Topic: A list of people trying to sell accounts, Potentially hacked/bought accounts. - page 2. (Read 2761 times)

Just letting you guys know that the user Undermood was either sold or cancelled the sale.
Here is the thread, that is linked to the op, which was edited to join a sig campaign: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/moved-to-archive-2067531
As well as here is the archived page, which still shows the post unedited: http://archive.fo/ugL7T

I hope that some members will see this and take action.
I do not think that this dude has any right to take part in any signature campaigns at all.

That is true, what i am afraid of would be DT members attacking me because i like being on this forum, and if they considered my actions wrong, that would be it for my time on this forum.
Personally i consider accounts sales highly unmoral, considering that you are selling all of your trust as well as account for some money.
It would be kind of like selling your Identity or credit score, so other people could scam some other people, which is indeed very fucked up and wrong.
Do you think that would be too much of a witchhunt, or is that kind of a thing we need to do to protect the forums?

I originally had an idea to make a sort of sting op regarding account sale auctions and digital goods threads. The purpose was to get the owner to show the account then tag it directly after.

Of course, this leads to the issue of being immoral towards a merchant selling goods... but when you consider the product, is it justified?

Thank you for your kind words
I have seen so many signature campaign spammers that i do actually see, why account sales and farming is a problem.
And yeah once in a while i see people who use google translate to take part on english boards, which is not a very healthy practice for the average post quality on bitcointalk.
I think bidding on auctions with account sales should be allowed, so we could trick the people who sell into signing message that they own the account, and then posting the signed message with the screenshots as well to make it obvious which account are going to be sold. Sadly, i do not think many people on the forum would appreciate that, because that could be unmoral  from eyes of someone as well.

That's a dead giveaway.   Good for you for taking a stand,  and I agree wholeheartedly with your approach.   I've been negging account dealers for a while now, and I would suggest you prepare yourself for a lot of retaliatory attacks on your trust page.  They'll probably all be untrusted,  but to someone who doesn't dig deep it can look like you're a scammer.

Account sales and farming has gotten way out of control.   I've noticed a lot of shitposting noobs lately,  and I strongly suspect that's the result of farming.   Even if account sales don't lead directly to scamming, people buy them to participate in campaigns, and they usually can't speak a lick of English.   Not good for the forum.

How about people that are buying accounts? Additionally, this would only really regard Member+ accounts considering they would be the only ones that a rating would have a real effect on.

And the negative will at least disrupt non-account sale related activities, like trading. You wouldn't want to do a currency swap with someone that has Trust: -2 on them would you?

Im not listing the throwaways, some people however use something like Sr. Member accounts or Hero Member accounts for sales example if you check Undermood for example. I add the accounts that i think are worth adding to the list, so not brand new accounts solely for account trading for example. It might take some of my time, but this is the way that i can contribute to bitcointalk community as well, so i have no problem using some of my time for doing this

Best Regards.

The fact that most of the account selling accounts are just throwaway's created for the sole purpose of account trading to hide their original identity.Even if you manage to list the account names,chances are those would be dumped after an account is sold and a new one would be created for another sale.Do you think it's worth your time to keep up with all of them ?

Weirdly, suddenly the account has had posts to some local board it has never posted before, as well as the way of posting has changed alot. for this reason i'll add a seperate part for potential sold or hacked accounts as well.
Changing passwords and email can be done example in case of data breach, it does not mean that the account has been sold (although it is a red flag that such thing has happened).

Best Regards.

PAKYU sold his account yesterday.

Yeah that was actually that i was pretty much thinking of.
I think that everyone taking part in account sales deserves to get negative trust, because of the trust farming, spamming and such related to them.
Of course if someone is a newbie, it makes no reason to add them to this list but full members and up actually have something to lose usually.
Do you think a thread like this possibly would be too much on the long run (was thinking if this is considered to be a witch hunt )?

Are you going to be counting anyone who participates in account sales? I've taken the liberty of tagging those such accounts when I can.

The below is the basic format of the code:

[/code]

I have decided to make my own list of people trying to sell accounts, because i kind of have had enough of it.
Will be pasting the original as well as the archived message, and the users they are trying to sell from.
I'll add users that are not tagged, and remove them once they get tagged. I believe we should give them a lesson, and i want to contribute to this forum in that kind of way.
If you have any tips, let me know and i'll add the users to the list once you provide with archived version of the page as well as the original page.

You can check from Haveibeenpwned for any possible email, password, username and password leaks. If you can find yourself from that list, please change your password ASAP!

Account sellers:



Potentially hacked/bought accounts:

PAKYU. Reasons: A gap of over a year, suddenly waking up and posting on local boards that the account has never posted on as well as no staked address. Changed password and email recently.
ConspiracyCoin. Reasons: A gap of around 2 years, started suddenly posting on turkish.
Monkey1. Reasons: A gap of around 3 years, started suddenly posting on turkish (Made some posts on Korean few years ago before going inactive).
onesalt. Reasons: A gap of around 5 years, started suddenly posting on turkish and all recent posts on turkish local boards.
ap3311. Reasons: A gap of around 3 years, started suddenly posting on turkish and alot of recent posts on turkish local boards.
presidentcoin. Reasons: A gap of around 3 years, started suddenly posting on turkish and alot of recent posts on turkish local boards. (Posted on german board before).
hashforce101. Reasons: A gap of 1 month, as well as the grammar has changed significantly. Started almost suddenly after the gap of 1 month and change on grammar, to offer Campaign management services. Has been asked to provide a signed message to prove ownership of the account.

Tagged accounts:

If your account is listed here, you can remove yourself from the list by proving your account ownership with signed message. Reply here or shoot with PM. Needs to be staked address. The exception however is, if you woke up from a period of inactivity over a year suddenly, then the signed message needs to be from an address that was used before inactivity period. If you are not able to provide signed message from staked address, then i cannot help you.
