Topic: Idmining.com is hellish scammer - page 4. (Read 805 times)

Yup. I had the same assumption - that their account was already fully verified in the higher tier (or highest?) given the big amounts they transacted recently.

At the same time, buying and selling of verified exchange accounts have also been rampant and there are even people who volunteers their identity to be used hence my most likely bet went to the mentioned situation. Ofc, there's also a chance they're dum dums and have actually used their identity or one of their team members.

The fact that they didn't mind giving you the first investment back meant that these scammers are experienced when it comes to social engineering and psychology, they know that when someone sees that they can make money out of the platform because they trusted the platform to give back the money with the profits, I don't know if they coerced you into putting in more but if they do, that's a tell tale sign that it's a pyramid scheme. Also OP, you should know that no matter how grave the offense is, doxxing isn't the way, you're putting yourself and the people that accepts your request in an awkward if not dangerous position even if you offer a reward. My suggestion is that you do it legitimately and talk with the authorities about the identity of these scammers and regarding their identities, even if you were to know it, there's a possibility that they're not from your country.

They smartly use the term Lifetime for their KYC requirements and limits on deposits and withdrawals.

They are shady because they don't publicly tell their users about deposit and withdrawal limits that are related with their KYC levels.

This article How do I verify an individual account? should have link to another article that has information about lifetime limits on deposits and withdrawals or should have that information directly.

That's it and no more detailed information.

OKX began to freeze accounts and set a limit for withdrawals of about $1,000 from the date of creation of the account. Therefore, if there are on-going transactions at that address, they are locked until scammer complete KYC L2.
There is a good chance of getting your money back if you submit an application to OKX with details of what happened and some police or legal data attached.


Unfortunately, they are good at marketing, and these links appear first in Google searches, along with some paid articles.

According to Archive.org Idmining.com was up for sale.

Looking at Whois.com, the DNS settings were changed in February 2023 and the new scammer site popped up.

Quick lookup indicates they're using OKX

For instance, their BTC address has a lot of transactions going to 32BgauNVxn6A8byZtDjPTMLRkHYWGVbjun

and this address is tagged as OKX, see: https://oxt.me/address/32BgauNVxn6A8byZtDjPTMLRkHYWGVbjun

One of their USDT address is also tagged as Okex which is previously OKX, see: https://tronscan.org/#/address/TM1zzNDZD2DPASbKcgdVoTYhfmYgtfwx9R



Their OKX account is most likely not tied with their identity but perhaps you'll be able to freeze (not necessarily recover) some of their coins specially since it does seem like it is actively being used. That is, if OKX cooperates, so yeah, reach out to them.

Thank you for kind words. I think the reason behind such behavior is the greediness. Let's use classical words - I am an idiot. I investigated on the internet before and I found many articles that were backing up this company like this one
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/idmining-launches-cost-effective-cloud-131500225.html. Now I know that these articles were written by scammers themselves. Also in May, idmining had score 4.5 on trustpilot and negative reviews. In the end I think I was too lazy to think more critically, but greediness did the job. I realized that they changed agrement after I bought first 28k contract just to get money from me. I want to find who are these guys.

What I also found is scammers most probably have other sites for scamming people. One of them is Happyminer.us which is now gone and cryptolyi.com the websites have the same tech stack and they use same wallet addresses.

Cloud mining works like a Ponzi scheme that's already a big fact we have already proven that so many times on so many reports here in Bitcointalk and yet so many people do not still know this fact because they failed to do the most important when looking for a platform to invest and that is doing their research, this is why Ponzi scheme are proliferating because they have willing victims.
I'm so sorry for you OP but these scammers are good at hiding their addresses although it's good if one can provide the identities of these scammers.

I'm really sorry for your loss OP! But I can't understand how can, you guys, invest such huge amounts so easily without doing a proper research.
They scammed you for 28k the first time, I can understand that. But didn't you think that something was not right when they asked you to invest another 28k and buy a second contract! Are there anything on their terms saying that you have to do so in order to withdraw your money! I don't think so.

Stawy away. It is a scam. I was looking for a passive income strategies. I purchased the first contract worth USDT 5,800 (a cryptocurrency with a unit value similar to the US dollar), IDMINING initially paid me the so-called daily profits and thus paid me about  4200 USDT. I made all transactions with BINANCE(.)com. I was depositing USDT cryptocurrency directly from Binance(.)com to an IDMINING wallet whose TRC20 network wallet address is TFZHB2H7MuXXNruXvbvVKTSweaj2NxD6LP and BTC wallet 3J46FZi5TAisEgM2Sd6WGNsG9MsBKnj1m1. Later they changed the USDT address to TM1zzNDZD2DPASbKcgdVoTYhfmYgtfwx9R, but unfortunately, I didn't use it for depositing. Satisfied with how things turned out, I purchased another contract worth USDT 28,000. Unfortunately, the ability to withdraw daily profits has been blocked for me. After contacting the support on the scammer's website the same day, they told me that I needed to buy a second contract worth 28,000 USDT and only then would they unlock my account. In the end I bought a second contract and at the same time I wrote to the technical department a request to unblock my account. Unfortunately, despite this request, they said my account's scoring value low and I can't withdraw until my scoring will high again. They nagged me to refer my friends to increase the scoring. It is brutal scam. Stay away. They are blocking withdrawal after you reach some threshold or when you buy a more expensive contract. Then when you ask their support what is going on, they:
-tell you must buy another contract
-ask you to pay a deposit
-ask friends to join a referral program
This is an obvious scam. "Trust"pilot is not reacting to complains. They are flagging truth comments very quickly.

You can read stories of the other people who were scammed:

I pay 1000$ to the person who exposes Idmining scammers or wallets owners with their names and addresses.

Edit 1:

The IDMINING's deposit addresses later changed, although I didn't use them because IDMINING blocked withdrawals on my account. The other scammed people I'm in contact with were using the new addresses. Moreover, the money flow on the crypto chain proves all the mentioned accounts are connected.
