Until the moment they get removed, the scammers have made 5 more clones. It's an unequal fight.
Google also doesn't care much.

The way we have found here was to block all the scammers and phishing sites for ourselves, like, for example, in this older topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/host-file-to-deal-with-phishing-sites-5178198

All of his scam sites can be seen on the reddit channel
https://www.reddit.com/user/funguscutie/
All of his sites are scam sites. Namely, these are fake mixers, and fake qr code generator:

Reddit administration ignores my complaints, just like Chinese domain registrars

@OP what's your expectation after reporting that's site? We're not a Sundar Pichai aka CEO of Google, so there's no one have full control to ban the whole scam crypto site after you report it here.

That's a wrong assumption by OP we have tagged scammers, create flags, and posted countless posts on how to trace and fight scammers, but this forum can do so much, there are really a lot of people whose motivation is greed and to make money and easily swayed by constructive words to deceive people.
The problem is the case has been brought by @OP the website doesn't have an account in this forum who's promote that site, it's just a random site and not popular among Bitcoin enthusiasts. Also there's no prove if those sites have been scammed anyone, he just accuse the site which using Russian domain is scam. Nothing more.

It’s a pity, I thought that the crypto community would somehow help get rid of scam sites, maybe someone has a good reddit account to publish my first post on reddit in bitcoin or cryptocurrency groups.  Roll Eyes

Why did you remove the content from the OP post?
The community has made countless efforts to educate and raise awareness about scams, but it's ultimately up to individuals to conduct their own research and exercise caution when dealing with suspicious websites or investment opportunities. Everyone has their own approach to addressing this issue, and it's not a given that one specific approach is better or should be followed by all.

It is when it's too late that they only do their research so they have themselves to blame for why they got scammed, I always advise my friends who are starting to invest to never too hurry to invest always ask, and always research, scams are everywhere.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
Why edit the OP content?
For your information, we have many years ago started to detect some phishing sites, compile them onthe local board, add them periodically and describe how it works carefully. It takes longer to expect people to care about reporting those sites, but I think spreading the word about them is also a form of fighting them.

Crypto Swap Exchange
It is clear that the crypto community does not want to fight the scam, sadly.

I personally believe that you are right and that these mixers and exchangers are scams, except bitcoin-qrcodegenerator.com. I'm not sure why you put him in this group and for what reason you think the registry should shut down this domain.
also, domain deletion by the registry does not work exactly as you imagined. so if 50-100 people would report bitcointalk.org as a scam development, and there is certainly a sufficient number of frauds that have taken place here, this domain could easily be shut down.

you deleted the first post, but it should serve as a warning for some new potential victims. although he would have to present all the facts related to that fraud and some evidence about it.
I don't know where you're from, but maybe it's better to try to look for the owner of those domains through the official authorities. the registries most likely have his personal data.

what do you suggest to do with these 800+ fraud sites? and that is only a small part of how many there are.
in the end, that scammer invested about $50 for the registration of those domains, even if they are banned, with the new $50 he will start all over again and maybe you will believe in his services again.

Yes, perhaps we can report it to Google as well:

https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en

Or send email to this one:

You can also do the same for this youtube channel, https://vidiq.com/blog/post/report-youtube-channel/#how-to-report-a-channel-on-you-tube
When I do it alone, they ignore me, I need to complain en masse, 10-20 at least different complaints  Embarrassed
