[SCAM] bitcoinmixer.info - page 2. | Bitcointalksearch.org

What happened:

I tried to use the mixer service at bitcoinmixer.info, but the amount didn't arrive at the destination address. I used the contact form to file a question, and got a response from a gmail address. In order to solve the issue automatically, it said, I should send additional BTC 0.1 to a given bitcoin address. D'uh. I never got the amount back.

Please be cautious if you decide to use this “service”!

Amount Scammed:

Email conversation:

When the amount hadn't arrived at the destination three days later, I sent a message through the contact form on the site:

On July 13 I attempted to mix some bitcoins (0.15) through your service, but they never arrived at the destination. At the time I noticed that the bitcoin address mentioned at the input “window” was different from the address presented by the QR-code, but I told myself it was just the difference between a normal and a compressed address. In hindsight I can see I was wrong. I can most likely find the transaction on blockchain.info. How do we preceed from here so that I get my bitcoins?
Cheers, Klaus

And a day later I received this reply:

Hello!
You probably do not correctly identify the Destination Address.
We see that not enough a single character.
But since we have automatic mixing program, you must send at least a minimum of mixing (0.1 BTC) and your wallet number that I could re-introduce you to the program.

You need to send at least 0.1 BTC this wallet:

Thank you for using our service.

Are you telling me to send more bitcoins to a service that still hasn't forwarded the bitcoins I already sent to it?

You say I didn't correctly identify the destination address. Not so. I copied it verbatim to the input field of your service. And surely your service checks if input is a valid bitcoin address before it proceeds, and alerts the user if it is not valid, doesn't it? So surely I would have received a warning if the destination address was invalid.

Please tell me why the bitcoin address shown in plain text and the bitcoin address in the QR field are different. Shouldn't they be the same?

Here's the transaction from my address 1MoBi7mJKSRUVzjQFgPvYmtP8Y58L5EALY to the address shown in the QR code on your site: https://blockchain.info/tx/9a8eb1724b20a43bc081e7aff9b135d2853d2da43ad1ecafc946aeafeba53ce2

I'd be happy if you would just return the bitcoins I sent you.

I never heard from the guy again.

It doesn't seem any people here have any experience with this “service” yet. However there's a recent thread started by a newbie that lists bitcoinmixer.info as its first link:
