if something seems far too good to be true then it more than likely is.
Yep, common sense. Unfortunately, common sense is not so common.
Before stumbling upon your thread, i already posted in his scamthread warning others not to fall for his trap... But he used his shills to fill the complete first page before i discovered him, so his first page is still filled with newbie (shill) vouches.
Tagging seems like a sensible idear.
Yea, I just saw that you wrote warning message, hopefully no one will fall for this, but knowing how many newbies comes every day, I wouldn't be surprised if someone falls for this.
Digging a bit more, and it seems like this wasn't his first attempt at this scheme. Last month
he did the same thing, and after getting tagged by @malevolent two weeks ago, he probably made new account and continued with his business. I don't know if it's true or not, but someone accused him of scamming 0.3 BTC in the old thread. No wonder scammers don't give up easily and usually come back if schemes like this still work.
Scam alert:
HE BLOCKED ME ON TELEGRAM.
My account was disabled after I sent 0.3 btc.
I wonder why mods allowed this up for long.
