Yep, definitely watch out - if they request a loan or anything don't trust them AT ALL.
I Dunno about that tradefortress guy he popped up right after iamtheone disappeared.

Here's another: Vernon715
This soon to be scammer has made almost 300 useless posts in five days, necroing all over the forum. Deserves a ban just for that.

me too
Thanks. I'm new but get confused. I do have a good rep at bitcointrading.com (jazzhandzer over there)
It's always good if you can prove that somehow. Maybe register a gpg signature and publish a signed certificate there or something like that.
Seriously? What did I do? This topic is about post-count pumpers and I've done nothing of the sort. I've never been accused of being a scammer before. It feels bad.
Yeah, sorry heart_mons. I think I may have jumped the gun about you. You're definitely not a PCP'er, but your loan request timing just set off some alarms for me. I'll edit my post out.

Useless post spam now thanks to Butterfly Labs, they have contest rules that encourage putting their signature in and spamming the forum. Added josephliton, but I could pretty much add everyone that is on their contest page.

Check user "hobo66." whose name is very similar to another user "Hobo66". Post count pumping the fuck out of the Count to 21M thread. Now (surprise surprise!) he's requesting a loan: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/30-btc-loan-for-2-weeks-122082

I thought I'd make a thread to keep track of members dumping spam posts as I come across them - they post useless and obvious "me too" one liners all over the forum immediately after joining or after a period of inactivity, solely to pump up their post count, to increase the perception of reputation or participation on the forum. Scams likely to come. If you're not a scammer, this is your "you're not adding anything useful" warning.

Guys, its your own responsibility to check thte history of a user you dealing with.
Postcount is no indication for a users trust, check the user posts and what they wrote, i personally explicit look for the first posts of a user and the last posts.
And beside that,my fav quote (little controverse, i know..): "past results are no indication for future performance"
