Done, but next time have them report the pm using the report button at the lower left right, it will get handled quicker that way.

Looks like it has become a new trend to scam. I can remember, a few days ago, Vod and another guy (forgot his name) won something. But 2 new accounts emerged mimicking Vod & that guy with an added ` and thereby scammed the contest owner through PM.

Can we report this type of accounts too or only the person who is getting mimicked can only do that ?

Yes, please do so.

How would you report a account? there is no report profile/user buttons.

Guess you are talking about this case. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=597152.msg6633639#msg6633639

TL;DR: bitcoinwonders010 got scammed, got the money back with the help of Vod and austin, and got scammed again...

Yes, exactly... but I wonder how he gave money to an alt Vod account which does not have the 'boob licking' pic !!!
