Topic: BUYER BEWARE: BITCO MINERS SCAM - page 2. (Read 18918 times)

Thanks. I would've liked to rent a miner from them. It sucks cause they had good prices If only it was true

Check out groupbitcoin.com if you're still looking into cloud mining, I happen to know it's genuine because I run it !

Sometimes it takes a scammer to know a scammer

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..   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?

Can i report it to the police online? I'm from Poland.

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

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

Yea.. I got owned for USD 70. I tested the waters first (it looked too good to be true). I thought what the hell.. let's rip

I would never give a unknown company with no track record more than that (70 was too much in any case).

Supposedly pay out is 30 days after contract was activated, so in 5 days time I'm suppose to get payment. I'm not getting my hopes up, but lets see.


But I see a scammers paradise with bitcoin mining. You can make insane amount of bitcoin with little repucation.  Post a few group buys or just fake website, decent prices and voila. Easy bitcoins.


edit: Reading about the change in banking details (or not accepting all of a sudden) tells me it's 100% scam.

why is there site still up? every one help me to take it down b4 they can steal other peoples money. Let me here your battle cry brothers!!

Im sry to hear about what happen to you Groupcoin i just dont know what to do now i cant believe i was that dumb. here is all the info they gave me if it help any one track them down.

There's not a great deal you can do if you've sent them Bitcoin, If you have their Bank details contact the bank they're with ASAP and hope the Police catch up with them before all the monies gone. $3000 is a lot of money but it would never buy 1.1TH/s cloud mining for a long long time.

iv sent them over $3000 for 1.1 ths and now your telling me this..... im so stupid dont know what to do now my coin is sitting in there bitcoin account.
https://blockchain.info/address/1AxvR8dCUZWzvooPGo1km2UAkJtmKFsQ2s

I have atleast 15 emails from them

I have there banking info also. i have talk to them for over 1 1/2 months i dont understand how this could happen

i fought wildland fire to get that money it was all i had. man if any one knows anything i can do to get some of it back please tell me

From personal experience you have to provide a lot of info! to open a Barclays business account. I would strongly suggest you contact Barclays ASAP in the morning explain exactly what happened maybe send a link to this thread, they should hopefully freeze these accounts while they investigate it and you might even recover some of the frozen funds if they've taken loads of orders there should be lots of money which is hard to move especially if its a new account you can't exactly take it all out in cash.

I'm certain if someone calls Barclays that has been scammed tomorrow and explain whats happened they will limit those two mentioned accounts and investigate the business.

Well we started in November as a group buy for some equipment, we have lots of happy members it's a bit sad really that people only seem to get mentioned on here for doing bad stuff, for ripping people off. Haven't seen anyone talk about us much and we've got quite a lot of members now we're on cloudminingreviews.com but not much else.

Really horrible to see people STILL getting scammed by Bitcominers I first heard about them from someone on our live chat trying to get me to order from their website in broken English?! then a few of our customers told me they'd been ripped off.

Any scams will normally be mentioned somewhere on here, shame people don't check out the forums before they buy, surely if they accepted Bank Transfers to a UK account for a while the police will catch up with them ? Surely It's pretty hard to run a fake Barclays account ?!

I have ordered miner, cost 2199USD. Unfortunately I paid.
I canceled the order, of course they answered that they return me money, but it was last message from them.
Now they not answer  for may emails.

The bank account details which I recived from them is:
    Account Name: NH Equipment Ltd.
    Account Number: 13029859
    Sort Code: 20-52-74
    Bank Name: BARCLAYS BANK PLC
    IBAN: GB93 BARC 2052 7413 0298 59
    BIC: BARCGB21 (*some countries requires 11-digit Swift Code. In this case please use BARCGB22XXX)


But from the previouse post in this topic you can notice different account number/id.
Janis Construction Ltd.
IBAN: GB93 BARC 2095 6100 6377 34
BIC/Swift code: BARCGB22
Bank Name: BARCLAYS BANK PLC
Branch address: 46A Ballards Lane, Finchley, London, N3 2BB, United Kingdom

On the web page you can check informations about this fake companies. Of course this is scam.

They are definitely scammers.

I lost  2199USD. I plan to report it on the police.

Anyone received a mining contract payment, product, or refund recently?

HELLO,

After reading all the stuff here, I was curious if Bitcominers give a reaction.
So I ordered 1TH on there page and want to have a invoice for my payment.

This is the result from last week, I want to share it with you.

MY ADVISE, DONT ORDER ANYTHING WITH BITCO MINERS!!!

Hello Sir,

I'm sorry about this delay.
Starting from yesterday, we temporary do not accept Bank Transfers because of frequent cases of fraud activity with Bank Transfer payments. Now we accept Bitcoins only.

I feel the same way mate boo hoo…

I worked so hard to get me my first bitcoin and then just gave it away to a scammer without thinking. I just can't believe how easily I let my guard down on this, it wasn't that it seemed too good to be true but just so good that I had to take action now!!

And wow Google still allowing their ads to run even though they know it's a scam, that's just wrong!!

Well you look good but how do I know you're not just another scammer?
Does anyone else from this site have a good word to say about you?
If they do and when I get another BTC, I'll probably give you a go so thanks
I think

My status of order is processing..

Ordered January 22, 2014 and no answer.

I let myself be fooled ..

Ehm is anyone already scammed by them? I believe that everyone is still waiting within acceptable terms isn't it?

Buddy sorry for that, but in this time you HAVE to be searchin at internet or wait till somebody make review with positive response. Fuckin bitcominers, hope they put them in jail.

And as always: it is too good to be a true
