Topic: How To Find A Connected Account (Bounty Cheaters) (Read 424 times)

Excellent information.But in our case you just connect us with an address from an exchange where we sold our same token we received as bounty.How you filter innocent members from cheaters because on this forum members do transaction of bounty tokens they received.I think you still need to develop some way which help you to filter innocent members from cheaters.Best of luck

As long as you keep relying on screenshots (and don't archive your results) the scammers will continue to scam.


But thanks for the free plug anyway. 

I have reported only spamers til now but I accidentally found some accounts using a same wallet address, so in searching of spam and plagiarism it's good to search for such abuse too, I'm wasting time anyway so better to be more effective.

I addition on how to find connected accounts. Here is an additional trick.

First, go to the posts history of the target user and look for any bounty application posts like this for example. (I will use this user as an example as this user attempted to impersonate theyoungmillionaire).

In this trick, we will use other informations like "Telegram usernames, Twitter links or username and facebook links or username". Now get the username of the Telegram and paste it in the search textbox and hit "Search".

Then here's the result.

As we can see there are four different users who used the same Telegram username we searched and these are the users thienngabh3, tacanban, JongJun Lee and including theyoungmillionaire007. But first we must confirm that those Telegram Username were originally posted and not quoted by these users by checking the links of posts from the results or else we might end up accusing wrong users.
Just like @JongJun Lee in the blue box, this user were included in the results but he/she just quoted @theyoungmillionaire007's posts so it means he/she is not connected with these accounts.

Example :
users connected to theyoungmillionaire007

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.42384346

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.41729081

Not connected but included in the results.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.41328157

So that's how it works, same procedure with the twitter and facebook links/username.

1. Get the target's social media username or link.
2. Search.
3. Check results.
4. Compile all connected accounts.
5. Done.

Hope it helps.

Ethereum transaction isn't proof someone is alt account.
Sending tokens to one accumulating address is in 99.99% situations solid proof, but you have to be careful because tokens might end up in decentralized exchange and they use one wallet for many accounts.
Centralized exchange and casinos use separate addresses for different accounts, although some sites are rotating ethereum addy's and giving the same address to different accounts, but not at the same time(I saw this only one time). As casino(most of them?  ) doesn't accept ERC tokens, it is possible that connection made by ethereum transaction will give false positive result. And, also, there are various deals between people, giveaways etc...

There are many ways, look for social media accounts, bitcoin addresses, addresses which are part of the same wallet, referral links in signatures....

That is rather a bit complicated way of doing it. Instead, you can just install a duplicate entries detector Add-on for the spreadsheet. There are free and paid versions available. As finding duplicates would be a one time job, I'm sure the free versions would suffice. It also highlights the duplicates and such.

I was looking for such guide as I'm new in reporting connected accounts, that's interesting.
Here's my trick to find connected alt accounts in the bountie spreadsheets.

Follow those steps :
1. Make a copy of the spreadsheet so you edit it and  change the sizes of the columns.
2. Select the column with the Eth addresses and right-click
3. Select Conditional formating
4. Go to "Format cell if" and choose the "Custom formula" from the drop-down menu.
5: the formula is :
Where X is the column with the Eth addresses.
6. Then you select the formating of the dublicates. Like bold and highlight with yellow for example.
7. Click Done.
8. Then right click on the column with Eth addresses and arrange them by name.

That's it
Source : YouTube but the formula in the video is wrong, use mine.

I doubt it. Bounty whores have an IQ of -10 and they lack the basic skills to comprehend things. All they're good at is copying stuff from Source-1 and pasting it to Source-2.

OP, instead of using forum's search option, you can simply google that address with the keywords "bitcointalk"/"bounty"/""inurl: bitcointalk This would save you some time.

Cheaters will learn these things and they will come up with new trick. I am sure they already moved in new direction.

It's enough to find on etherscan and match with spreadsheet. If there is transaction on multiple token that means they have connected. If they trade token or buy sale each other ther should be conversation history in order to remove red tag.

In addition to this, Not all Addresses are posted here in the forum. But, you can still know if these addresses are connected to a certain person or even owned by a single person.

For example: the account mentioned in this thread

Transactions made in that address is also the same with his alts. He must have a two or more wallets and to prevent being caught, the owner is just making these addresses as a cover for his crimes.




(This Image was connected to his other account (selenophile))



As you can see Cash Out Transactions was transferred into a 1 Wallet address just to prevent being caught.
Another Thing: The Owner have already removed some addresses in his other alt (selenophile).

Edited: Use this link as referrence to the ETH address of selenophile.
https://etherscan.io/txs?a=0x1622bF8e3C5328c9ff925F7857E889dc7d104a01

And This Address that is supposed to be one of his main wallets already have many transactions.

Note: The Owner of this is already registered a year ago.

Welcome to my new thread.

The purpose of opening this thread is to remove the fraud from the forum. Too Many people doing Bounty cheats through multiple accounts. Many members do not know how to find multiple accounts. Many people would like to do this job to identify the bounty cheaters. But everyone does not know how to identify the correct proofs. So today's thread is for them.

First Step: Identify who you suspect.
Example: Your Suspect Is > sunno330 . Find a reply of Etherium address that posted by Mr/Mrs sunno330.  It seems suspicious to me that I will find out whether he has used the connected account through this address


Step Two : Search the marked address on https://etherscan.io/


Find out if the token has been sent from multiple accounts at the same address. Suppose we found a transaction that seems suspicious.


Third Step: We can see two addresses found in the transaction. Find the address in this box


(All the info searched in this box are bitcointalk forum).

Step Four: If you see that the addresses are posted from different accounts then they are a person and they have cheated bounty
Take screenshots of Etherium/Other addresses they post. You may Use https://archive.is/

Step Five:  After collecting all the information, use the submission form submission form And Post Known Alts of any-one - A User Generated List ^{Mk III} thread

I hope newcomers Will find Bounty Cheaters In Right way.
Happy Forum. Keep Safe from cheaters. and Crypto Forever.
