Actually what I don't get is how this could become a ten page thread while "Selena's" threads get closed within minutes?
Because, Selena tried to scam at 'Bitcoin Discussion' about mining which rewards 25 BTC per 10 min. Here he just wanted 0.33 BTC once and most importantly posted in comparatively less visited 'Services' sub-section.
Sorry, what are you guys talking about Selena's threads? Can someone explain it to me?
Basically the most stupid scam attempt I have seen in the year that I am here:
It was a site with a vid. In the vid we see "Selena" (my guess is she's the mother of that stupid teenager trying to pull off what he thought is a clever attempt at scamming people), she talks about how she's involved with bitcoin since 2011 and has dropped off mining for the costs but now found a
SOFTWARE that was able to deliver 20 TH/s (or something like that in any case a number FAR too high to be achieved by a GPU or CPU miner) on any computer. On the site you could register to download the software, which of course had a virus/trojan in it.
Most funny thing for me though was the obvious inability with the english language the guy posting the stuff had, while the woman in the video was able to speak clear and fluent english.
All in all quite obviously someone that has absolutely zero idea about bitcoin and how it works but was told there would be easy scamming targets in this community, so he thought dropping off some random buzzwords could trigger his "clever" scheme.
