I know it seems like an obvious title, but I'm seeing quite a lot of "negative" feedback on scammers which hasn't been marked as such. As a matter of fact, if the users that leave this "negative" feedback ever get put onto the DefaultTrust list, it would (slowly) start to falsely improve the trust rating of scammers.
- Signing Messages:
By being able to verify if an "signed message" is from the wallet address given in a message, you can verify whether or not a signed message is genuine or fake. If fake, then chances are you're dealing with a scammer.

If you write a post/PM it should look like on the picture below:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I added an example how to post the signed message for the blockchain.info part

Work in progress.
