Based on other member's opinions I have tagged then scammer and create a flag type-1 since I believe that dealing with this user is quite risky. Just for information, that user just woke up and reset the password recently. So I can say it was a pure scam attempt.
Glad to see you put up the flag and tagged them. In the future don't hesitate to at least tag them neutral, and/or post in the tread. Just be comfortable in your assessment of a situation and move on, if you get out of line I'm sure someone will find the time to tell you about it... maybe not people tend to avoid drama and/or telling folks they are wrong here  Tongue

You can also easily and comfortable post a red tag given the situation looks shady af, the if they discuss it with you and can disprove your assessment remove the tag. It won't come to that 90% of the time.

Definitely a scam attempt, in my opinion it sounds similar a fake giveaway on twitter which happened a few couples days ago "send xx amount BTC and you will get xx amount BTC".

Good to see that moderators removed the post made by likely scammers. Most likely they removed it due to advertisements on the reply. At least no one will fall in that scam by this scammer.

This looks like one of those popular Telegram scams where they send you a message in which he is "thanking Mr John Doe for huge profit and if you listen to  him you might earn fortune too and solve all your financial problems."


User tagged, and I'll gladly support flag if OP makes one!

it deserves tagging. some newbies trying to ask loan without collateral are tagged by DTs this is very much a lot like it. its more than likely that once he got the btc he will just vanish like the newbie who asked for loan.

nothing whatsoever he leaves in that post but an email that doesn't lead you to anything. not even a name of him. all the more to suspect.

Tagged him.

Do you think that this is a scam attempt?
I say yes this is a scam attempt in my opinion because I have also been offered like this in Telegram via PM someone sent a message to me and was told to make a deposit then this will get a secret code in their exchange for me it's funny Grin

I hope beginners stay away from offers and there is no good effort in this matter.

Almost definitely a scam attempt. Hopefully the fact he’s using a throw away account puts people off & nobody is stupid enough to fall for it.

What happened: Newbie rying to scam by offering trading service on behalf of traders.

Here is the quote:

Hi!
Send an email to:
[email protected]
Ask him to help you.
He offers three plans to you:
1) Pay him 0.1 btc and get his secret trading key for gaining %5 to %10 daily interest of your trading activity.
or
2) Pay him 0.01 btc and let him trade for you. So, you will earn %5 to %10 weekly profit.
or
3) Pay him 0.001 btc and let him trade for you. So, you will earn %5 t0 %1o monthly profit.
Good Luck!

Although I am not tagging this user now, but I think we should stay away from this user and from such as service. I heard before, a guy skips with traders' funds those have been given to him for trade on behalf of traders.  

Do you think that this is a scam attempt?
