Re: Why I think User "alia" is a (potential) scammer? User "aTriz" maybe involved!

Setting aside the age issue for a moment:  I find it wildly implausible that a 15-year-old boy could fool theymos’ /r/GirlsGoneBitcoin verification procedure.  theymos has a bit of experience with this, you know; and he’s not stupid.

I don't have any doubt that what theymos saw was a real person doing what was required for a verification, I doubt it was completely faked, but this is why I PM'd theymos as he may have the best insight, I don't use GirlsGoneBitcoin. There are still plausible scenarios where one could get verified using images or videos they paid for, from friends taking a cut, blackmail, etc. E-Whoring seems to be getting more sophisticated these days, the verification through theymos may have been the hardest (or most costly) piece but certainly not impossible.

A better question may be "Why is there a 15 year old boy asking for a fake ID matching the name of an e-whore who appeared on this forum a week after that 15 year old boy asked for it"
