Be careful about some messages to your DM

I was waiting for your response, I believe the allegation would have been cleared sooner. Unfortunately that took several days to happen. I think the OP and other members jumped to conclusions based on their experience with scammers, although there was no indication of a scam in the pm. Two wrongs don’t make a right. You may be guilty of sending unsolicited messages, but imo OP shouldn’t have published a message that was supposed to be private.

Thank you @OP, so the name of this bastard is tajimas.

Have you report the PM to Admin? he might get banned for sending unsolicited messages.

He's actually Full member rank, so he can send PM to everyone except the users have block to receive PM from him, some low members rank might think he's legit since he's not a newbie.

Slow down, I think this person meant no harm to OP, until proven otherwise, just because someone send you PM doesn't mean they are scammers, some people are looking for people to hire or share their experience with is all, they are bored, they want someone to talk to.

With PMs on this forum I have made new friends right from the start when I was a newbie, some are scammers as they sent me links and I believe those links are not safe but I just ignored them, few came to make friends and one claimed that he contacted me because of the topic about my past life.

He asked how I was holding up and since then we still talk till date, if someone meant you harm you will know by what they ask of you, it is easier to say that if people need information they should share it on the forum by creating a topic about it, but some information that people seeks are meant to be private.

Let's respect that, only take a step after you find out that the person planning to scam you or don't bother to even reply any PMs, my point is not all those that sent PM to you are evil or scammers.

To be fair this bloke messaged me out of the blue and we've been having a great chat about BTC... He hasn't tried to scam me or direct me off-site... He wants to chat about crypto... Give him a break...

so true. Let's think more positively and wisely, not everyone who sends messages via PM has bad intentions. If you don't want that kind of PM or don't want to be PMed by people you don't know, it's better to just leave it alone and don't need to reply.

If it is really proven that you have committed fraud, then you can report the account to the administrator by attaching proof of the fraud. That's actually better than immediately judging someone that he wants to deceive even though we don't know the truth.

I have received many messages from some users in this forum, but some are real advice on how to build a good relationship with people and some are scammers looking for members to scam in the forum. I know that they use different strategies message to deceive members, because they will write the message in a way you will think the message is coming from the founder of Bitcoin until you verify very well before you can understand that the person is a scammer. There are some too, that use hospital to collect money from some users in the forum by telling lies that he is in the hospital for treatment but no money to pay the hospital bill and the hospital workers refuse to allow he to leave the hospital.

I believe some members are already knowledgeable about such but also I still believe that some aren't. The forum is a big place and any big platform that discusses crypto-currency is always a target for scammers.

  The forum has done so much to frustrate those fraudsters and I think it should be commended although this scammers are dogged with their actions. They do send messages to your DM with all sort of crazy format.

I have gotten some recently and I would be posting although I have edited the link so it won't be clickable.

I haven't checked the authenticity of this message but it already spells scam. I won't even want to find out if I am wrong or right on that.

Be careful about such newbies, they come with all these enticing stories all to draw you in and then telling you how it's not a scam. In your best interest it best not to find out so don't even click the link. I would find better ways to protect my DM from such in the future.

Thanks OP, you've put up quite a helpful post for us, as it's intimidating for newbies. Newbie members who are not very experienced about scams so may face any time but those who read your post will never fall into the trap of scams. That's why this post of yours is useful for everyone, and I myself have been alerted.

The part that looks and sound confusing to me is where is said that the merits of the account can be removed, thats a big fat lie, there is no such rules unless one have many Smerits that they are storing and not sharing.

This message do look suspicious to me, if he is looking forward to get replies about development of cryptocurrencu in this time of the world then he will get better answer by creating a topic about it, he is even sounding like someone who want to confuse their victim.

I am not saying he is a scammer, I am saying to back up his points he lied about the forums rules which feels like he has a end plan, which could be a bad one.
There must be no discussion between you and any stranger from this forum that requires you leaving this forum to discuss with them on telegram like apps, this is the real danger, thanks for sharing OP.

This thread is already on the 4th page before your post, and a lot has been said on the matter yet you have said nothing new and only repeating points that has been cleared before. Tahimas didn’t lie about the forum rules. Obviously you didn’t read any of the replies on the thread. If you did, you would see when lovesmayfamilis explained that Tahimas made the comment about merits believing the April fools joke by Theymos was real.

Are you fucking serious???
I have sent several messages to the most respected and active members of this forum,eight to be exact
I didn't offer anyone anything at all,but i realize that no one wants to share information for free
I have not and will not be recruited into any project
I didn't ask anyone for seed phrases and have no intention of doing so
You're all out of your minds here!!!!
In one post you called me a scammer
People,what's wrong with you ALL?
I didn't ask anyone to click on any links or download any files
Why are you all so angry and accusing people of something they didn't do?
You all called me a bastard
ARE YOU PEOPLE SANE OR NOT?

I regret.

It looks like people are only responding to fill their signature quota. I asked the moderators to close the topic since the OP, unfortunately, apparently does not know how to do this.

Should we also complain to the moderators that the answers are already of little value?

There must be no discussion between you and any stranger from this forum that requires you leaving this forum to discuss with them on telegram like apps, this is the real danger, thanks for sharing OP.

While the topic is still open, let me find out why? Especially the word "must not"
Are you prohibiting this?
