Yes, exactly... but I wonder how he gave money to an alt Vod account which does not have the 'boob licking' pic !!!

And both the two fake accounts have "Brand new" and "Activity: 0" below their names lol. Wink

Some more copy accounts:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/bitmain-338576 with ref: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7089075 (BITMAIN..)

and https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/cryptx-337078 with ref: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7085715 (cryptx`) and others mentioned there.

How would you report a account? there is no report profile/user buttons.

You could post a link to the fake profile here.

Hello, please block member lightningasic` , notice the ` , he is trying to scam forum members pretending he is me.

Thank you

Looks like it has become a new trend to scam. I can remember, a few days ago, Vod and another guy (forgot his name) won something. But 2 new accounts emerged mimicking Vod & that guy with an added ` and thereby scammed the contest owner through PM.

Guess you are talking about this case. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6633639

TL;DR: bitcoinwonders010 got scammed, got the money back with the help of Vod and austin, and got scammed again...

Can we report this type of accounts too or only the person who is getting mimicked can only do that ?

Yes, please do so.

Done, but next time have them report the pm using the report button at the lower left right, it will get handled quicker that way.
