I do not think the op is a scammer... I think it was a typo. stop the fud please.
Very unlikely, to make a link different you have to put effort in. Odds are OP was trying to scam.
Here's how to create a legit link:

Here's what OP did:
[url=http://www.zerohedges.com/news/2013-03-21/us-begins-regulating-bitcoin-will-consider-virtual-transactions-money-laundering]http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-03-21/us-begins-regulating-bitcoin-will-consider-virtual-transactions-money-laundering[/url]
Notice how inside the tags there's the scam link.
