I hope the mods have the time to take care of all that, it's big work sometimes... I'm helping anytime I can by reporting, keep it up, mods Smiley

We're on it. And appreciate the help.

It seems we have been having a big surge of spammers in the last few hours. I hope the mods have the time to take care of all that, it's big work sometimes... I'm helping anytime I can by reporting, keep it up, mods Smiley

Seems he's regained control of his account as he's edited all the posts:

Apologies for anyone who clicked the link here. Please delete this thread.
He probably saw the negative trust he got as well as this thread. It seems that his password was only changed once recently which would really not explain very much.

Nuke from orbit just to be sure.

Only newbies can be nuked. Think this is why we need more active Globals though as well.

It looks like the referral number is always the same across different sites, so I think the various sites are all the same.

Perhaps. Considering that I couldn't find any references on Google to the site this hacked account and the last one were advertising - though I did find one with the same domain but an .eu TLD, so perhaps this site tries to rip-off the trustworthiness of that - I have a feeling that there is no actual referring going on at all, and that this is indeed simply an attempt to scam people.

His name is EmpoEX bit the ref links he's spamming are for a cloud mining. Likely a hacked account I think. Someone was doing the exact same earlier but for different site I think. Handled what ones I could anyway.
Thanks. I swear I thought that I saw one of the domains he was advertising to match his forum handle.

Yeah. I reported all the posts of the previous guy who seemed to be hacked, and this one (this one about an hour ago I think). There's a looot, I think I've reported at least 50 of these hacked account spambot posts in total now. It's crazy.

Yep its probably some cloud mining ponzi but he actually posted 2 different websites, its kind of weird that he decided to do this now, maybe his account was sold or hacked?

Spammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/empoex-350925

This person has made 30 posts (including some new threads) with his referral link today

Upon closer inspection of the referral links he is posting the domain of the referral link matches his handle which makes be believe that he owns the site. A quick glance of the site he is advertising, makes me believe this is some kind of cloud mining ponzi scam site.

edit: it appears he was trying to spread malware, and there have been other cases of this happening. The most recent example is Magic Of Nigeria

edit: it appears the most recent example is now Marcy https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/marcy-405552
