This is of course no smoking gun and i recommend you contact the above registrant and attempt further communications with the operator through your existing means. If no response is obtained in a reasonabke time, please feel free to contact the Bitcoin Police in our freenode irc channel #bitcoin-police or via email at [email protected]. our website http://bitcoin.crimeunit.com has information on known scammers and scams as well as other info you may find useful.

lol, the Bitcoin Police. I checked out your site linked and it recommends I get a plumber in Winnipeg.

Let me see your badge!





I think whoever was hosting MrTiggr stopped paying for his domain.

Hi there CanaryInTheMine,

That operator is not known to Bitcoin Police as a scammer.

If it is of any assistance, the domain has been registered for at least a year to :

Registrant:
   MemePod
   3110 13th Street NW
   Washington, DC  20010-2408
   US

   Registrar: DOTSTER
   Domain Name: BITCOINBONUS.COM
      Created on: 15-DEC-10
      Expires on: 16-DEC-11
      Last Updated on: 16-DEC-10

   Administrative, Technical Contact:
      Duane, Darrell 
      MemePod
      3110 13th Street NW
      Washington, DC  20010-2408
      US
      202 667 8728
      202 667 5392

Note that the domain registration expires in December of this year, in my experience it is remiss of a diligent site operator to let domains near less than 6 months from registration expiry to ensure consumer confidence.

This is of course no smoking gun and i recommend you contact the above registrant and attempt further communications with the operator through your existing means. If no response is obtained in a reasonabke time, please feel free to contact the Bitcoin Police in our freenode irc channel #bitcoin-police or via email at [email protected]. our website http://bitcoin.crimeunit.com has information on known scammers and scams as well as other info you may find useful.
