Some time ago, there was a thread promoting the trading site XX.BIT. Allegedly, if I followed the OP's link, all I had to do was entering my wallet address to receive a whole 0.01 BTC. Although convinced I'd never receive the Bitcent, I figured why the hell not, got a disposable email address and gave it a try. After desperately trying to cross the language barrier for a couple of minutes, I manage to request the Bitcent. Obviously, I never received anything.
When I returned to the forum thread to post an answer, it was already gone. Today, I found a post by user robert5 advertising the same site in his signature. I assume this is the same user, although I don't remember if it was him who posted the thread.
Everything else about this user is a little shady as well:
May 31: Lost his CC and requests 2 BTC loan in newbie jail. (link)
June 25: Got his lost CC back. (link)
June 27: Earned 2 BTC by investing in Bitcoin and decided to raffle one of them by chosing a "Radom" number. (link)
