Isn't this the reason the Verify Secret exists in the first place? I mainly use it for OTR, but it would work with any messaging platform.
Or my previous suggestion of PGP if you're serious about it.

Someone trying to SE you into giving them BTC. Simple fact....TRUST NO ONE and then you'll be fine. Consider that everyone here is out to get you. Some for money and some for the lulz.


I suspect that to be a real statistic but over a period of 5-7 years. We have a serial scammer that has year after year targeted the community. You think we have a lot of scammers here but most scams are small-time under $50 but one guy I'm aware of does it like a pro and has been earning thousands a year from it. He brags all the time.

It's not hard to understand that we have these types of people in the world. Consider criminals who have killed dozens of people with almost no reason. This serial scammer has deep mental issues and won't be stopped by decency or guilt. He will need to be caught, arrested, and put into a cell forever. Or maybe never caught, who can know these things? But we should not be surprising that someone does this.


That's not the same guy. Greece guy has more obvious pattern. The guy I'm talking about works long-term. Most likely he has a major account now that he's building up to do a $xx,xxx exit scam. Usually does that about once a year. I think he finds it more enjoyable than making $50-$100 a few times a week. Plus my guess is that he's a psychopath that enjoys building up trust then destroying it. He will lie to you at every turn.

In that case do you think Honor Et vertias (whatever) is still lying around, and possibly he could be conducting this, as you said before that you believe he has many accounts etc, and wouldn't be hard to do another exit scam.

Because if you're selling your account to someone or even giving it away then you're likely allowing it to be used to scam members. I think that makes you implicit in the scam. At the very least it's unscrupulous.

Say someone offers you $50 for your Ub3r account. You sell it. You gotta know that the account will then be used to scam others in the community. That's just wrong. In my view, you're just as much responsible for the scam as the scammer.

Solid point. I never thought of it that way. I completely agree

The only community alert that I see here is
"people scam on HF, some do it a lot more and take it a lot more seriously (mentally)"

Everything else in the op was all over the place; thread should be closed.
