I banned both users and reverted their vandalism.

We also lost the "Bitcoin mixing" page. This was entirely created by one of the scammers, and notably appears to have been lifted from https://static.coinpaprika.com/storage/cdn/whitepapers/123.pdf

Since the author of the PDF is not anything remotely resembling the scam-posters, it seems reasonably certain the copy was not authorised, and is therefore copyright infringement.

It came to my attention via this thread in which a newbie fell for a fake Helix Light page, that the Helix Light page on the wiki has been edited by scammers who are adding links to fake sites.

The two scammers in question are Anonymity and NellieMarshal29.

The page should be returned to the last "legit" edit - https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Helix_light&oldid=64995 - and the two scammers in questions banned. It would also be worth reviewing the contributions of NellieMarshal29 as they have inserted their fake Helix light link in to a number of other pages.
