⚠️ BE AWARE: Unnoticed Scamming Method. Start Recognizing This.

[ImposterJack]

Shill.

Definitions:
1. A hustler or con-person who tries to convince other people to buy something or think something is great (shilling).
2. A person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating, for e.g. at a gambling house, auction, etc.
3. A person who publicizes or praises something or someone for reasons of self-interest, personal profit, friendship, loyalty, etc.
The shill himself has ulterior motives behind their actions / words, usually because they are the actual seller or they themselves have something to gain from you.
Examples:

- Got $1234 in giftcards, how do I cash out?
- I carded this crypto site, but didn't cash out in time and they froze my funds, help
- This method worked from this vendor, cashed out but his CCs are expensive. Where to buy CCs from?
- My CC BIN works at this site very good, what are some other good cardable sites
- and etc.
Read between the lines. Do you notice it?
Posts like these are very problematic, why?

Because the post / text inside of the post at first glance looks innocent and on top of that, there is no real way of determining whether or not the poster's claims are true, until you do business with them.
I have noticed the rise of posts like these and decided to spread awareness so I can warn those who may not recognize such scam attempts.
Always be skeptical, especially towards new accounts, use common sense and use escrow whenever possible.
You've been warned.

Wish dread had a filter (maybe they do & i haven't found it) I could use to filter out account's less than 2 weeks old or with less than 50 comment's from the feed completely. The newer accounts that are spamming, usually aren't active for long before they are banned or move on and create the next account. Would also help legitimate new users filter out other new users.

Oh i have no doubt dread filters a shit load of the spam out. Imo they are one of the best "dark" forums to do this, which is one of the reason's i enjoy dread so much. I'm just a dick & don't care to interact with new account's at all. There could be exception's to that though such as "new accounts" > "first post" >"10 up votes"
But i agree, dread does a phenomenal job containing the spam

I am new here.

dread has global filters and most subs have their own filters specific to that sub or filters to combat known scamming techniques.
just because my account says 5 days old that doesnt mean Im new or trying to scam. sometimes a second account is needed.

I did an experiment just to see how mods and established community members treated new accounts and it blew my mind. My perspective on new accounts has changed. Dread needs to have more checks in place for moderators. Sure they do it out of "the kindness of their heart" but their are MANY piece of shit mods on dread who are not impartial or here to serve dread. I would argue they are here to push their own agendas. Plan on doing a write up about my experience soon.
