Scamcoin/Shitcoin/Clonecoin/LameCoin's Game Plan review:

1. 2-3 months of pump and dump plan

2. fork litecoin/peerCoin/quarkcoin/bitcoin , copy-n-paste the codes or using coin generator

3. hype train

4. list on exchanges (not for adoptions but for dumping)

5. pump up the value using tiny amount and dump massive amount at the top

6. the coin became abandon coin, and those hold the coins became bagholders

7. dev(s) changed name, and the project, move on and repeat

Also, I wrote the scamcoins' signs a while ago, check out http://www.reddit.com/r/scamcoin/comments/1sa8vu/scam_scale_rating_auditing_proposal/

To see a taste of of the upcoming cesspools, check out http://coingen.io/status.html . Maybe you should screen-capture it to see what's coming out the other end. For backup purpose, here is the pastebin list for these shit/scamcoins http://pastebin.com/wTaY19Qx

Yes, there is a coin generator now. All readied for pump and dump.

December 2013 Edition http://www.reddit.com/r/scamcoin/comments/1ts6bf/a_list_of_coins_people_find_suspicious_welcome_to/

Edit: Got shills downvoted. It is still a sticky topic. Downvoting it is pointless.

I sold coins to a user on localbitcoins.com. I sold coins for ~$629 over two days for a total of about $6k USD.

The coins went into escrow on the localbitcoins.com site, then the buyer sent me the funds through CapitalOne360 P2P [person to person] payment system.

About 2 weeks later I received a call from CapitalOne360 telling me they have reversed the funds so now my account has a negative balance of over $5k. [After they stole the few hundred that remained in the account].

CapitalOne360's position is that I did not do due diligence in authenticating the buyer, completely disregarding the notion that the onus should be on them to authenticate their banking users.

At the very least, the person whose CapitalOne360's bank account was compromised should bear the responsibility for not securing their computer/phone or however the idiot was hacked.

So I am out $6k because the bank won't take responsibility and somehow the person who allowed their computer to be hacked isn't responsible either.

This is why Bitcoin is the future. This is complete and utter bullshit. Do I have a leg to stand on in court?

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know of a scam web site that is being advertised on Google (search term "bitcoin cloud mining"). The web site is www.bitcoincloudhashing.com. I chatted with someone on the site, using their Zopim chat program on the homepage, and they claimed to be Equinix, Inc (www.equinix.com). So I called Equinix, Inc (located at the same physical address that www.bitcoincloudhashing.com claims to be at on their web site, which is One Lagoon Drive, 4th Floor, Redwood City, CA 94065) at +1-650-598-6000. I got to talk finally to a sales person, and she then did some leg work to find out that this site has nothing to do with Equinix. She said the matter had been turned over to legal and that many other people had asked today about this site.

So, please do NOT do business with this company if you value your BTC! It is a SCAM!

he sent money via bank transfer and then did a fraud claim, reversing the funds, after receiving the btc.

Hi, most of you know me because of, well, I've bought and sold here for quite some time.

Anyway, I responded to this ad, and after discussions, I sent him BTC 0.339

Needless to say, since I sent the coins, he hasn't replied to my messages via Reddit or via E-Mail.

He had a long history on Reddit, and when I googled his e-mail address, it returned this BitMarket post that didn't have any negative comments.

I've waited for a week even though he promised to send the item the next morning?

It seems odd that someone would ruin their reputation for USD 200 or so, but it seems to be what has happened.

OP: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitMarket/comments/1s8tn7/scammer_vadortheminer_and_my_reflections_on_my/

I wanted to have faith in bitmarket, and I know I have myself to blame for not being more cautious, but I've been scammed.

VadorTheMiner stole my gift card and then deleted his account.

I almost didn't post this because I'm embarrassed, but perhaps some others will learn from it.

Here is my original post: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitMarket/comments/1rxebb/wts_50_itunes_gift_card_for_40_of_bitstamp_rate/

My conversation with VadorTheMiner is here: http://i.imgur.com/3FAxoC1.png

I hate that I acted in good faith, really took the time to figure out /r/bitmarket, but still got screwed (by my own faith in others).

VadorTheMinor created an account 4 days ago, made enough posts about being scammed himself to fool me (among other topics), and then asked for me to send the code to my $50 iTunes gift card (which I was selling for $40 of the current bitstamp rate). The 4 day old account should have alerted me, but I wanted to have faith in people; how stupid.

I know I should have used a moderator for escrow now. Perhaps that info should be in the sidebar?

A low dollar amount escrow service is needed. BTCrow.com seems great, but 0.25 BTC minimum is tough for transactions like these.

Thanks for reading. I'm more sad than mad about this, because I love bitcoin and reddit and this is the first time I've felt disappointed in either.

OP: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitMarket/comments/1u6lik/scammer_coins4ever_im_now_out_75_in_itunes_codes/

He messaged me saying he was interested in this listing. I agreed to go first and gave him the codes, which he claims are "already redeemed." This is false, though, because I scratched off the stuff covering the code when he requested them.

If /u/Coins4Ever decides to pay me, I will take down this post. In the meantime, treat any trade with him with extreme caution. Sorry for my crappy writing, I'm very mad right now.

Edit: In a screenshot he sent me, he left his email visible. The email address is [email protected]

(OP: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1rbv5g/there_is_no_bad_press_blatant_scam_disguised_as/)

Ponzi schemes are frequent everywhere. The last (and pretty famous one) in Brazil was TelexFree, halted by Justice by the time it had reached the size of 500 million reais ( ~200 million dollars).

The brazilian bitcoin community (bitcointalk portuguese, facebook etc) was quite surprised to realize that the newest scam on the streets was brave enough to stage a show with our dear bitcoin as the main role: www.vb12.com.br

They sell obsolete USB Erupters and promise ONE BITCOIN/month for a 800 reais (~350 usd) monthly fee! As the poor scammed person brings other peers, he gets a better bitcoin reward (wat?).

The official video tells that "their special software allows better mining efficiency as more people join the pool" and bullshit such as "bitcoin price is around 200 usd".

Many newbies are popping up on forums brought by such crazy scheme. The link of the video (portuguese): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNgo3tTZztU

TelexFree was able to penetrate even the depths of Amazon in poor small towns, make top stories on televisions and put up outdoors everywhere in this 200 million country.

Will a scammer bring more awareness about bitcoin then all legitimate efforts combined?

TL;DR: potentially huge scheme/Ponzi in Brazil taking advantage of bitcoin fame may unintentionally raise bitcoin awareness

All this info is public so does not count as doxxing or a witch hunt. This is merely connecting the dots of Labcoin. So one of the founders of Labcoin is 'Fabrizio Tatti' owner of iTec-Pro.

People discovered his sister Alessia under her skype account Delaria, chatting about beginning the Labcoin project: http://pastebin.com/1Rq8r4UW

Confirming Labcoin = Delaria : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=120219

Searches of Alessia(Delaria) point to a prior scam involvement with Alberto Armandi. They are husband and wife.

Alberto is also a notorious scammer in the bitcoin community:

http://codinginmysleep.com/lessons-learned-from-the-bdt-fiasco/

Upon searching Fabrizio Tatti's friends list on Facebook, we see a direct match, he is affiliated with both scammers: http://i.imgur.com/pWl3uCS.png

Labcoin overview listing main players: http://i.imgur.com/nE7pVnT.png

Noi, Wang and Sparmann downplay their affiliation with Labcoin, or are unreachable.

Fabrizio plays dumb: http://i.imgur.com/TolLKn6.png

Alberto and Alessia I believe are playing under the Labcoin account. Compare Labcoin's responses to Alberto response's during his bdt scam: http://imgur.com/SJ47B8d

There is also evidence that TheSwede, the PR spokesman, took a 950 bitcoin payment to front the scam. http://imgur.com/rbnK68T

At the time Labcoin went live, TheSwede was on the forums trying to buy cars and Rolexes. http://imgur.com/bCNv8Bk

TLDR: The Labcoin scam has stolen 7000 bitcoins from the community + countless others who bought through day-trading.

confirmed scam. sent them 1 bitcoin for the 10 usb block erupters and nothing. to start with things were good had a response straight away thanks for your order kind regards, all good im thinking. Then I had another question for them so I asked and got a reply the following day, your package had been picked up and was on its way, this is getting even better im thinking what a service so I then asked another question, what delivery service do you use and do you have a tracking number if possible? NO RESPONCE Huh and still no response after 5 or 6 more emails. so I thought I will be a little bit annoying and send them loads of emails just so I don't get missed in the inbox I sent around 80 of the same email and then bamm my inbox is going crazy with spam from every corner of the globe it would seem. so this also proves what I have read in other topics about this now is that there name was not bought out buy some spamming company it is them.

OP: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=415292.0

Just to let other miners know I got scammed for some bitcoin mining machines I thought I was buying from alibaba.com. I thought I was buying Avalon 2 400gh/s mining machines. I have used alibaba several times for other types of products and have had good success with it. I did not even think of the fact that I would get scammed (so naive).

They got me for $7800 ($2600 x 3 machines)

[email protected] is the email

I spoke with the company that I thought I was buying from and they told me 400gh/s machines are not even out yet. I did not know that.

I got a few other quotes via email.....turns out they were all scammers (4 other emails total)

So, just wanted to let my fellow miners know about this problem and I hope no one else makes the stupid mistake like I did. This was my first investment into mining equipment and they took all my funds I had saved up. Sucks. I guess it could of been worse....but still....I am disgusted over the whole thing. I tend to learn my lessons the hard way.....this lesson sure did hurt!

So bottom line.......BE CAREFUL if your buying any equipment from alibaba.com! I hope someone who happens to think of doing the same thing I did reads this and doesn't lose there money. I now found a couple companies in the U.S. that are reliable sources for equipment. Wish I found them before I placed the order.......coulda....woulda.....shoulda.

Anyways.....back to counting my pennies to try and get me a real mining machine.
