User banned confirmed. Second user lately(seen that URL before) that used the same phishing link via PM.
Report them on sight and be sure to hover over any links before clicking them(working on something to verify forum URLs).


Yeah of course, now it has come the moment to lock this thread.



Thanks !

Good to hear that this one scammer has been banned, but it doesn't look like links from the fake Bitcointalk are being blocked yet. I agree with whywefight; this site should be added to the list of links that are automatically removed by the forum when they're posted.

It was reported some days before here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/automatically-exchange-words-on-the-forum-1390905 but maybe the staff didn't noticed it.
It's around since 2014, maybe even longer (reference).
The "report" you mention is Seb's suggestion about adding it to the [suspicious link removed] filter list, which I support.
You're right though, theymos probably didn't see that one yet.
Well i haven't seen in 2014 it, but can theymos make something when 10 or more DT members report or vote to remove a link to be automatically approved, this would be perfect.

Already done, I wanted to warn the other users.
Appreciate the effort. There are already some similar threads here and in other sections:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/someone-tried-to-change-my-password-1394906
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/somone-is-trying-to-hacxk-my-account-1393737

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/beaware-ralobotcom-is-a-scammer-trying-to-steal-my-account-password-1389494
That bitcointaIk.org site has been around for some time, but seems to be getting more active lately.

!!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!!
Hi redsn0w

I replied to your thread :

http://bitcointaIk.org/index.php?topic=1325758.0


Can you ban this stupid user ? From the seclog page I can see :



 - March 10, 2016, 08:44:16 PM - Benito Finito - password reset via email

so I don't know if it is an hacked account or if it is the real owner.


Don't click the site and most important don't login, it's a phishing page ( that will steal your access data).
