Upon investigation, alia ==
favours via IP evidence and a now-deleted mistaken bump of one of alia's threads. Info in favours' posts disproves alia's claimed identity.
My neutral rating was intended only as a statement of fact. alia
was verified on /r/GirlsGoneBitcoin. Here are the GirlsGoneBitcoin verification procedures:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlsGoneBitcoin/wiki/verification . It's intended to verify that the user is not just giving out random images found online and calling them their own, not to actually verify their identity. The person in the verification photos is definitely female, and is extremely unlikely to be 15. Furthermore, alia has had a number of customers for her camgirl stuff on this forum who were apparently mostly satisfied. Therefore, it is most likely that the person behind the alia account was hiring a camgirl to do their camgirl-related work.
Alia was immediately on my radar when they appeared out of nowhere with a clever way to get a trust rating (even neutral) from me. And then they went on to invade every forum trading industry. I was
hoping that it was just an impressively ambitious person, but as I kind of feared, I guess it was a setup for a long con or something.
Not surprisingly.
I have long suspected that alia = favours because of a gut feeling, but didn't have the evidence to build a case.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1924604.msg19096078#msg19096078 -> Favours offering a gambling service. Alia was offering the exact same service, and both act in the same manner completely.
I asked in Skype whether she would be able to do a live stream for the gambling service that supposedly "she doesn't lose, ever", and the first response was no, and said that she may be able to do it tomorrow but I was apparently still able to deposit funds with her. I asked her the day after with no response when I asked whether she was available for video.
Also, favours' only merit was sent to alia's post for no reason:

Hopefully nobody got scammed by his gambling service..
