Topic: [EDU] List of Bitcoin Scam Sites - page 4. (Read 69065 times)

.onion addresses work somewhat similar to Bitcoin addresses in that they both use a public/private keypair. In order to host a particular .onion website, you will need the private key for that .onion address. Similar to Bitcoin addresses, it is unlikely that two people will generate the same .onion address based on the private key they create, and owners of .onion websites can use a "vanity generator" to create a "vanity" .onion address.

It is my understanding that the amount of resources it takes to generate a .onion address is similar to the amount of resources it takes to generate a Bitcoin address, however if you change the .onion address of your tor website, then you will need to tell anyone who wants to access your website your new .onion address (which creates security issues).

Apologies.

Has this site scammed anything from anyone? I don't know about adding something to this list without them actually stealing something.

I was considering not adding this simply due to it being the customer's duty to be sure that their investments are profitable, however since it seems to be more a case of false advertising and there are multiple references I will add it. Thanks.

Added to the list. Thanks again.

---

Please provide some reference/source for your accusation, preferably in the form of a thread in Scam Accusations and I will consider adding it to the list.

---

Fixed and added. Thank you.

Torwallet is already on this list, however I have added the clearnet addresses of the other two sites to the list with the reference specified. I haven't added the .onion addresses as I was told previously that said addresses change often. Can you confirm this? Thanks.

Please add the following scam sites to this list:

Torwallet.com - onion link: 3hinuo4cve4pdysb.onion
bitcointumble.com - onion link: d5zy5343sr4gonmu.onion
BitcoinCloudMiner.net

reference and explanation for all of the above links

Thank you!

Bitgold is still in pending list , even though you added it to the official one. I recommend adding "Goldmoney.com" too, as It's the new name of "Bitgold.com" . If people googles first , chances that they will search using the new name are higher so It's better to add both names.

Bitport.net Is A Scam Web Site, On 2-Dec-2016 I Requested Withdraw of 2.15472392 BTC (Withdraw Request #1107 Date 02.12.2016 18:35), But This Withdraw Request Was Stuck As Pending Day After Day, Despite BTC Transfer Everywhere In General Takes Only Minutes.

I Complained Via Bitport.net Support System, Support Ticket (SQ16120040356), Though, My Complain Messages Got No Responses. After Updating My Support Ticket (SQ16120040356), Threatening To Publish Bitport.net Scam Action On Internet Web Sites Specialized In Publishing Crypto Currencies Consumer Experiences, I Finally Got Response That Bitport.net Suffers Technical Problems Which Results In Delay In BTC Transfer, With Promise To Transfer My BTC Amount Within One Day.

On 7-Dec-2016, My BTC Withdraw Request Was Set To Completed But The Transferred BTC Amount Was Only 1.18 BTC Instead of The 2.15472392 BTC, Furthermore, The Remaining Amount of 0.97472392 BTC Was Not Even Returned To My Currencies Balances On Bitport.net.

I Updated My Support Ticket (SQ16120040356), Reflecting The Missing 0.97472392 BTC Amount, BUT Only On 9-Dec-2016 I Got Strange Response Stating “Bitport.net Have Technical Problems And Customer Have To Wait Until This Is Solved To Receive Their BTC Amounts” Without Giving Any Promise Date.

On 9-Dec-2016 17:58, I Started Publishing This Scam Action From Bitport.net On Web Sites Specialized In Publishing Crypto Currencies Consumer Experiences, & Updated My Support Ticket (SQ16120040356) On Bitport.net Support System, Providing The Web URL Showing The Publishing of My Experience With Bitport.net, As Proof That I Am Serious In Publishing Bitport.net Scam Action On Internet Web Sites Specialized In Publishing Crypto Currencies Consumer Experiences.

As Response To My Action of Publishing My Experience With Bitport.net, On 12-Dec-2016 I Discovered That Bitport.net Erased My Account ([email protected]) From Their System, Inclusive All Sell/Buy/Deposit/Withdraw Transactions & Fund Balances & Know-Your-Customer Documents/Information & Support Tickets & etc...

I Am Working Now On Filing Case At BBB, FBI ICCC, FTC, eConsumer.gov, Against Crypto Currencies Trade Web Site Bitport.net, As They Confiscated 0.97472392 BTC of My Balance.

I support this member. Genesis Mining should definitely be on the list to remove doubt to people who are new to bitcoin mining. Many websites still  promote it as a legit company, but a few websites have exposed it as an unethical company, e.g.

1.  https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@wisdomx44/scam-alert-do-not-invest-in-genesis-mining

2.  http://kipicommunity.org/genesis-mining-review-is-it-profitable-to-mine-with-genesis-mining/

Looks like it.After checking out the site thoroughly,I figured out the site is poorly designed for running a hardware selling business.And the suspicious part,only one address is staked with a pub key to send money to
Possibly run by an individual and not the team as displayed on the site.If I was you,I'd dare not to send any bitcoins to that address.

anyone confirm that bitmanusa.com is a scam?

100 BTC

did you have money in your wallet??

recommend you add these scams to http://BitcoinScammer.com

Thanks for all the work you put into this guys...very helpful !

You should add Genesis-Mining.com

It is a confirmed scam / fraud (check my thread if you are unsure we have plenty of testimonies) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12482453

Both websites you guys mentioned are ponzi schemes and as OP said in the notice :

"I have removed any obvious ponzi sites (E.G "Double your bitcoins in 2 days") from the list and they will not be added; everyone should already know to avoid these and adding them will only unnecessarily inflate this list. Faucets will also not be added to this list."

So he won't be adding them any time soon.

I'd like to add in 3dayinvest.com SCAM !!! deposit $5 ... can't withdraw

I'd like to add btcrocket.biz and btcrocket.net (those two are the same) because I didn't find it in the list on page 10, I'll be posting pics for reference but here's the thing:

I've deposited minimum to test it out, after a few days, tried to withdraw, withdraw pending for a few days, support is not answering. Also I've accidently typed .net instead of the .biz that I've tested and the same page came out, everything's the same but the database is different.

Adding scam reference for btc-casino.io

Note they also go by bitcoin-casino.io

Im not saying that they arent scammers.. I dont know... But this may have happened because this user is POSSIBLY scammer coinurl by fraudclicking. Just saying, people dont get paid by google adsense quite often and its usually because they bot their ads and fraud click them to get fake traffic aka steal revenue. I have gotten payouts from coinurl in the past, I will attempt to find proof although I am not sure if I can or not.
