So Otillio1330 lost his bitcoin payment because GOOGLE served him an ad to a crypto scammer site???
I tested it, it's privnote.co that is mangling the addresses, another scam site.
Wow. Seems like there could be recourse for a small-claims case against Google, to me. Doesn't that make them accessory to the scam???

Holy chickens.
I remember something like this happened before and it was related to a scam site with a similar name.
If this is the real privnote.com it's either an inside job and the whole thing is compromised or a hack.
Thanks for the info, I'll try it out right now.

Edit: Yes exactly that's was the name of the scam site that does this to BTC addresses.Hey man I just double checked it. It’s privnote.co

Damn! I'm sure you clicked the google sponsored ad on google search instead the legit site when searching "privnote". Haha fuck they got me. Yep I’m an idiot. Thanks guys!
Are you using a mobile phone? Or desktop one. I suggest you to use ad blocker on desktop browsers and use firefox/brave or other browser that has built-in ad blocker.
Also, bookmark the site if possible.
Edit: reported the site to google.

Check your browser history to confirm which site you used. I just tried the legit privnote and it worked fine.
This is why I have been using zerobin.net and even more so, just use PGP

Also this may not belong in collectables, but it’s the only part of the forum I frequent. Sorry if it needs to be moved.
Wow, doesn’t that mean it has to be an inside job from the people that developed the website ?
Hello, everyone. Todamant, and I have discovered, or maybe it was already known, an interesting issue regarding privnote. I sent him a btc address on privnote to make a payment for some cards. The address I sent is not the address he received. So I double checked and sent the same address to myself through privnote, and what I received is not what I entered. I have done this now with multiple wallet addresses, every time the decrypted privnote gives a different address than what you put in. Todamont has confirmed the same thing happens when he does it with a wallet address as well.
I dont know why I sent Todamont my address on privnote, as I have never done that before. I may have just been tired. But the loss on this is minimal, and if I can keep someone else from making this mistake I’d be happy about it. Anyway you guys try it out and confirm, or let me know just how dumb I am for not already knowing this.
