I'm guessing they will provide you with a BTC address to send coins to but your ad will never show up on the site since they're not the real admin right? Or are they trying to steal usernames and passwords somehow?

From my experience with the at "Coindesk" I almost sent out my BTC but realized it at the last moment. My guess is that they are not trying to steal usernames.

Its probably not a phishing scam but just trying to scam you out of money by thinking youre getting forum adds. Somebody was scammed a bit ago like this but via the forum.

I've just received an email trying to sell ads on BitcoinTalk. It can from the address [email protected].
I know this is a phishing scam since the same thing happened to me with Coindesk a few weeks ago and this email uses the same methods.



I've marked the email as phishing and if you received this email you should do so to.

Update - I've just written a blog post about the whole story.
Good luck.
