Their representative is asking for an undisclosed amount of bitcoins from Moneta to remove the false accusations.
We will be updating the scammer's list however they are acting cautiously as their attempt to defraud has been made public.


HOW IT WORKS?

Scammer Group Statement: "New users will always be intimidated and accused, especially in ANN Threads. This is the forum policy."
Moneta Holdings17: "Why?"
Scammer Group Statement: "Because if you want to post a Thread you shall have at least 2 years of membership or you shall buy a 2-year-old account."
Moneta Holdings17: "Where do you buy these accounts?"
Scammer Group Statement: "We have accounts at: https://www.playerup.com/accounts/bitcointalkaccount/ & https://upvotes.club/buy/bitcointalk-account/"
Moneta Group17: "These accounts are expensive, starting at $500."
Scammer Group Statement: "If you do not buy accounts from us we will make you buy one."

We consulted a highly trusted user on bitcoin talk about buying accounts and his answer:
"If you buy an existing old account, they will blackmail you after, saying that you have bought the account and ask usually for 0.2 to 0.8 bitcoin for marketing purposes. Basically, they will hand you the license not to be touched on the forum. Simple as that."

I don't expect anyone to believe anything.
Just an eye-opener!
I think it would serve the community to a much greater extent than argue with a group embodying arrogance and UNPUNISHABILITY.
