Topic: I was scammed from a blockchain fake app :( (Read 3444 times)

Thanks for the warning, it's very kind of you.

  Not really   in the exact words of a Blockchain email  Confirmation Required
An attempt has been made to login to your My wallet account from ip address 80.243.180.98. Enter the confirmation code below to access your account. If it was not you who made this login attempt you can ignore this email.   This ip address took me for 17 Bitcoins as it says if not me that attempted i can ignore the email  ...   yeah right thanks Blockchain  

i wouldn't say best Blockchain lost 17 BTC of mine last December after that Joehoe hack they was supposed to pay everyone back that lost coins and the idiot support staff asked for my wallet id and password over support ticket and someone messaged support acting as me and got my refund  6k  i lost

If you see this programme and your common sense will think that this is original

Why are you suprised? Millions of people are using 123456 as their main password or words like: sex, password, letmein etc. Scammy bitcoin apps are the holy ground of the evildoers.
When you can steal people's btc with ease without problems with fake wallets and apps it is only natural that more malware like that will be created. Nothing can replace common sense and sane brain.

because it is for free 

coins are not safe on a phone from an average joe. they will be hacked.

i am impressed how people are using those programs so easily and dont even check if its not fake, why people dont save their information and money at all?

very many applications as it is, but everything is just a hoax, so from now beware 

i think they have take the open source of the blockchain.info wallet and they have create a new scam wallet

Doesn't Amazon vet their vendors? That's ridiculous.

So the guys software, the "wallet" you downloaded, it came ready to use, with private keys, that Bitcoin.developer also possesses?

Is that how it worked? Or do you think it just took every deposit and sends it to Bitcoin.developer's mixer?

No offence OP but that scam is beautiful in its simplicity

careful also against with phishing, a lot of incoming email on behalf blockchain

they have remove the apps from amazon app store

i give them an answer to understand the problem


and finally they sent me an email and they say that they have underastand that this app was a scam and will resolve this matter asap.



they have give me and 5 euros for the next order
so for all of this something good has happen and i dont say about the 5 euro credits but about the remove of bitcoin scam app from their store

Luckily you have been scammed only for 0.001 BTC.
that's definitely not lots of money, roughly 0.27 cents.
However it was a good idea to report this publicly.
I can see blockchain.info is now aware of the issue
as they replied to your reddit post.
Good luck with busting scammers.
They seem to be everywhere!
Some days ago I mistyped blockchain.info URL and as a result I was led to a coinbase referral link!

in amazon app store is the only bitcoin wallet there! I think something good will came from this and will to better quality control especially for bitcoin in the future 

It is funny and sad they they are not even remotely checking apps. It is paradise for bitcoin scammers: create fake wallet, put fake info about developer with some randomly generated gmail address and you are free to steal people's coins. But you brought this upon yourself really, they are many good wallets listed on bitcoin.org (for Android):Copay, Airbitz Bitcoin Wallet, Bither, Bitcoin Wallet, Hive, Mycelium, GreenAddress, Coinomi Universal Wallet, Ninki - all these apps are tested and proven safe. 

Did anyone know the official blockchain customer email to sent a report to them about the situation? I have contact them through reditt but i like to contact them and more official. This is very scammy and break the reputation of this company. The other point is how poor is the quality control to upload an app to this stores. They upload an app to amazon with the comunity bitcoin.org site as their company site!!
I dont know if the email is from the bitcoin developers

I have a reply from amazon cusstomer support and i think even them they didnt know what they do with this. this is the answer

The strange is that they tghought that bitcoin.org is the developers site..

You should be happy that you didn't get burnt by losing a larger sum. It's definitely a good idea to warn the community & tell us about your misfortune but I'd be thanking the Lord above that I didn't lose a significant sum.

Sorry to hear what happened to you but you are also lucky in a way it was such a small amount. My advice would be to stop downloading so many different wallets on different devices. Pick 2 or 3 & stick with them, it's just too risky any other way.

Best of luck in the future.

now i have to look my wallet that is not affect it with anything malicius.
