I always just in case it is legit. Even though I know how stupid it is. I knew it was going to end up like this. As soon as I saw the link I was like....not again. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same guy as last time. I would search the old thread which was so successful last time. I can't remember the name or the person who did it. I don't know if it got deleted either. Otherwise I would expect to see legitnick posted on there claiming he had received his Bitcoin.
This isn't the last time this is going to happen either. It's going to happened again and again. People will still fall for it. I have not fell for this or the last one. It's just stupid. You don't know the person. The person claimed no links would be involved and the Bitcoin would just be sent to you're address. Yet, he went against his word. That raises another flag. I know when people look at the message and think "OMG" and want to rush to receive their Bitcoins and that's when most people don't think about it just do it. Then say later how did I fall for that. Well, I hope in future people will not fall for this.

I'm ashamed to say I fell for it. I thought it was a wallet file and accidentally clicked on it while I was trying to import the keys. I deleted the file and scanned my computer for problems. I thought I removed the problem and went to bed. I woke up about twenty minutes ago and saw my mouse moving by itself. Someone had messed with my firewall settings, opened up bitcoin-qt, and had just downloaded a file called _DVSoy.exe from plasmon.ghost.ru.

Funny because if you click the quote, it brings you to a random thread - he probably grabbed a random ID to make it seem legit. That instantly rings warning bells, why can't people click a quote >_>
I received this PM too.

Incredible how successful this was.
I remember the good old days when the average Internet age of the Bitcoin troop was well over one year. Seems you people just finally got cable installed last week?

Just did the system recovery to earlier state, hopefully it will help. I have Kaspersky installed and it didn't warn me at all 
For future reference, I recommend Avast as an antivirus scanner. It caught what he was trying to pass on, though I feel dumb for falling for it, at least my antivirus scanner protected me from it. It's an excellent antivirus scanner, and it's free.
I use Avast but before that Avira Antivir
And that scares the cra!!p out of you
Normal surfing then Bleep
Then another virus
Bleep Bleep Bleep on full speakers lol
(But its good software too and free)
Nod32 for Overkill

Banned and gave feedback to tank his trust.
In b4 he got 'hacked'.
Duh, he got phished by whoever runs the script.In b4 he got 'hacked'.
nah, he's not banned. i just got a pm from him as well. i think he has been hacked though. why would an account with 536 activity start randomly scamming people.
Yes he's banned, did it myself. Sent pms are still going to be there, that's why the feedback.
He coulda been compromised, sure is convenient timing though.
good point. maybe it was a really thought out scam attempt. gain everyones trust by offering a giveaway, then pm everyone declaring them a winner and steal as many wallets and btc as possible.
I think this is the result of allowing "account trading". Prove me wrong..
That is true, in the last 3 days, 4 users tried to scam me via private message.I think they are sold accounts.
I cant believe someone fell for that
this times like, 5 billion. people these days

He was hacked with the last wave.
If his account was hacked, he would have the time to register and warn everyone about it before raffle ends. If he got hacked while raffle went on, that would be too much to believe. Also view his recent forum activity.

Wonder if that is where legitnick lives? If it is then he really is the scammer. Otherwise might just be his account was hacked.
Think I'm safe. There was still a java process running, but I killed it. When I went to Gox before that, I apparently had a stored cookie login so I didn't have to type in a password first time I went. I've since made it so I need Google Auth to also log in to Gox, not just for withdrawals.
Not that it matters, since that password isn't used anywhere else and there's no funds in there since I quit using Gox a while ago.
