Two people already tagged him red about it. What else? I think that is enough.

My assumption is that he may still come back to say that he is sorry, thinking he can earn more merit on the new sorry post after he pay the money.

I participated if this is the one: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5569878.msg66232207#msg66232207

But this one of a new growing user is surprising.

This is the person I was referring to, just about to tag him as it's very hypocritical of DT to tag 1 guy for a $10 giveaway but noone wants to tag the user who didn't pay the $25 giveaway.

I think both are guilty of the same thing and need treated as such. Not neutral for 1, red for other.

Akuma_ was just everywhere talking about this his contest and spamming threads, I remembered warning him to stop spamming threads.
It was clear he was doing that to gain more attention and merit from the contest, am not surprised he ended up making the contest a fake one.
Just like someone said he has already been tagged and that’s good for him, some set of newbies are very desperate of  growth, they don’t understand that growth is a process.

It doesn't matter anymore. Even if he receives 50 more merits, his account's reputation has already been messed up and whatever his aim was to farm merits using the fake giveaway will not be achieved

I am also going to support the flag created against the account.

Both are definitely guilty and I recalled seeing the Akuma_ post and was actually skeptical but never wanted to judge until the end of the contest and I can say the feeling I was having is right.

The other user was more obvious as a scammer because earlier in the same month(December) he posted the contest, he requested for an $800 dollar loan with $160 interest: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5569134.msg66200782#msg66200782, an obvious scam especially going through the thread.

Anyway, I hope these users who merited them and others are more watchful or maybe wait until they complete the expected offer they made and please not to be discourage in their generosity because this will only make this more difficult for newbies or not so reputable accounts. Let's be watchful and not ignore generosity.

Even with a negative tag, he will still be able to sell his merits. If there is an offer, there will always be a buyer, although in this case, the buyer should be naive, not realizing that such measures will not bring him success. Nevertheless, the practice of such cheating accounts, which quite cunningly pretend to be members of other local sections and become translators of some topics where you can get several merits, is already known. It would be more important to check translated topics with native speakers and only then reward newbies for their work.

Everyone remembers the cheater Suzume, and it seems he's decided to reappear on the forums, but due to his stupidity and ignorance, he gave himself away with a single word, which you discovered. Time passes, but nothing has changed in this man's mind.
