As you all know, scammers impersonate the identities of various Bitcointalk.org users on different platforms with the objective of robbing unsuspecting users. This is why it's important to verify the identities of the people you trade with on this forum.

There are two primary methods of verification:

1. Staked Addresses
2. PGP Public Keys (more secure)

When dealing with Bitcointalk users who provide escrow, campaign management, and other types of high-value services, you should always demand for one of these verification methods. The more addresses and keys provided, the more confident you can be that you're dealing with the real person (short of a SWAT team raid and hardware confiscation, but that is extremely rare and is out of scope for this thread).

On this thread I will list the profile information for all service providers on Bitcointalk, their handles, and how to verify their authenticity if you want to contact them. Especially for interactions outside Bitcointalk.
