Topic: Scam Alert : TimeToBit/timetobit.com Scammed 3.38 BTC - page 3. (Read 15911 times)
Looks as timetobit site is taken down now.
I also have a mining plan at bitcoincloudservices which works perfectly until now ...
Started 1. of July and payout are accurate ever day.
I even got contacted by e-mail an even called by phone when I wanted to change my payout address.
this mining plan works well for one month an a half now ... even respecting the rise of difficulty
for this company you can find on the internet site an address, a phone number and so on ...
if anyone is interested here is my referral URL: https://www.bitcoincloudservices.com/?ref=2249
so far, I'll not invest in any other mining plan until ROI starts for the one I have! :-)
I'll keep you informed about that one as well!

Hi LXBGMiners,
Sorry about your loss and for probably having been right at your first posts in the plan-give-away section. I gave you some doubt over this but I wanted to stay objective.
Around 8 aug. my payments (for 150 ghs) were "pending" for 3 days after which it got paid for 3 days all at once and it continued until 15th. It's still possible that payments will be made but the longer it takes the less likely it becomes. Also having seen their listed address on a possible virtual office space raised doubts for them being legit.
If and/or when this is a confirmed scam I hope the people behind it get caught. At least good to see forensic brings up some info's.
Goodluck.
ps also found some review here of Timetobit:

Dear LXBGMiners,
I found these instructions on the RIPE site:

Dear LXBGMiners,
Very sorry to hear about the huge loss you have incurred.
I am wondering of the scammer's evil genius to have made this really clever scam. I am sure there are may more who have already fallen prey.
I think there is nothing much that can be done, but write to [email protected] reporting abuse form the IP address 95.143.193.61, though I have no idea what he could do.
If there are any Swedish contacts, I wonder - could we push for an official investigation or legal proceedings?

Hi guys,
I'm the 'idiot' who invested into a 10TH/s plan (more or less 23BTC) ...
is there a way I can help?
I found the same IP (95.143.193.61) and all the same information already mentioned in these posts!

There's always RIPE NCC's Facebook and Twitter pages to contact them through :

I can't imagine them NOT having heard of this sort of thing going on before today through THEIR network !

Almost !
Timetobit appear to skip past CoinTerra's use of section : 16. Dispute Resolution And Binding Arbitration
and they also don't have an end section about a "PAYMENT PLAN AGREEMENT" like CoinTerra do.
--- VERY SIMILAR THOUGH ---
Checked out the site betarigs.com, it looks rather ok, their discussion thread on this forum also does not indicate any specific accusations regarding scamming activity...
Paolo Fanton looks like a tech contact.
I'm just wondering now how many bitcoins the creep 'Tony' could have collected by now through his fake cloud mining contracts.. I hope he catches no more fish from this site, but the open and irreversible nature of bitcoin transactions make such scams a constant threat.
Has been a hard lesson to learn!

The [email protected] and also Paolo are just tech contacts at the hosting company.
Sure - but surely they must've heard from UNHAPPY people before today about what seems to be happening right under their noses ? Don't they have a (legal) responsibility to sort it out ?

Looks like Timetobit may not be the only Scam running through there :
