you know nothing about, not getting paid and at the end losing your trust in the forum.

Well some do attach their ANN thread so that would be your judge if it was a scam or nah. I had few users contacting me to rent my space, but I am not taking any for now since I do not have the time to check the project that they are trying to promote through me.

Usually the offer are through some stablecoins with a fixed amount, so that is that.

[Kavelj22]

Offers sent via private messages are usually not serious enough, especially since the accounts that send these offers are new accounts.

There are new members of project owners who may be honest and do not know that by this behavior they raise suspicions about the credibility of their projects, but unfortunately there is no way to verify this.

I wouldn't say that this is suitable for newbies. Newbies can't use signature space so what you advise won't really work for newbies. This time my signature space is not available for other campaigns since it is used for rollbit as everyone can see but during my time when I didn't join any for quite some time, I never received PMs like that but rather received PMs from the same forum user about casinos asking if I am interested in turnkey online casino development services which I ignore since the sender is newbie.

Before, I received some offers but mostly are in gambling. And since it needs a capital, so I end up hesitating and join signature campaign instead for sure profits. However, my advice for that is always DYOR before you take some actions. Not all offers could make you go wrong, as some are legit and reliable projects but you just have to trust them so you can also be rewarded. But to make it sure, once money is involved, always think a lot of time and do deep researching.

This is an experience I got in the forum but I didn't know how it works and I did not also bother to ask or raise a topic because the conversation was rightly dealt with.
I received a private message from someone I think it was a full member rank user, asking if I could rent out my signature space to promote their project here in bitcoin talk and reddit.

I can't actually remember how much they offered to pay me but then I was already wearing a signature.I  simply responded that I am already promoting another company, that maybe when I don't have a company to promote I will consider their request. They tried pushing the conversation further that I am a quality poster that I deserve more but I wasn't actually interested, so I found my way around to end the conversation thinking it was some kind of generic scam attempts in the forum.
It is now I am realising that that kind of offer could also be here. I'll have to search my pm for that conversation.

I am just so who you are really referring to because you can't tell us that newbies really need all these advise you are trying to tell us who looks like you don't really know much a out this great forum before you will come up with advise which is just very funny to me. Maybe you are trying to advise those you know more than what you think you know.
Okay you write somethings about signature and accepting offers from dm and how it can be paying more than the normal signature we ha e here. That is unnecessary and I don't think anyone needs all these to stay alive. Just stick to your signature that is paying you are stop advising newbies when you are also one.

I think you joined signature campaigns which I think because of you founding out that you can earn crypto by joining signature campaign such as this one I joined and also its different from gambling which you don't need to have capital before you can earn crypto. I would also advise newbies that doing your own research could help to answer some of your own question in mind about something such as signature campaigns.

For the past few weeks back I have received various offers through personal messages on this forum, asking me to rent out my signature, avatar, and personal text space to promote their brand on this forum

You are a lucky man and you may need to realize that you are the criteria they may be looking for here. I've never received the offer directly from a business owner, but a campaign manager once offered me a spot.

When it comes to business, you need to research before accepting a particular job ^{[newbies may not be familiar].} Sometimes it's hard to spot any form of fraud in the first place if the owner has prepared it as best he can to hide it from you or the community, but it can always end badly when the business doesn't do well or it may lose due to lack of interest. Need some experience with this, so the beginners section doesn't seem like a great place for this thread either, IMO.

I don't really like the new way of accepting users through PM invitation. What of about the users that applied for the signature campaign? They will be ignored, that means, is there any need to create a campaign thread again? Since that is the best way, they can just invite by pm any user that is good in the forum to wear signature, avatar and personal text. This new development that is coming up in the forum is wrong. Let everybody go to the campaign thread and apply if they are qualify and interested to participate in the the campaign.

[freedomgo]

This will depend on who makes the offer. If it is an untrusted newbie, then that's immediately a red flag. But if it's an untrusted newbie who's willing to put payment funds in a reputable escrow, then it might be legit. But there is also a need to take a look at the company or service that is to be promoted.

Also, it is possible that an offer comes from a known campaign manager here. I know, for example, that there are signature and avatar slots that are offered through PM even though the same is also being posted on the services board. Others might only be offered through PM and recommendations.

For me, regardless of who made the PM if it’s newbie or a legend in the forum, the best thing to do is still to make DYOR and investigate the project. If it’s legit and is very promising, then you can bite the offer and see where will it lead you. But this is only happening occasionally, as most of the legit projects and reputable managers post it on the forum rather than making a PM to someone they are targeting. Still be cautious on that matter.

[Marykeller]

Not everyone in the forum does receive a pm for the rent of their avatar and signature space. Receiving it means you are a quality poster. Although there are members of the forum that openly rent their avatar and signature space for reputable projects. They should ask those people for the service of using their avatar and signature space if they are genuine than getting involved. That should be your best response to them to avoid promoting a project that will tag your account at the end. It will be a good idea not to get involved and to take chances that you will regret in the future.

I believe that some users have received various kinds of PMs, while some are for promotional offers others may be threats from members who may have seen your activities as a threat to them, and most times those who send such threats are scammers who may have been exposed and tag by other members here most especially the DT members.

[qwertyup23]

This advice cannot be for n newbies because they cannot wear a signature and therefore the lowest rank that these offers may receive is the full member, but what is the point of creating this topic?

Rarely does an account have unique writing style that companies have to pay specifically to rent out their ad space.
Thus, scam may be the only motive if you receive such offers.

Interesting enough, I have not encountered any PMs renting out my signature in order to advertise a certain gambling establishment, local exchange, or mixer.

Though there may be some forum users who post regularly, I have yet to encounter this kind of offer. But like what you mentioned, newbies cannot wear any signatures- so the offers of renting out their signature space cannot be made applicable to what OP is referring to.

The bottomline conclusion is- always be doubtful and skeptical. If you receive a random message informing you to invest or to try a certain wallet and/or links, be skeptical that it is a scam. Again, it is wholly better to prevent a scam than to cure a scam!

Rather than putting up large body of text saying nothing to contribute to the discussions and just following a pattern of replies from members with the same fragile mindset as yours and just commenting to increase your post counts, i advise you to read the replies of those with knowledge and experience to learn and not just be jumping up and down trying to look smart saying nothing, this is not going to help you. Stick to what you know and stop jumping into discussions you have nothing to add. I come in peace!

For the past few weeks back I have received various offers through personal messages on this forum, asking me to rent out my signature, avatar, and personal text space to promote their brand on this forum so I went into research to access the risk and the benefits that will come with such offers.

You had better be careful with the kinds of PMs you received, I've got so e scenarios of receiving unsolicited messages that i do end up reporting such shit and aside that, I don't still believe if they can pay more than the signature campaign here on the forum, if not they would have come out boldly to make expression of interest and open a bounty or signature campaign to back up their stand, be suspecious of anything too real to be truth, moreover i think you should have accepted one of their offers and do away with your signature campaign since you said it pays than sig campaigns.

[goldkingcoiner]

Well, I have never received such an offer. I do however wonder how much these people usually offer you? If anyone has experience, I would love to know.

As far as scams go, anyone could get duped into promoting a scam project. We are all human, so there needs to be room for understanding... But if you continue to support a scam, even though people tell you its a scam then you will ruin your reputation and you will deserve the red trust, regardless of whether or not the signature was ok'd by a signature bounty manager. Furthermore, you should always do a minimal amount of research before you put their signature on your profile. Don't expect a manager to do it for you.

[KingsDen]

I only receive threats from desperate cheaters and offers to remove negative tags.

Making offers for you to remove the negative tag in their profile is something that is understandable and something cheater can easily do because most of them think that money can solve all problems.
But then issuing a threat to you is something I don't know how they will be able to do that. Let me assume that a threat is a threat as it is called and it cannot be real. The only people that can give you a threat maybe you have a second thought about it are people from your local.
They must have known you in person or have an idea of the state or locality you live.
I will be glad if I can see a copy of the pm to know how the threats will be like.

[isaac_clarke22]

It varies. You could receive offers through Telegram or from your inbox here in the forum. I ended up encountering from both platforms though I humbly decline since I do not have the time to review their projects or their ANN thread or even their main website.

Usually it is just the usual introduction to what their project is all about and sometimes they do put their main website, and sometimes they don't. They will offer you a payment of either a token or a stablecoin in an exchange. From how it ends up, I do not know since I declined.
