If the cash is in Russia now good luck trying to get it back.
And he is probably keeping these "winnings" from OP and other people that didn't had even basic knowledge about Bitcoin security. It's an easy bet with pretty high odds.

I hope other people will learn from your mistake. Thank you for posting this, but unfortunately those BTC will not be recovered

soon. People hosting these scams, move quickly when they hit a jackpot like this. I would suggest that people do a test tx

first, before they move their coins. This will prevent situations like this in the future. You will only lose the test run coins and

not your whole hoard.  Roll Eyes
Going by the date and timing of his transaction, I noticed some desperation to catch up with the BCC timing and bonus, that must be one reason he was unable to think twice, but 45BTC actually calls for double checking no matter what. It's quite pathetic the internet is full of wolves in sheep clothe. I think you really need to report the site if you really care about another victim falling into their trap!

Good work xdev.  A similar thing happened with etherium holders who were tricked into signing up for a fake myetherwallet domain.  The real address is myetherwallet.io but the phishing site was a dotcom. 

Lol...A Newbie with just one post count warning us is a laughable venture especially since it has to do with clarification on a website address. I really don't think he gave the genuine site address. People, be guided. By the way, the Electrum wallet for Android is now up and running. Its crash almost panicked me. Sigh...

Uhm, I might be new to the forum. But I've been around long enough to absolutely hate scammers.

My intentions are good and I've reported the information I have to OP. Its up to him what he wants to do with it.

Why am I not surprised the thief is from Russia? Call me whatever you want but really a lot of these scams originate from there.

If you can, please make this a sticky , people NEED to be warned and i need to find someone to recover 150kusd and get 75kusd for it (Relative to current BTC + BCH prices )

I got robbed of 45.8 BTC (and BCH so total = 150000$) after installing the executable from electrum-wallet.com.

I was running multisig but both on the same PC. First i ran the portable electrum.exe from  electrum-wallet.com but when it did not load my wallets *NOTE : the ones that had BTC in them ,it loaded just fine any other wallet ) - I don't want to hear opinions on my stupidity

After it didn't work i downloaded last version of electrum from electrum.org

I'm wondering how the F is it possible that after 2 years of this thread no one has taken down and/or announced the US. authorities fbi etc about it.

I'm in Romania and have no wish to deal with this legally, which will probably get me nowhere.



I  am willing to split the rights on the BTC with whoever is capable of recovering them via detective+legal means.

This is the transaction : https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/78d44db46445d3097996fc644c1221eeead31added5c35cf1b7938737e3b49db


As i said , I don't want to hear opinions on my stupidity, this is mostly a warning and hopefully a way for someone to make a healthy 75000$.

thanks for the warning op. maybe ill be more carefull about what im downloading from now on.  and ihope more people being read this not to ignore to be help them as a warning.

Fucking idiots can't be fixed.  You are going to hear about your stupidity whether you like it or not.  Idiot.

Don't be too harsh man, Everyone feels really bad and I know what's his feeling right now. Very big amount compared on my loss from gambling and trading. He's a victim of a phishing link these people are completely lazy fags.

Try reporting to FBI or something.
Call. Contact host. Maybe you can reach out to an international lawyer.
Possible that contacting the host will help you out but make sure that you will have proper documents and other stuffs for it. FBI? They can help too I guess.

Edit:
Props to this man

Best thing that you can do in regards to this matter is to coordinate with whoever provides hosting for the said site and tell them that if they don't provide any personal information about the hackers, they can get into legal trouble. As much as you want to avoid that route, that will be the only way you can go to right now.

I googled the site on www.who.is and www.scamfoo.com and surprisingly no case about fraud has been reported concerning the site so far. That means it is business as usual for the scammers as the public hasn't been alerted of their scams. No bad publicity or review yet.

This is one of the attack places that isn't used very often but could get a lot of people. Brand new coins, people don't trust those wallets, people don't trust those coins actual code itself, brand new websites people don't trust those, but generally a wallet for Bitcoin itself gets a decent amount of trust right off the bat without any sort of Open Source or anything.
