Landed at www.[Suspicious link removed] has a wealth of information about Bitcoin and some very knowledgeable members be aware that the site is run by scammers.  Do not trust any of the ads even if they are endorsed by the site administrators.  The site also encourages the sale of accounts you can never be sure who you are dealing with.[/i]

Has this come up for discussion before?

Just to clear things up for people this quote is copy pasted from that website about this one.
Pretty sure that's what you meant to say, but it sounds like you're talking about that site.
Though that might also be correct.

The link is removed for being suspicious so that's definitely not a good sign. Maybe it's a phishing site?

Think he's refering to this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=639853.0

It's nothing suspicious. They just have beef with the mods / admins here.

Yes, that is correct.
A portion of my post got snipped along with the suspicious link.  Smiley
Glad to know that it was discussed earlier, and the background behind it.

Exactly. As for the warning, account selling isn't encouraged... it's sort of allowed because there is nothing definitive that can be done against it. Also, ads on this forum aren't endorsed by the forum, on the contrary, there's a warning next to them: "Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction."

As long as some still fall in these scams, there will always be greedy people creating more and more of such scams...
