The sad thing is....he wasn't!! And to clarify what I mean by saying the fact this question is asked is why the scamers keep trying to scam...is because people are really stupid and do stupid things. Not saying this OP is stupid. But the scam messages he was talking about....At least 8 btc were sent to that address!!! Meaning there were members stupid enough to believe that SR would message you and ask you to send money to a BTC address!! And as long as there are stupid people..the scamming will continue. And these scams are not good ones. NO ONE should fall for them. NO ONE. Under no circumstances. And for those that did..sorry you did as I hate to hear about anyone getting scammed. And no one ever deserves it. But I really hope they were high as shit..because if they fell for this sober......
