but if you are going to send your money to a random site without doing any research about it whatsoever, then you are going to be scammed sooner or later.

I really don't understand how people fall for those scams without doing a minimal check, searching for the name alone and he would have seen this topic as the second result, their office is a virtual office, their clients counter which you mentioned a month ago is stuck at 18k and still, people are getting scammed ordering this.

I don't know what is happening but in the last days, I've seen 5 topics with month olds scams getting bumped by people saying they have lost money.

PS.
They've changed their address,

Seems like they are getting 1-2 orders a day, Cry

Please punish this site before they scam more people

There is nothing we can do as a forum to "punish" an external site. If they have an account here, then the most we can do is leave negative trust or open a flag against them as a warning, but if you are going to send your money to a random site without doing any research about it whatsoever, then you are going to be scammed sooner or later. In your case you should probably be thankful it was only $140 - there are plenty of newbies on here that have lost ten times that or more. Take it as an expensive lesson to be more careful in the future.

If you want to report the site to be removed, then follow the two links in my previous post to report it to namecheap and Google.

Unfortunately I also bought the card and paid 100 bucks in it, so looks like I got scammed as well. We should report this site, where can we report the scammers? They are not replying to my support ticket. Angry

Yup, that's the same address I was given on both my "orders". 100% a scam.

I created two orders from different browsers on different IP addresses with different details, and they both gave me the same bitcoin address to send coins to.

If this is the address: 1NDdix4AB6z7faJ72RiA3jBNNeYgbLbc4N then they have already scammed a dozen individuals who sent money to it.
According to blockchair the address has so received 0.08434396 and first started receiving payments 8 days ago

I was looking for more details but seems o_e_l_e_o already posted.

Its absolutely scam attempt. Very new site and there is no reviews yet anywhere. And most likely they used name some id card maker company (alphacard dot com). Just better to avoid, even they hide their identity during buy domain. Here is their domain details.

It's definitely a scam.

The site has online been online for 26 days, yet they already claim to have over 18 thousands customers. Despite having 18 thousands customers, there is not a single review or even a single mention of them anywhere online, Reddit, Twitter, Medium, etc.

The majority of their site is plagiarized from here: https://cryptopay.me/bitcoin-debit-card/

I created two orders from different browsers on different IP addresses with different details, and they both gave me the same bitcoin address to send coins to.

Hello!

there is this card where you can use your BTC and withdraw from an ATM anonymously. I would like to order one, but difficult to find information on it.

web site
https://alphacard.me

I am wondering if that could be a scam! Maybe some people here know about it.
thanks Cool
