accounts of this forum are being impersonated in altcoinstalks

[bitmover]

I noticed some users are being impersonated in another forum to join  some giveaways.

@BlackHatCoiner @GazetaBitcoin,  I suggest you take a look and teleport your account (so nobody willbe able to use your name there again)

I created a topic about it

If i see more users I will add them here. There are probably more abuse

First of all, I just checked and the two accounts are under review so kudos to the admins on Att for that quick response.

I also want to add that the users behind this disgusting attempt to abuse a user's reputation are still part of this forum, and they have observed for a long time that either those reputable members have not yet teleported their accounts, or just don't have any interest to do so.

Someone help me understand this teleportation thing. I thought someone could not fake an account's activity score when teleporting an account to the other forum. Let's say someone wanted to impersonate me, they would have to add some link to my Bitcointalk profile (if I recall well), which they can't do unless they have access to my account. So how are these scammers able to impersonate old reputable accounts?

They could not fake the activity score because a legit teleported account start at higher activity score. They were simply registering new account under the nickname of some reputable user on this forum that hasnt teleported their account ( 2 nickname spotted by bitmover )

So far all of those account's post were on bitcoin price prediction thread but its always better to be safe than sorry. God knows when they will start 'scamming' under those reputable nickname

They just used the same names. But they did not teleport

When you are teleported you get the rank and activity of your rank on altcoinstalks forum, and you also get a teleported badge.

However, as someone already took their usernames, they would have to ask admin to rename or deleted these account so they could properly teleport now
