Topic: Scam form old member of bitcointalk (Date Registered:April 28, 2014) (Read 229 times)

Buddy, that's what happens when you move conversation from bitcointalk PM to Telegram and then share suspicious files, while talking nonsense.

First of all, it doesn't make much sense to me that someone who is in crypto mining since 2014 (according to your post history, but I think that account may have changed hands sometimes between 2014-2018) sends unsolicited PMs to other people, asking some basic questions. 2nd, just 6 months ago you were asking others how to protect your crypto wallet, and now suddenly you are an ex Intel computer expert that sold "secure system for storing bitcoin" to Nigerian government for $40k. Also, your story how Ledger and Trezor are not safe as any system administrator can easily hack them is another bs.

Contact me if you don't believe me
Anyone can write to me in private messages
But no need to talk dirty about me and spoil my reputation,based on what this man tells you

Don't worry
We'll figure it out

Yes,i will

If you look at it,thats how it used to be earned merit
You need to write good articles and answer questions usefully
Which i did!
In all languages and talked to everyone

Indeed. I'm trying to help him, he is trying to hack me. haha. But his script is kind of stupid.

This is the "benefit" of doing this kind of things privately, on telegram, instead of publicly, on the forum.
If done publicly, others could have been seeing the links and the story and tell you from start that it all stinks.

PS. Scammers were around in 2014 too. Even more, since then the account could have easily change hands too (hack, selling, ...); tagging it now.

the link he sent is a fake miner website, to track my hardware model, OS\network envirment

thank you. I've edit post and correct order. of screenshot.

What's the background story here anyways, and why did this person contact you?
First there is talk about removing spyware from computers. After that, there is a discussion about mining. And lastly, the alleged scammer was supposed to set up some "ultra-safe" storage system for your crypto holdings.  

Don't trust random people on the internet for no apparent reason. Did you run any of the files the person sent you or did you just scan them for malware?
I think it's safe to assume that your device is compromised and you should think about formatting your OS and moving whatever coins you have from the device that received the infected files.

Can you explain what the hell happened to you without us having to click on every link? A summary would be nice, apart from the alleged evidence.


You can't post images because you are a newbie, consider buying a copper membership if you are very interested, although as you have merits, if you continue writing in the forum you will rank up soon.

Well, explain yourself better because I see you are talking about a potential scam and not someone who has already scammed you for a certain amount.

You have to be at least Jr Member rank in order for your images to be shown. I can help with that by quoting those, so people can see the evidence but you should have set them in the chronological order. And yes, Poker Player  is right, you should write what exactly happen here instead posting bunch of screenshots and letting people figure it out by themselves.

I don't know why my images can not be shown directlly

Hank, [Oct 30, 2022 at 22:27:00]:

Thomas, [Oct 30, 2022 at 22:34:40]:
Its hard for me to say this,but i lost my speech after a parachute jump
I developed an aphasia
In other words,i can listen,but I cant speak or i can speak in a way that makes me feel ashamed of my speech
My daughter helps me a lot
Im sorry😔

Thomas, [Oct 30, 2022 at 22:52:43]:
I have more questions
What kind of miners are you using?
What kind of wallet do you prefer for rewards?


Hank, [Oct 30, 2022 at 22:56:36]:
for wallet, ledger or trezor is fine

Thomas, [Oct 30, 2022 at 23:01:37]:
I dont recommend these wallets to anyone
Its possible to break into their source code,which i recently discovered

Well,I'll tell you
I m a former employee of intel,server and application security
Lets keep it simple,these wallets have a chip inside
With the special equipment that any system administrator has,it can be hacked
And i personally know of several such cases

Thomas, [Nov 2, 2022 at 00:28:15]:
Tell me,and you take the reward for mining immediately to the purse Trezor?

Hank, [Nov 2, 2022 at 01:58:03]:
to the mining pool at first

Thomas, [Nov 3, 2022 at 01:26:30]:

Thanks for ur help,my friend
In return,i want to help you too
I want to set you up a totally secure system for storing bitcoin
Two years ago,the nigerian government paid me $40k for this
What do you say?

Thomas, [Nov 3, 2022 at 02:23:48]:
i ll ask you a series of questions
1)Is there a separate laptop?
If not,we will set up the system from scratch as a second system on the computer
The main thing is that it's windows
there's a huge amount of privacy settings and it's not as closed as Apple's,for example
2) We will set up a wallet Electrum
You will not need to download 300Gb of entire blockchain
Will it be a problem?
3) Do you use proxy?
4) Do you use antivirus?
5)Does anyone know your seed phrase or private key except you?

6)What time is convenient for you to give it your attention?
Write the date and time
