Hello everyone, I know you guys have seen the "double your bitcoins" scams and there are tons of these sites.

I have been doing my part in getting them shut down and it is simple...

Just do a whois look up of the website.

* do a google search for "whois" and you will find ways to look up the websites. Some of the sites will need special sites to look them up...like the .pw site needed to be looked up by searching "whois .pw" to get the proper form for looking up .pw websites.

Then find the hosting site that the site is hosted from. (in the whois info)

Then contact the hosting company support and report the domain for scamming people.

Most hosting companies will investigate them and then ban them from the hosting and take the site offline. Some will ask you to send an email to their abuse department.

I just reported these sites to namecheap and they should be offline within a few days...

4BTC.PW
doublebitcoins.io
BITCOININVEST.CO

So the next time you find sites like these, do your part and report them and it will at least slow them down.
