Title: Beware of people trying to buy accounts with PayPal
Post by: FinalFrontier on November 15, 2012, 06:24 am
I received a message today from a user whose name I'll keep just in case the poor sap was just very silly and not LE or some other unscrupulous individual.
He/she was trying to purchase an SR account because registrations are closed, and asked me if I had another I'd sell.

I don't, but I was curious why I specifically was messaged, and how much people would pay, so I asked both questions.

I was told he/she "didn't have many bitcoins" and therefore needed to use PayPal.

Guys, I hope this goes without saying, but anyone who connects their SR account to a clearweb account on any site, _especially_ a currency site like PayPal, is ***ing insane.  Maybe not illegal straight out, but why would you even endanger yourself.

Again, no idea if he was LE, a random crazy (when I declined he immediately changed track and tried to accuse me of attempting to sell to him), or otherwise.  Just stay safe.
