Topic: Bitcoin Scam Site - Do Not Use!!! (Read 358 times)
Updated Topic
It is strange that they ask for only 3 euro and not 30. I saw a lot of idiots who wanted to get Bitcoin for free this way, but lost their funds. I have seen similar "generators" that increased your bitcoin. If send 1 BTC get 5 BTC etc. Judging by their wallets, they make good money on fools
The fact that it's only €3 (or whatever other low amount) makes people actually want to give it a shot. If they lose €3 they lose and it's not a big deal. This is what scammers know and bank on. If thousands of people get scammed like this, all the €3 deposits add up to a sweet amount. If this scam is operated by someone in a third world country, then it's even more worthwhile.
Just think about it, no one is going to send hundreds of dollars worth of Bitcoin to a random site. A few bucks of it might be worth the gamble for people.

It is a Bitcoin generater, they ask you to send them 3 euros worth of bitcoin in order to get more bitcoin, but you do not get any bitcoin. so you would be very silly to try it, you will lose your bitcoin. That is a scam in my eyes.
Any proof that you have been scammed? or do you just suspect that the site will only cheat you? Maybe people out there will be careful and think thousands of times to make a deposit with 3 euro to get bitcoin from the generator.
Hopefully, every newbie must know how to get bitcoin, they must know there is no easy way to get bitcoin even though it's through a faucet.
For those experienced people in the crypto space and once became a victim of these scam "bitcoin generators", we understood it upon looking at the domain for the first time that this kind of sites are total scams.
But sadly and surprisingly, there are people who are still falling for this kind of scam. If you are into social media like facebook, you will see a lot of people who are misinformed and still not aware of these kind of scams. Thanks for the warning OP, this remains helpful for everyone and to new comers mostly.

Seriously? Anyone who falls for those type of scams are either brain-dead, desperate or both.
If every bitcoin generator out there have to be reported, it will fill four pages of scam accusation board in just a day.
What should be reported are those faucets that accepts and tolerate these types of Ponzi-sites in their ad-space since it's the most common type of website that newbies like to visit; mostly invited by their "non-crypton fan" friends.
Here in Bitcointalk, showing ponzi scam in the signature or post will get you tagged; so faucet owner and affiliate accounts (and advertisers) should be tagged for showing Ponzi scam Ads on their website.
I think you're to harsh by calling people brain-dead or desperate. For us - people with experience in crypto world it's easy to say that these Bitcoin generators are scam, it's more than obvious. But for newbies with very limited knowledge about crypto it's difficult to determine it. And offcourse, newbies is the main target of owners of such websites.

Just thought I would let people no not to bother with it.
You actually did a good job to save potentials victims who would have getten themselves involved in the ponzi site. Many years back i was a victim and the experience left me whit indelible mark uptil now because i lost a big huge sum of money in the process. Greediness should be discourage among forum members to avoid such lost.
I don't need to know if it is fraudulent, but I advise you never to send your bitcoin to any address to get more bitcoins. Never exchange out the bitcoin that belongs to us in exchange for bitcoin that we have not yet identified. This kind of scam site I met a lot, I never bothered about it.
Really surprising actually how some people fall for such scam to send a coin to get more. I mean is funny because the coin sent, you can't have access to withdrawal anymore and if you sense a fall play, the service centre starts frustrating you with selfie provision to ascertain you are the owner.
Your post is appreciated. You won't know, it might save some newbies in the coming days.
I wonder if there are still newbies in crypto fall for this website since most of them don't know how to research things until the damage is done.I'm sure there are a lot of newbies who still fall for this trap simply because they don't do any research whatsoever and that's why this kind of scam sites are not dying but instead growing because they know they can still pull this old trick.
And for those newbies out there, there's no such thing as bitcoin generator or free bitcoins out there. Everyone here work their ass-off just to earn few satoshis.
Well it is now a parked domain, my theory is they shut it down because they are already caught and reported or the developer of that site already made money so they parked it, and they are going to sell this domain but there will be a new site like this in the future because it is a script that you can set up over and over again.
How in this era, neither brother nor friend, but we have to send money with the desire to earn more money? impossible .......
It's greed. People somehow believe that the crypto space offers them all the tools they need to make the money they wouldn't be able to make without it. The reality however turns out to be very ugly.Instead of making money, they are losing it, and in some cases it concerns their entire life savings, which is very sad. It's hard to imagine that people do this, but on the other hand, they just want to improve their finances for a better life.
It's safe to say that most people here have lost money one way or another when they entered the crypto world as newbie. In my case it was money I could afford to see vanish, but that's not how most people here manage their risks.
I am very concerned and do not believe that you can be affected by fraud even though there are not many, hopefully it will not happen again and become a lesson for you and all others. I thank you for the information.
only for me this is a separate question, why can you be lied to? Even though we know that what is done for fraud is something unnatural, it should not happen. How in this era, neither brother nor friend, but we have to send money with the desire to earn more money? impossible .......

Greediness will cause any one to fall for this pretty scam of Bitcoin generator. Once upon a time i fell with the this very kind of scammed when i send some fractions of Bitcoin to receive a bigger fractions i presume to be true but at the end the expected Bitcoin never return to my wallet and then i fell for them. They always come up with different domain names but still use the same ways to make their silly evil transactions on innocent ones to fall.
After the process finishes a message pops up that their finished and bitcoin is ready to be sent but first you must send them bitcoin, they ask you to send them 3 euros worth of bitcoin to their bitcoin address and wait 10 minutes for your bitcoin to be sent to you, but you do not get any bitcoin. 
Why they do not deduct the 3 euros from the 1.5BTC value that will be given to me and then send the rest of the coins to my wallet?It can’t scam a child if they are scammers, so must be creative, for example, "send 10 Satoshi to your address and then receive 15 Satoshi and send back 100 Satoshi after watching ads then Scam you."

It was unfortunate that you fell on their trick, but at least now you've got an idea on how this kind of site works. Next time, you must check first before sending any amount online.
On the bottom left part of this page you'll see a move topic option. This kind of topic is really posted on Scam Accusations board, but I was thinking too if it should be moved on Beginners and Help instead, as a warning to newbies because mostly they are the ones who fall for this scams.

Maybe, it is okay to post this thread on both sections. You'll never know, it might save somebody's hard-earned money. Those type of sites, which are offering bitcoin amount that are too good to be true usually have certain procedure (i.e. installation of software, uploading your wallet, sending money, etc.) that you need to follow before they will give that promised amount. And if you are not meticulously reading every step, you unknowingly might upload your private keys. Which is their real purpose. Either getting fast cash or private keys that they will use for stealing funds.
