Topic: BTCRobo.com is a SCAM - $1k Bounty to find owner (Read 1210 times)
Robo in spanish means stole.
thanks, i almost fell for it! it looked too legit.
i did some more research.
i found that the site rotates these 8 addresses:
https://blockchain.info/address/1Cxpe9WQRrvQR4cigS6iyq2XYYUcNBVefE
https://blockchain.info/address/1FBSqqeysbMPLfrCYynTcHmsNgGppa5MG8
https://blockchain.info/address/129XCvUN4uPDX56rtarK3VmWCK1gFoB9ye
https://blockchain.info/address/1CSdhh1E5ZqpDgpU9SALFtds2BtWfZ4HF2
https://blockchain.info/address/15ystMCrhVgxdiYrejWDjYsKvei6uMktME
https://blockchain.info/address/16x2s1gYJq5HA3vCBrF4xfLNd2iuckAJGw
https://blockchain.info/address/1DbUJBJtXBUciiB1XBEQ3BZHwAQSH88n2o
https://blockchain.info/address/1NspGAwyTyDFvXerjJRmiAHowDff1p6B3c
as far as i have seen no coins have been ever moved from these addresses.
they seem to have scammed ~ 35 btc.
earliest transactions i found were in april-2016-

here is a youtube video 2016-jan-18 from "Alfred Bennett" (1 upload) promoting the site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PDHL0otQIM
strange that there are not more scam reports, since it looks like there were over 100 transactions.

how did this turn out?
i also just came across this site and it looked good on the optical, but the high transfers in the "latest 5 transaction" table looked a bit fishy to me.
so i googled a bit and landed back home here

How could someone find the owner, if it is a hide the operator website and there are no further traces?
Hello,
That is my Blockchain Transaction sent to BTCRobo.com :
https://blockchain.info/tx/95bf3fa280b313dd65744a32ca0d0be7d98ebc059e2bd896a7f598767526eefa
I've had never used them before but I needed to send $1400 to a china wholesaler quick so I wrote on google Bitcoin to Paypal instant they went first.
I tried their automatic process twice and they gave me different bitcoin address, I checked post request etc I felt it was a good website.
They gave me a tracking number which never appeared to be valid, they don't answer to email.
Their website is well done posting fake transaction, btc price updating etc.
Help me to find the owner !

Now, if you're serious about that bounty you are offering, edit your title and add that you are willing to escrow that bounty.
I'm pretty sure you'd get more responses from those able to help you if, you can escrow that bounty you are offering.

They have a good set of webmaster for their site to land in the first page,just by posting it here people will now know that they are scammers with proofs,since Bitcointalk is very reputable site and always land on the first page on any queries about altcoin and bitcoin topics.

This website looks realistic, they will give you a fake tracking number and a payment form that expire within 10 minutes.
I tried brute forcing a few Post requests and analyze the network calls,it doesn't seem fake to me.I mean they have genuine processes going on in the back-ground.You are there waiting for your coin until you realize they are scammer, lost $1400USD.
I may support you on this one.Their "Contact Us" section seems fraudulent.If anyone got scammed by this website and want to track the owner down contact me.
$1k USD bounty
You want the owner information or you have the owner information ? Who is giving the bounty ? Ready to escrow the funds? $1k USD bounty
Another thing that struck me as peculiar is, for your very first transaction with them, you send $1400?
For a site you've never tried before and have no idea if legit?
(If it's not your first transaction with them, then please say so.)
Anyway, I agree with Shiroslullaby, kindly post your Transaction ID.

Shouldn't it be Paypal Funds instead of coin? It's Bitcoin to Paypal.Anyway, I agree with Shiroslullaby, kindly post your Transaction ID.
You sent them Bitcoin for a promise of money being payed via Paypal?
If possible, you should post the Bitcoin transaction. This will give you much more credibility and at least a little info on the wallet address the site is using to collect payments from people.
(Although they may be using a new wallet for each transaction.)

Their website look realistic, I wrote Bitcoin to Paypal instant on google and they appeared as first result so I decided to check their website a little bit, the bitcoin rate was changing, their gave me different bitcoin address, their payment form looked great and no scam alert on the internet so I decided to send them $1400USD
