Reporting the post is enough at this point. Flagging the user for this is not necessary. I can see the threads have not been deleted yet so I suggest everyone to report the same ASAP and those who can see older reports can see if they got marked as "GOOD" or "BAD".

Possible the account could have been hacked in which case the red tag and the flags become overkill. >>

Code:

This user recently woke up from a long period of inactivity.

It's not an overkill. That's pretty much the standard procedure for anyone who posts scam websites or links here whether hacked or not.

Besides you can't accurately gauge that an account that just woke up minus even any password or email change was hacked unless the owner complains about it in meta and attempts to recover it. The Red tags and flags are meant to suggest that the person behind the account cannot be trusted.

However I am not suggesting removing them right away but if the posts get deleted then of course they should be removed. Just my two sats.

So that they continue posting ANNs containing phishing links/scam links with no warnings to guests and newbies afterwards?

Regardless. I think a newbie or guest flag can be quite helpful in warning newbies/guests looking at the ANN. So I created on against the scammer's profile.

Thank you for fighting scammers and I support this FLAG.

I've reported it too but that's hope and there's nothing wrong with trying to report something bad on this forum, especially with the phishing site they spread under the name 1inch.

But don't know if this is indeed a hacked account or not, if it's wrong, it must receive a red tag penalty.

Also this thread would suit better in "Meta".

Note: I hope the moderators to delete thread bounty immediately so that no one becomes a victim and this forum is clean from the spread of phishing sites

Do mods delete such posts too when reported? I always knew that scam is not moderated in the forum.

What happened: Tobbbrow has spread a phishing site in the bounty thread under the pretext of airdop from 1inch and Polygon Matic

Website:

Code:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Claim-1INCH-token
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WaultFinance

Bounty thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.57267101 => archived
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.57249061 => archived
Profile BTT: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/tobbbrow-2753948

Twitter: https://twitter.com/Polygon_Support

This Twitter name has done a lot of promotion of the same phishing site so stay away from twitter and its very clear this is fake.

Note: I hope the moderators to delete thread bounty immediately so that no one becomes a victim and this forum is clean from the spread of phishing sites.
