Attention everyone!

The post is a scam and all replies in it under FairProof are fake. Whoever posted all of the above had used my password and seems to know a bit too much about my business affairs.

Busy with my advertizing project, I paid no attention to what’s been happening in this post. A total surprise, imagine someone trying to sell your business without your consent, the scammer even replied to a few PMs.

I am always careful with my passwords and it beats me how it all worked out. I really hate to think the forum admins are involved. It is also possible that someone’s been reading my emails and IMs.

The weird part is that I do intend to sell my business, had been negotiating for a while and reached an agreement a few days ago. To tell you more, I even got paid part of the price in advance. Now I am going to have to explain all this nonsense to my partner.

I have changed all my passwords and am taking all possible steps to repair the damage. No idea what’s been going on here, it really made me feel paranoid.

All I can think of is a competitor trying to discredit the FairProof lottery. Since the site is really well protected, (we did use some serious security algorithms there) they decided to take an easy route and post this fake bullshit here.

Lol It was just a marketing Plane

Hi!

Thanks for all who have help me against scammers who hacked my account. However, this stupid situation resulted in a great outcome since we got quite perspective offer from investment fund. I think it will be confirmed on my partner`s site soon.

I am happy this defamatory story has the good ending for me and Fairproof.com users.

Hmm, I spoke to a couple of people I trust to be good security experts.

I asked them what I should do so nothing like that happens again.

One of them gave the same advice as you, so it sounds like the very thing I am going to do.

Thanks a lot!

@OP: As far as future business practice goes, my advice when making any official and important statement regarding your business would be to have a GPG key that you can sign off messages from (that you have previously affirmed is tied to you exclusively) and keep that safe (preferably offline). Or you could sign a message from an address you own now, and in the future use that same address to confirm your identity. Those are the best ways to ensure you avoid identity theft especially when you have a compromised account.

What is your point anyway?

I can provide a half dozen payments from two weeks past, no problem.

How will it prove me right or wrong, I don't understand.

The negotiation and the payment were performed outside btctalk.org

I would rather keep this confidential, some people already know too much.

you could just pm me and I would confirm it on the post if it was legit or not.

A total surprise, imagine someone trying to sell your business without your consent, the scammer even replied to a few PMs.



If the "Scammer" had been sending and receiving PMs, then you should of received email notifications from the forum telling you have received a PM, surely you could of not missed that.

I switched those off..

Well then, I'm sure he can still show us some sort of proof of payment.

If so, can we see any proof of payment.

If we see any evidence we can see if this was a legit story or not.

Thank you for all support and advice you have given.

Those who think it’s a “BS story” – oh well, may nothing of the kind ever happen to you, it has been a most unpleasant experience.

Well, it does not feel funny at all to me - I am positive that I have made my forum password known to no one.

I guess I should write another post so that people are more careful about security issues.
Yeah sure do that.. and look into your PC for keylogger or similar malware pls, it is highly possible that you computer running a program in background .!
 

Or maybe all the hate overwhelmed him and caused him to create some BS story about how he didn't post this.
hmm possible..! but if that is the case he should have deleted the posts..! or came up with  a much better story..! I'll give him a benefit of doubt..! I'll say that because I know how it feels when it happens to you Tongue
