Hey all...

This is Bitcoin_Mafia. Either I got locked out or some dimrod hacked my account. Either way, until I can prove I am
me and the admin gets me back in, I'm stuck w/ a new account.

I know I was in talks with some of you about coin promotions, and others I was actively working with you to promote
your coins. Please PM me on this account until the matter of my Bitcoin_Mafia account is resolved.

In the mean time, have a good one!

Cheers,

Cynthia

I guess admins know your twitter account. You can tweet about what's happened to your account here as a prove that you are the real owner.

Try to keep changing your IP address.

Already done the IP thing. I still have notification emails from the forum from replies to PMs, etc... so that should
count as proof of something. The advice about Twitter is good though. Thanks!

You can also prove that you're you by doing some sort of transaction with the bitcoin addresses you have used often with your account and a text as public note which a mod can tell you on your twitter or email and it will show that it is in fact you and you can get your account back.

First account stolen, in traditional BCT fashion!

I had the same thing happen (hence the 2 in my nickname). Some chinese guy hacked my account.

I tried, but the admin wasn't interested. The only way he would unlock my account was if I had PM'd my current BTC address to someone, which I've never done.

OP, you registered for the Honorcoin wallet and you must have used the same password there for the registration that you use for your account here.

Honorcoin is clearly a huge scamming project.

Other people have received pm's here with an invite to 'test' an attached RPG game.

The pm was from a zero post user https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=337252

I received it minutes after registering my forum name on the Honorcoin website. Part of that registration process requires you to enter a password as well as give your email address.

Did you use the same pw for the Honorcoin registration as your account here? Tell the truth now Smiley

Another guy got his whole PC hacked thanks to the Honorcoin scam, and had all of his details stolen including sensitive data.

I received it minutes after registering my forum name on the Hircoin website. Part of that registration process requires you to enter a password as well as give your email address.


That zero post user mostly a hacker, made a scheme to use honorcoin's name to start his play.


it has nothing to do with honorcoin dev. team, don't worry about that.


If that game had been sent to you from honorcoin's site or from his account, then it would be another story.

It had nothing to do with honor coin. A scam email was sent out to users of bitcointalk with a RPG game free beta test for registration. Users that signed up got hacked. I have reported it. honor coin had nothing to do with that email. Stop trying to use it to manipulate markets.

FFS how desperate does your wishing it not to be true have to be.

Bitcoin_Mafia didn't run the program, but she did register on the website with the same password.

I registered on the website and almost immediately received the 'game' by pm here.

You know B_M I have been trying to alert forum members on the Honorcoin thread as to this situation and they refuse to accept it is anything but FUD. Another user posted there to say that his original account had been hacked too and he had used the same password as his original forum account as on the Honorcoin website registration and you know what they said? They told him to GFTO because he was posting from an account registered today!

These people couldn't think themselves out of a wet paper bag.

See this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=644517.msg7243215#msg7243215

They gained access to exchange accounts and knew that if they tried to withdraw funds it would likely trigger an email notification to you, so they, instead, sold whatever altcoins were on that account for BTC and then used the BTC to buy their shitcoin at high prices and then sell them low again. Rinse and repeat until the balance is zero.

This meant that they could trade whatever Honorcoin they were holding, selling them high and then buying them back low.

TBH, it was a pretty clever scam.

No hacking involved, just count on a good mix of stupidity and greed.


Let me just repeat the concept that acted as the bait, "Free Money".

There. That should help you recognise when you should be suspicious.

As for the BTT account, well lots of people have interesting information in their PM's stored here. Perhaps information that could be valuable. Plus, as well, in time the account could be used to con people who don't know it is a compromised account and trust what the person is telling them because they see they are a long-time member with history.

That is why I wouldn't trust this 'new' Honorcoin group who are trying to relaunch it, it's just as likely that the scammers from the first fraud are part of the new project, if only in a hidden sense.
