Just saw this post and it looks like a scammer tries to collect private keys from newbies. To avoid other people reading this lose their funds I suggest to the admin to delete this post:

Thanks, but it looks like it was a post from one arbitrator, so nothing wrong.  
(btw, the forum is monitored quite closely (because of occasional spam)).

As Homrad, said, thanks for the report, it can be quite helpful to keep spam away and in future you can simply flag posts that look suspicious.

This is keo, he is an arbitrator. In some very rare cases, when bugs are very severe and there is no other way, arbitrator has to do a payout manually and needs to do it on behalf of the user. This is when using users private key is most effective, but hopefully devs will find a way to fix this in the future.
