Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹
Since my day 1 in this forum till date, I haven't received such messages as account sales advertisement. How do they target their victims?
Do they careful track accounts sales thread and understand users interested in account sales or they just send random messages to see if they can be lucky?

What's the point in banning this user? He is using a low ranked jr member account and if banned he will just make a new account, buy a merit from some other user, and continue to sell account or attempt to. Better to just tag the user(which has already been done) and go on with your day. Report the PM if you want and maybe ignore the user.

Congratulations. I think everyone who has been here long enough has received this type of PM.
There is nothing to do other than just to ignore the user.
Usually, they won't bother you once you do not engage with them and it is totally pointless to advice them against it because they are aware of the rules and they won't stop.
So, just ignore them.

A dishonest person is bothering by PM me for selling BitcoinTalk account.
If you don't know the member and don't want to receive his PM again in the future, you can ignore the message, select the private message option and enter the username, you won't get any more messages from the spammer.

If what you say is honest, it means he sent a random message and you are one of the targets, so don't pay attention to the message, remember buying an account is risky, so don't deal with spammers, lately PM has been a target for spammers to prey on their victims.

If you don't feel guilty and don't know the person, do as I say and go easy on the PM.

I don't know if this is the right place to appeal against such dishonest people. Recently a member @ozan PM me to sell account, I didn't know anything about this person before he PM me. He told me that account can be purchased from member to legendary, now I don't understand why he messaged me like that stupid what is his purpose.

From the message, it seems as if he is responding to some question in the sense that you asked him about buying a BTT account, and he is telling you to be direct and not to waste his time. For what reason he did this, we can only guess - maybe he wanted to send a message to someone else, and maybe he is sending messages to all accounts with low ranks in the hope that someone will be interested in his offer.

The best thing you can do is to report the post by going to that message and clicking "report to admin" as unsolicited PM.

As you can see the user ozan already has 3 negative tags of account selling by some DT members which means that the community is aware of this act by the user so you should just disregard the PM you get from the user to purchase a bitcointalk account or you can place them on your ignore list.

Lightning network is good with small amount of BTC
Selling of bitcoin account is not against any rule on this forum but according to the rule, it should be discouraged. So negative neutral trust and negative trust is good to discourage that as it can lead to scam.

Scam is not moderated on this forum.

But if he sent you PM on this forum, that violates rule 29.

29. Sending unsolicited PMs, including but not limited to advertising and flood, is not allowed.

But I do not know what the punishment will be.

He has already got neutral and negative trust from many many times due to doing such fraudulent work. Maybe he should be banned altogether so that he doesn't encourage anyone else to commit such fraudulent acts.

I present that evidence here;
