Cloud mining sites are usually the same. They first entice you to think that they are genuine making you want to invest more on their scam site. After they had allowed you withdraw you think they are genuine and want to reinvest more money  then they would scam you and start telling you stories of referrals and increasing of level so you could be free to withdraw at any point in time. All these are just their strategic planning to scam people hence I do not bother getting myself involved with anything cloud mining.

I see you have already started the process of presentation of proof that they are scammers. Your transaction hash would be of good help and possibly if you get the money that would be nice but if not that's no problem but as long as you have reported that wallet address, it would be blacklisted and blocked on the exchange and they would not be able to have access to it again.

Was about to address this matter yesterday, but I got a bit swamped.

As I previously said, address digging is not my forte, but if you can provide a transaction ID ["transaction hash"] on the table, I'll see what I can do, or perhaps others can help fill the fields for you. But to do that, we'll need one of the TX ID as that's the first step to begin the trace.

Check your wallet to see the transaction id. Then fill the form as what it is, the input address^{(is your address)}, output address _{(is the scammer's address)}

Now since the scammer use the OKX address directly then that's what you will input there.

They asked to fill in matrices with tokens flow to OKX. It is a little bit complicated to fill this in.

I send an appeal to OKX. I attached statements of the transactions and screenshots.

With these addresses they just use these exchanges' address directly to their platform and the connections between these scam platform and these exchanges like OKX is getting lower.

It would be better if you OP will directly report these to those exchanges, provide screenshots proving they are scammers like the screenshots of asking you another deposit just to withdraw your funds, screenshots of withdrawal page, the deposit address, your transactions using those exchanges.
They might not give you a refund at least the exchanges block their accounts and funds there.

I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise they have different exchange accounts on their hands. See how the BTC's were consolidated/sent to different exchanges:

Try to paste the transaction ID of your bitcoin deposit in oklink.com and see if that exact deposit went to an exchange who are more likely to entertain cases like this. For instance, see binance: https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/how-to-report-stolen-funds-transferred-to-binance-360000006051

I edited my first post and added new addresses.

It might be nice and helpful for others if you can add those new addresses to the opening post where it will have a bigger chance of get read by anyone stumbled upon this thread looking about idmining compared to if it's being slipped into the second page of the thread.

Sorry for your loss, really big loss, this space is full of scammers, but IDMINING scammer beat all other scammers in scamming tactics.

Anyway, I hope you will succeed in your endeavors with OKX exchange, I don't want to disappoint you but I doubt they will respond positively to you, at best they could freeze the scammer money but I doubt they will return the stolen money to you.

In any case, you should keep trying and do not despair, at least if you do not succeed in recovering the money, you may succeed in freezing the scammer account.

I found on their page new addresses allowed for depositing crypto:
1. TJjzBnVLJjbJRic9JhSqRLYWHcyyMjKjrh USDT-TRC20
2. 0xea5796bcf3f2ff15be2369af8c6278df9680d6f8 USDT-ERC20

To level with you, address digging is not exactly my forte, so I can't be a help for this matter, but I think even if an excellent address tracker helped you get to the bottom of the wallet transfer chain, there's a huge chance we still can't pinpoint it to one entity. The pseudo-anonymity of crypto could be a double-edged sword for cases like this, especially for cases like yours where there's no further info we could use as a starting point.

The company is fake, the legal body they mentioned is stolen from others, the IPs are inconsistent [though it's quite obvious it will be]. I think your best shot right now, and it's quite far-fetched, is if you can present your case enough for OKX to freeze the account and reveal the KYC document for that account and filed a criminal complaint toward the user; but like what already presented on this thread, even the KYC itself could be fake and bought, so your filed complaint could still be for nothing.

I don't think I can be much help for you in tracking down to an entity.

Alternatively, and it's also quite unlikely to be realized, if OKX ever replied to you and considered your appeal, maybe you can ask them to "reimburse" you by draining the remaining balance of that user to yours... yeah, as said on the earlier part of this sentence, it's also quite unlikely to be realized.

Thank you for helping me. OKX hasn't responded yet. Do you think there is no other way to track the scammers?

That company is not theirs, "Bitcoin Mining Company, Ltd." registered under "#12145667" has their own website  with a clear statement that it's their one and only website, as well as a clear difference of office address,



While for the image they used, you don't even need to use maps's streetview to prove it, simply typing the address into the search engine will bring you a lot of image to be used; this website, for example,

Yes, I agree they are counteracting. However, the withdrawal functionality doesn't work. When asked why, it's because I need to pay taxes first. Also, they are sending emails with the withdrawal issue restoration from the private Gmail mailbox [email protected]:

Regarding the company registration. When asked them in the chat, they said this is their company: UK’s government website. I think they appropriated this company name and have nothing in common with that company. Regarding the building in Glasgow - my friend lives in the UK and went to check their office. He found nothing interesting there. It's a fake office location. Was the office picture taken from internet? It seems so, here is their "headquarters" in Gmaps:

I managed to trace one IP address from the email headers when sending them emails:

I didn't check their website up to few hours ago so I can't be sure if it's there before or they just recently put it there, but I think they're trying to counteract those wave of scam alert by placing a banner saying their withdrawal issue has been restored. [archived website].

As for the UK fraud police and no response from them, I think that's because idmining is not from UK. So it's not on their jurisdiction. I can't find their company license or their legal name on their website to prove their registration on UK's database --and most certainly I've checked under "idmining" and it returned zero-- but I am somewhat sure they are not headquartered in St. Vincent, UK, because that office building image itself is taken from the net.

I flooded Reddit with scam alerts. I filed reports to the FBI, UK Fraud Police, my local police, almost every antivirus scam form and, of course, to the hosting provider Cloudflare, scammers email provider. I got from them reports receiving confirmation by email. The worst is Cloudflare, they are doing nothing, so I filled a report also to ICANN. Two months have passed now and nothing happened. Maybe one thing is positive, their email provider took down scammers' mailboxes. Now they are sending emails from a private Gmail

Why are so surprised?
Did you file a complaint against the website operators for fraud with your local police or cybercrime?
Did you contact their hosting provider or domain name registrar and tell them how you've got scammed by that website?

Until a few do so nobody will take action since the one who can do something can't act on their own or don't know about it at all!
