Title: BTER Deposits - Double check the account name!
Post by: Riverhead on August 05, 2014, 08:42:09 am
I recently send some BTSX to BTER and noticed that a number of accounts have been registered designed to catch typos.  Such as:
bbtercom
bter
bter-com
bter-bts
bter-deposit


And a bunch of others.  BE SURE TO FIND btercom AND ADD IT TO YOUR FAVORITES and then only send to what you pick from your list.  A typo could be quite costly.  It's possible BTER themselves created a bunch of accounts with common typos, if so that's awesome, but unless they respond and say so it could be a scammer.

This is why the robohashes is very important concept.
Make sure when you send something to btercom you see this picture:

And I highly recommend bter to have their account robohash on the deposit page.

When I looked last time, the newest version (delegates only) showed another robot picture. Because the link to robohash contains some extra letters. I am sure someone saw it already.

Putting whatever the current picture is on BTER.com's deposit page right next to the account name is a fantastic idea.
