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

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.

Thank you, theymos.

My neutral rating was intended only as a statement of fact.

I only took it as one; I understand the concept of a neutral rating.  I understood it to mean exactly this:

The person in the verification photos is definitely female, and is extremely unlikely to be 15.

Thus, no chance it was a 15-year-old boy doing a “pull & tuck” as someone else alleged upthread.  I will continue to rely on /r/GirlsGoneBitcoin verification procedures for exactly what they promise.  If somebody with malicious intent will go to the extent of hiring another party to do the verification and the camshows, then that is well beyond the threat model which I understand your verification procedures to protect against.

I appreciate your setting the record straight here.


Yes, a change from alia_armelle to alia is a minor change which I would normally do for anyone who can convince me to spend time on it. (If I recognize your username, I'm much more likely to handle your requests. I'm also much more likely to look into your scam accusations...)

Whomever-I-was-writing-to told me a story about some alleged privacy breach.  It did not fully make sense to me; but he/she/it gave me few details, and did it in such a manner that I could not pry without coming off as invading privacy myself.

The gist (also stated in public threads I could dig up) was something about needing the username to not be searchable (i.e. someone IRL had found alia_armelle, and Google would lead to naked pics).

What story did he/she/it tell you?

I never accept payment for this sort of thing.

I presumed you did not, in this case; and I was offended by a user who suggested that it happened because alia “sucked theymos dick [sic]”.  [Edit: Post apparently deleted by user, but preserved in another user’s quote.  Edit:  And also in this archive link.]



I assume he just isn't very familiar with such things; gambling isn't my area of interest either.

My knowledge with gambling / scripts is very limited, as you can see from my previous history and I was just speaking from personal experience. I profited so I said that.

That makes three of us.  From the “naked gambling” thread:

Doubled 0.01 BTC for nullius!

I got lucky, indeed!

As I said upthread, I did not request camming—only the gambling part.  We briefly discussed terms; I more or less just left it all to her discretion.  I then sent Alia a bit over 0.01 BTC.  It was a surprise thrill when my wallet notified me of a bit over 0.02 BTC incoming.  Alia told me that’s an unusually big win, and not to be expected.  Myself, I think that some of my special magic must have rubbed off in on her.

The best part:  I was a gambling virgin, and Alia took my cherry.
