Topic: I Think I've Found An Account Being Sold (Read 1545 times)

That is actually not true. Just because he bought an account doesn't mean that he is dishonest. He might just want to join a signature campaign and earn some extra money.

Because #1, I'm not 100% certain of the account and #2, If I were to do so, it could hinder the sale, and anyone who wouldn't be willing to clear its reputation wouldn't think of purchasing it.  Best to sit back and watch the account(s) I think it could be and see what happens.

Don't give any information that might potentially be useful or anything like that

Paste the user name of the account being sold!
Why paste all that here if you are not going to paste username

So why dont make a thread about your thoughts as your views have nothing to do with what is being discussed here

Did you even read my post? I posted because I really like Bitcoin talk, and I've learnt a lot from members. Sig selling is, at best, an attempt to defraud a campaign manager, and during the course of this, the purchaser makes a multitude of low value posts keeping alive redundant threads. That was the point of my post, and I believe it to be apposite.

Did you even read the thread? the account is highly ranked and it has positive trust, we are having a discussion about it because it can be used to scam

I've backed off posting here because the discussion board seems to have been destroyed. It is full of the same old threads covering the same old topics with several hundred replies. It isn't worth opening them unless you want to spam your signature. But I guess this is what happens when you allow memberships to be sold. I guess many people are tempted to sell up if you can't get a decent discussion going.

btw - I have never considered selling my signature on any forum of which I have been a member.

Why dont you read sometimes?
The account being sold has positive trust and it can be used to scam

why you guys keep spamming and making new topics for account sale
everyone know account selling is allowed

So what? i know that the identity of the account is already know and i intend to get the trust rating removed when i nuy, i told him to tell me how much i would have to pay if the rating was neutral

Can you tell us what price he is asking to sold this account ?
The price demand may also help us determine the credibility of the account.

....don't ruin my thing here, man!!   

Just kidding...I'll just keep an eye on my "final four" for a bit and see how things turn out

It is possible to register on the Bitmixer signature campaign without making a post on the Bitcoin signature campaign thread. That might be a slight flaw in your reasoning. 

Well yes you are right but for a fact, I have seen so many people buying and selling accounts here for a way of earning, and with my stay here in the forum, I also encountered people who are actually making a living out of signature campaign so I have to think o not only the negativity on why accounts are being sold around but also see the reason wh they are doing these. It's actually common on my local subforum here that you can see them talking about these things.


I am not saying that buying and selling accounts for signature campaigning purpose is honest, okay? I get it. You are not in favor of this actions but I was only being logical into thinking that they may have a reason why they are doing such. It may be not in your favor but maybe it is to them. I don't see any harm if the account will be simply used in earning some coins, the guy behind the account must have a great need. As I have seen I know people from my local people who are buying high ranked accounts mainly for a better rte on signature campaigns. It may be frowned upon by some users but give them a break, as for me I will only quetion these people if they actually did something wrong that is against the forum rules. My point is why won't you guys try to assume a scenario without evwn thinking of all the possibilities.

Maybe you should wait till password is changed and what kind of posts is created by the hero account, if he posts something like wanted to escrow or probably asked for a tremendous amount of loan then maybe you can conclude to take action for this account to be tagged. Just to be fair to this buyer after all buying accounts isn't illegal. is it?

You're wasting your time. They just don't understand. To them, it's just not possible.

Accounts are sold only for Sig campaigns! Nothing happens "behind closed doors", nope nothing at all. It's not like bought accounts have been used to scam many times before. Oh, wait...

In your example he buys an account to 'earn a spot on bitmixer' which, according to you sounds perfectly reasonable, yes?

Except for the fact that every single post he subsequently makes, which will bear more weight because he is a Hero member, will sway users into both believing that the content of the post is likely to be the work of somebody who is greatly experienced within the cryptosphere AND that the signature advert is, therefore, chosen to be worn by the long-standing member of experience because he is wise enough to know it to be a legitimate and trustworthy service. Fact is the person behind that account could be a no-mark idiot who has no fucking clue what he's doing and ends up leading a whole bunch of newbie-lemmings over a cliff, figuratively-speaking.

Which part of that setup sounds honest?

Purchasing and using an account that you didn't grow yourself is, in fact, deceiving those running the campaign. 

Also, it appears you haven't read this thread at all.  The account hasn't been sold  yet, and its trust is already positive.

Please take the time to actually read a thread before shit posting all over it to spam your sig link.

I don't quite understand why you always think of someone negatively in that way.  Do you have trust issues or something?
The guy may have bought the account for signature campaigning itself. It's hard to get a spot on bitmixer and they currently have one of the best price compared to other campaign so I wouldn't think deceiving others is the reason why the buyer bought the account but just to earn a spot on bitmixer. It's only my opinion tho.
On the other hand, I do think that the trust feedback should be removed since the owner of the account is different now.It coul be used in a fraud just in case.
