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.

Code:

-----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 here.

Work in progress.
