Topic: BITCOIN GOLD SCAM SITE mybtgwallet.com - page 3. (Read 12882 times)
2FA is not like private key/seed word which is one time authentication pairing at creation time only, there is 2 way interactive response challenge in 2FA, the scammer have to contact all the victim on time to complete the transaction because 2FA is time sensitive, if he failed to give the code within the time given the transaction will be cancelled
Need on chain second layer of protection of private key transfer online, like 2FA authentication whenever private key is pass over for authentication, only owner be able to let private key to unlock anything
If you have a 2FA then they will ask that too on the bogus website and you will give it to them.The script will do the job as easy as this time.
Anyway,I think something is not clear here:
Giving away one Private Address from one of your Addresses from your wallet, gives the hacker/scammer etc access only to that specific address.
Giving away the Secure Passphrase (MNEMONIC/SEED etc) gives FULL ACCESS to the WHOLE wallet!!!!!
The guys from mybtgwallet didn't steal only BTC. They did steal also ETH/LTC/ZEC and other coins from the users that were using multicoin wallets. So the access was to the whole wallet not just one address.
Mind the difference between Priv Key and Seed....
The damage is much bigger than we expect, multi coins are involved.
We are also waiting for an official announcement.The devs from BTG told us that they've got access to the hosting server of the website and are investigating.
The developer of the website said he is investigating this too but the community acuses him for now until further proof.

The site is 1000% scam. You (all) should learn once at for all - never put your private keys on unknowns and suspicious sites.
My guess is that somebody hacked BTG site and put the phishing link there. It's pointless to steal some merely 40-50BTC and ruin a billions dollar cap project.
There is no chance it is put up there by hacker, it is offered by the website owner (btg official) as means to check your BTG availability right on the front page

syncing the wallet is boring, but more secure than use online wallet.

same here. Followed the link from the BTG official website. Got my BTC both BTG stolen. Don't know what to do now. The whole idea with this fork proved to be just another terrible scam, that's all. That was my fault i know this.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am with you. Luckily 60% of my btc were transferred to kraken.
I suppose BTG officials should know the identities of people behind mybtgwallet, same implies for DNS registars, etc.
The total amount stolen is 70.5 BTC so far and, IMO, the best thing to do is to get this as much publicity as possible.

Just a simple rule of thumb is to transfer the bitcoins to some other wallets from the wallet which you want to extract the fork coins whether it be Bitcoin cash or Bitcoin Cold. In this way, even if your private key is comprised, there is no risk that you lose bitcoin because you already moved the bitcoins but the bad thing is most people dont do this precautionary step.
This website was on the official BTG page until a few hours ago.
Between 20-40 BTC were stolen by this website from the users trying to claim BTG for the BTC they had before the fork.
The users imput their mnemonics from BTC wallets in order to get the BTG wallet and private key.
This website used this menmonic to get access to the specified BTC account and empty it in a second.
After getting the BTC from those accounts the strange thing is that not for all the BTC account stolen, the scammer did not claim BTG although he had all info.
I built a community (https://join.slack.com/t/stolenbtc/shared_invite/enQtMjczNzMxOTM5MjIyLTNhZWRlNjNmMGUwOGJlYzFlMGZhNTIxMjA1ZWJhZmU1YTJjOTY3NTQ3Y2Q2YWE5NTc5NzAxZTRlYzAzYmEzMzA) with all the people that I could find that were ripped by this scammer and I helped a few of them to claim their btg. Feel free to join.
Some of the users claim that they lost up to 43 BTC.
Keep in touch.
Since it is in btg official webpage maybe developer of BTG is in cahoots with the one who stole btc, and they both have agreed to not claim btg's. It won't be listed on bitcoin gold official page unless my speculation is true. The fact that it got listed on their official page means that the developer might have had something to do with them or knows the scammer really well. For now wait for official announcement from btg dev, you can also go to services section and try to hire a skilled tracker to track the thief.Between 20-40 BTC were stolen by this website from the users trying to claim BTG for the BTC they had before the fork.

I agree with you, the possibility of advertising related to the developer or team of btg. this is very unfortunate once the cheating happens again.
Another victim here. I visited mybtgwallet site through the OFFICIAL link posted on OFFICIAL bitcoin gold website and ofcourse used my private keys because i believed it was a trustworthy website - turns out it was a scam. Ofcourse link disappeared last night from bitcoin gold website. Crazy irresponsible shit from BTG devs. BTW i didn't have any BTC, but all my BTG were stolen.

I don’t know how many times I’ve read on this site to move you bitcoins away from the private keys you are using to claim forks, before claiming. Would have saved these people a small fortune....

This is a real shame if true, and I lay the blame solely at the BTG developers. In ANY new cryptocurrency project it's necessary to consider the roll-out, communication and user experience not just writing code. Failure to do so results in user frustration, scams and an unsuccessful project (usually). This isn't even new information, we've seen it happen time and time again with projects that implode from lack of timely updates or not communicating with their userbase well enough.
Finally, NEVER trust your private keys to an online service ever , unless you're willing to lose them.

everything that related somehow to Bitcoin Gold is a scam...
Everything that BTG touches turns to Shit
BTG*.* all websites on earth were operational scams for a month
Pool.Gold was redirection 1Mega Sol/Sec for a month
Nobody cared, then or now
BTG sites were turning good BTC into BTG shit,
Especially the YOBIT.NET site ( russian ), very much involved in scam of turn BTC into BTG.
What do you mean by " Pool.Gold was redirection 1Mega Sol/Sec for a month" ?
didn't know about the YOBIT...maybe they were using it to dump their BTG or to bump the BTG.....
I am not so much into trades, know a little about it.
Here a thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-gold-online-wallet-mybtgwallet-2393967 with other victims of MyBTGWallet.
Need to be careful. There are so many people cheating at these times.
And also bitcoin gold is scam
And also bitcoin gold is scam
Ok, you can say something is a scam but you must also proove it.
I asked for addreses to check on the blockchain, the guys gave me everything, screenshots of transactions, TX, addreses..everything.
They said that they are willing to give the private keys to the BTG devs to further investigate this.
I was sceptic at the beginning regarding this and thought it was a marketing method to undermine the trust of John Dass (developer of mybtgwallet.com) but at the end, when the users provided proof I started to believe them.
I asked them to also sign messages from the BTC addreses thei claim to be ripped but they didn't know yet how to do it. Will kepp in touch anyway.
PS: This thread is not for saying that BTG is a scam (which in my opinion is not). IT is for people that claimed that got scammed by mybtgwallet.com
BTG is a cryotocoin not a scam. It works as many other cryptocoins.
hmm i'll tell you why it is a scam
first of all they are doing it mostly for money - its obvious with this big premine
and yesterday someone found a hidden code inside bitcoin gold that takes fee's ..
search "bitcoin gold found hidden code" in google
Everybody is doing things online for the money, why else should they do it?
Almost 90% of the new coins are premined by their developers. (more than that, ICOs take between 10-20% out of the total supply by default for "marketing" purposes).
The code was inserted from one of the developers (the Bulgarian one) into the MINING POOL CODE the btgmine pool used. If you read on github about this code, you will see that the developer put this fee into the code with a comment ("to the devs" or something like that) stating that he made the code and gave it to the online community.If it was not for him, even now we should be waiting for a pool script to mine the damn coin.
Anyone who wanted to install the MINING POOL code, if they have taken a look into the code and understood it (which they should- to run a pool you must know code) they could have commented the fee line and there you go.......so, who is responsable for this? The guy who made the code or the admins of the pool by being superficial and only into it for the money?
After the community asked the bulgarian about this line, he modified the comment on the line (not removing it) and updated sources on github. The total fee was 1.5% which is fair taking into account that many pools charge more than that.
To sum it up : NONE of your proofs work til now.
Inform yourself more before saying that this or that are scams.
No offence.
if 90% of the coins are doing premine, it does not make it right ... + the other coins that make premine dont do it with the knowledge that the coin will cost 100$(minimum) in the lunch .. so BTG premine is quite big money grab for nothing ...
BTG wants to be the decentralized part of bitcoin, but we all see how bullshit it is.. decentralized coins most of the time that come from fork + premine, cant be really decentralized
who owns most of the BTG? people who own Bitcoins and the devs..
normal people that want to be a part of this bullshit decentralization, only feed the coin owners pockets since the beginning
and watch the message above..
i bring only 1 red flag, there are so many..
I confirm, the site in question is a scam, fortunately I moved almost all the funds in time,
but the scammer managed to get 0.13 BTCs left for my distraction and stupidity , a few hours ago.
For the reader I say "Never put seed or private wallet keys in any way on the internet, "I hope to avoid big tears.
The BTG site managers are in any case responsible if not complicit, I hope they will investigate to find the guilty ,
if they care about their integrity,
certainly their story does not start well.
