This is one that I am not wrong about.
Scammers profile link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/thebitcoinquizcom-349239I had originally left a neutral on thebitcoinquiz.com saying that he is a potential alt of
puzzel.me, because I thought I remembered reading a post somewhere in lending saying that the account was sold.
Earlier today I had received a PM from him asking me to remove the neutral, and him claiming that he purchased puzzel.me in November/December of 2014. However this did not fit the timeline of my rating against him:
Potential alt of puzzel.me

I remember some time back that someone had claimed they sold this account (unable to find now due to forum search disabled and google search comes back with too many results). Additionally this user is receiving payment for their signature campaign to another address that is not connected to puzzel.me
The two addresses are connected via txid 34cc6c87ece57db5cc87a8c2412ced34dcbe61f852d256cb6d4b10bc3b0e19be
After I explained to him that his claim did not fit the timeline, I told him that I would need some evidence of the purchase of puzzel.me for me to remove the neutral, he told me that he deleted his old PM's and did not have it. I later explained that I only gave him a neutral because I thought his account was sold and it would be possible that he is no longer puzzel.me. He later claimed that he personally created the account and it is not a sold account and that he could sign a message proving as much.
I eventually ask him to sign a message from 12Xbr6rM6NiVGhXuf14r2jAz1royY3vAyf which he was quoted as posting
here (his original post has since been edited). He replied saying that he is on his phone and cannot access his bc.i web wallet to sign a message, but could send a small amount to an address of my choice. I tell him to send a small amount to 1Ct3qb4nE3THsmHmSirP4XQqf8qn5Xf2Ad (my tipping address), which he did via txid 5b865c95e8a6a3ed64b599e1195d4a9928241f8f9ace4636410820d3aa67d71d (please view via blockchain.info - there is a public note from him)
The address 12Xbr6rM6NiVGhXuf14r2jAz1royY3vAyf also signed txid 19bf7ad467ecbc915aa1040507d4aad206097160ede048def052384f8a39c96b which was also signed by 1Km9U8gY4ZNjkAoLPiicQcw33JKL9yK4wL
The address 1Km9U8gY4ZNjkAoLPiicQcw33JKL9yK4wL also signed txid 34cc6c87ece57db5cc87a8c2412ced34dcbe61f852d256cb6d4b10bc3b0e19be which was also signed by 1BwEvWwjBTfJBBQBKPiq5i9GdS7ZxsRCqo
The address 1BwEvWwjBTfJBBQBKPiq5i9GdS7ZxsRCqo was posted
here by puzzel.me. In theory the fact that thebitcoinquiz.com claimed to purchase puzzel.me in November would point to his innocence, however this is not the case.
stellar69 is tagged as being a probable alt of puzzel.me by BadBear (in mid December). This account asked for a loan on
this post to be funded to 1DDpkieFmJuRAskNYzDAdDfjhFqRHAmeNk which also signed the above transaction. Not only that, but since he offered collateral, he got the loan and repaid it via txid a54650f6ce38ddd5b46606fa94d4ee0f50bfd9ec025b0dc3d259b7a2baafbd5c which he posted
here and had inputs from 1DDpkieFmJuRAskNYzDAdDfjhFqRHAmeNk

this which was a contest entitled "The Bitcoin Quiz! Win Upto 1BTC! From 5th August to 11th August "
