Are you disregarding the fact that the email in the screenshot is actually a valid bitcointalk account email account? This can be easily checked.
At this point, it does not matter whether the email address is valid or not, the screenshot appears to be doctored if you carefully look at it (Please refer to BITCOIN4X's reply)

And he was also trying to show you that someone can easily alter the details in the screenshot without breaking a sweat.
His pictures weren't at scale. This is an irrelevant comparison by BITCOIN4X tbh.

I'd also like to use this chance to publicly apologize for the inconvenience Google+ experienced because I jumped too fast and didn't notice the signs of doctored image.

nutildah and Little Mouse, do you both mind to remove the neutral tag against Google+? I apologize to you both too for any inconvenience happened from your side.

OK done. I suppose it is too easy to fake a screenshot.

It's almost certain that the account is opperated by the scammer.

If you try to reset pasword by entering this emai, you get a message that a mail has been sent. You only get this for valid emails entered into a bitcointalk account. So there's no other way.

Anyone here in contact with YoMix? They could potentially save me from being scammed.
Please tell them to look into my support tickets regarding following transaction: 6044896d116b6f23ad218ceac7b2333728b148d6e64f149ddbf00f05bcad7742

thanks
What exactly is the problem here? Tried to deposit on Yomix, but your transaction is likely not going to be confirmed within 24 hours?
If that is the case, then you shouldn't worry. Contact their support (https://yomix.io/en/contacts) and state your issue.

Something tells me that your transaction might even get dropped from the mempool. Time wilt tell, anyway.
I inputed a scammer's bitcoin address when sending BTC through the mixer by mistake.
YoMix sent the transactions with fees that are too low and therefore the transactgion has been pending for days now.

I already contacted them through their contact form with my letter of guarantee (which is 100% proof I am the one who used the service) and asked them to do a double spend to a different address with higher fees so the scammer doesn't get my money.

They simply closed my tickets and didn't help me.  The transaction is still pending. They can do something, but I guess they're not interested... I told them they can keep part of the transaction as bounty but I guess they preffer a scammer gets paid? Crazy...

Dear OP & managers, a member of your signature campaign appears to be a scammer who recently got his account flagged. See here for reference:

Aside from the perfect match of date of registration down to the minute,
1. We can see the ghost of a "G" under the censored username
2. He made 717 forum-counted posts since he made the screenshot on 16 April, 2023 [36 pages of 20 posts each, minus three posts made before the screenshot], which matched his current post count.
3. His merit count matched the profile [549 up to April, given his 550th merit happened on 09 June]
I just want to add, just in case Google+ might counter that someone just took a screenshot of his profile info. if you check the "additional information" at the bottom of the profile, you won't see the "Send this member a personal message." which tells you that the screenshot was made by whoever logged in to that account. the "Send this member a personal message." is only shown if you are visiting someone else's profile account(at least as far as I know).
This is a good observation. Thanks everyone for looking into this further.
With your help at least it's possible to taint the scammer's image.

Elon could face a serious margin call on his loan to buy X. I don't think he'll take any more risks with DOGE. It's already too much for him.

What happened::
I saw this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5439652.0 and thought I'd buy a bitcointalk account.

I contacted them on Telegram and suggested using escrow...

Reference Link:
Amount Scammed: 105 USD in BTC
Payment Method: BTC
Proof of Payment: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/6044896d116b6f23ad218ceac7b2333728b148d6e64f149ddbf00f05bcad7742

As you can see I picked a trusted bitcointalk profile as escrow but he invited his own scammy lookalike account into the escrow group chat.
I'm an idiot for sending him 105$ in BTC like this... His fraud is revealed now I hope more is found out and he's fully exposed.
Greatful for any help.

To the scammer, please return my money...

I don't think that buying ICOs through exchanges is a good idea. Not only are you putting your trust on the devs of the coin, but you're also trusting the exhcange on top to secure your coins.

Seems weird. They've paid everyone else. You should probably just wait for another week, if they don't pay by then file a scam accusation using the correct method here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0

Every remark in your post is wrong. Does your signature campaign pay posts here? Weird.

One of the most trust worthy escrows in the forum gets banned for signature spam, classy. :p
And the guy who recently had some troubles with him comes up to twist the knife in the wound, surprising.

Hey, I ain't twistin' any knifes here. Don't you find it funny that a guy who claims to have escrowed 8k bitcoins was spamming for a signature campaign? I do.
It does seem a bit like you are trying to twist a knife. I don't believe that being in a signature campaign itself means that you are a spammer.

Meh, I just feel an urge to make fun of the ridiculousness. I'd make fun of any "legendary escrow" that got banned for spamming posts paying 0.5$ each.
