I am testing some pools and it seems there is a relation between nicehash and ipominer.

Wasted a few btc to test that but it worth to expose a scammer.

If any of you can confirm that ?, I have very basic knowledge of coding.

as far only betarigs it was honest but they have bigger prices .

heheheh



There's no relation between Nicehash and IPOMiner, stop calling them Scammers -_-

Also i would never buy a miner with a picture of it that you can plainly see has been drawn. like http://minerwarehouse.com/product/alpha-technologies-viper-scrypt-asic-25mhs-batch-1-spot-pre-order/

it's fake don't buy from them

you guys could look into https://bit-mining.co/?ref=22953 . but i'v kinda have had some trouble with them i sent a little coin there and then a couple weeks later the GHS i bought was gone. But other people seem to be doing ok with them

So, there is no way to get your money back now? To bad this scammers can get away with all of it..
I see now their facebook page and twitter account are gone.. I was logged in when it happened and
i saw they changed their facebook account to qwe*** something, i did not see it all thou i was in a
hurry reading this scam-rapport..
I was really looking forward to get in to cloud mining, but now all my invest are gone..  Sad guess we
need to learn the hard way..
If any has some tips to some nice mining contracts i´m all ears.

And also, i´m a little bit confused about the thread starter, screaming scam but the user itself has a
-4 in trust.. Can we trust him/her?

Sure, everybody´s assuming scam, they don´t deliver and the whole "to good to be truth" thing going
on, but i still think it is so confusing nobody has anything to complain until now, what happened to all
the ones ordering from them? Why haven´t we heard anything until now recently?

Where they good until one point or scammers all the way?

If you take the time to look at why Terrahasher's trust is low it's because he mistakenly called another site a scam and it turned out they were legit and fairly well known to others on the site who rallied to their defense and bashed Terrahasher.  He did apologize to the site he mistakenly called a scam and retracted his accusation, but the damage was done to his rep already and the people that gave him negative trust didn't retract.  I chatted with him a little shortly after this thread was launched and he seemed like a good guy that was just trying to help everyone out, but made a mistake on one scam accusation.

A tip for everyone is always take the time to do some searches on any company before you send any money.  I found bitcominers and was about to place an order, but did a search first and found this thread and a few others that warned me off.  I know it's tempting when you see a good price for an item that is never in stock to jump on it quickly before it sells out.  But that is exactly what they are counting on.  There are real losses and opportunity losses.  You are far better off risking an opportunity loss while you do some research than taking a real loss and sending money to a scammer.  If it looks too good to be true, it probably is, and tread very lightly.

I wish you all the best of luck in getting at least some of your money back, but I hate to tell you even if you do it will likely be years.  Any money is now "evidence" and you likely won't see it back until any legal proceedings against the "company" are finished.  Even then it will likely be a fraction of what you put in.  Occasionally people get all their money back, but it is rare.  I suggest you contact the bank listed previously, your country's law enforcement agency for this type of crime, the appropriate UK police agency, and the FBI in the US since they claim that's where they are located.

Sorry for your losses and best of luck in the future.

Your all welcome, it took a month, but the group made sure they website died. Sorry for ignoring you all for the month, i just got a little fed up with all the 10 yr olds on this forum and their dick measuring contests when not a one of them has over 1mm to speak of. Anyways, another scam dead and Interpol is still investigating to find the culprits.

Recently i conducted a complaint on the boreau of investigation against internet crimes  in the UK. The website has been taken down. The process of investigation is ongoing ... I suggest you open more complaints so they will have more data to complete the case. A big hug to all ... and report right now!

So their website went down  Undecided. There goes our money.

Just very happy I'm out $70... and not more. Sorry for everyone that invested more...

Edit : I would love to know how much they made in 2 months. By the sounds of it, freaking  $100k + easily.

Dear Forum,

I am wictim of that website, too.
I ordered totally 50GH/s bitcoin mining for 3 months at January, 22, 2014.
I wait to my order will be processed. They said that it is processing.

Today is 5th February. It means that more than 12 days are gone out.
But they said “launch in 7 days”.
Fortunately, my waste of money cost is nearly 100 dollars valued as bitcoin.
I did not use Bank Wire Transfer. Because I live in Turkey.

I wish I would see your post before I purchased some b.s orders from bitcominers.com
I noted that their website is not opening at this time.
Also, some users may ordered 4TH/s contracts, too as their comments on BitcoinScammers link;
http://bitcoinscammers.com/bitcominers-com/#comment-1427

Unfortunately, that website has got best offer, but it is not real.  Cry

Me and my friends made an order together for 650ghs on 11.january, so first bitcoins should arrived to my wallet next week Smiley

I changed some emails with "BRIAN", and he was quite polite and english was also pretty good.
I asked him, why they keep coins so long, why they dont offer at least a weekly pay out, but his answers were diplomatic.
The price per ghs was extremely good - i was thinking, that the reason for that is, they have a possibility to sell them via MtGox for very good prices and then buy another via bitstamp or so + if they manufacture the HW, the cost of machines are much lower, than BFL or KNC.. I dont know why i was so greedy and stupid..

After 2weeks, my good friend called me - Hey they changed their contracts, 1ths+ contract have wekkly pay out scheme, WE HAVE TO order one..
I was very surprised and lucky, but i had also bad feel from ordering another power from them  -especially when we didnt received coins from first contract..
Unfortunatlly, after few days, i agreed with his proposal and ordered another 1ths contract for 2250usd -- 50/50 Me/friend. I paid in BTC of course..

Now, i found this topic.. :-/

+ i lost 1.49btc, which i sent from my Multibit wallet to another personal wallet, so hell yeah - good days for me in bitcoin field :-/.

Btw - let these mothf----- down!

PeeT

ALmost fell for the 1Ths weekly pay scam. But no way I'm handing USD 2000+ over on the web without knowing a company at all.
