Topic: Scams Bitcoin Mixers List and Services closed - page 2. (Read 2687 times)

Somehow it seems to me that both Whirlwind and Sinbad have a problem with DDoS attacks at the same time, smells as if everything comes from one kitchen.


Blockchair says: the Total received 45.22614811BTC - 1,875,270.81USD
Close to 2 million. Really huge money in just two years. I looked at the last few transactions, so almost every week they have a minimum of one incoming transaction.

Considering the very large number of sites, they often start from the beginning, I'm really curious, about how they promote the sites. This must always be very efficient in the short term before fraud is recognized and the domain is eventually blocked.

23 websites will be added to the list
About 15 are annoying Sinbad.io (either with a domain name similar or have copied their design)

How much money a scammer can make?

Here is a scammer in action: BTC address 1HtV8k2Pj4y5bRR1NbjF2uEq8DZjJF2pJk
Received about 45 BTC since ~2020-2021. More than 1 fucking million dollars

Tracking the address, I know he's behind smartcoinmix.com anonymix.cc coinmixer.online and 1-2 others.
I suspect (I'm sure at 85%) he is running the website tezro.com (an all-in-one multi cryptocurrency wallet & secure messaging app for android and apple)

I'm adding whirlwind.space to the list.
When you visit the domain name, you will be redirected to the fake mixer helixlightgrams.com. An old scam.

Scammers started to target the real website Whirlwind.money recently, so be ready to see more phishing URLs

@Bitcoin_Arena Thank you

It's the same scammer behind Bestmixer.me and Bestmixer.site.
This guy is such a dumbass. Unbelievable

---

personnal note

I just discovered another one

coinmixer.pro (Just a copy-paste of the old seized bestmixer.io with even its logos. Some of these scammers are not even trying hard any more Haha) and they are mixing even XRP, TRON, USDT!

They do get downtimes, but the good news is they usually work on processing the transactions, though not usually in a quick manner. The newbie accounts registering in the forum just to make complaints and then later on saying that the issue was resolved might be because the only way to get to cryptomixer publically is through their ANN since there is No twitter or Reddit

This was their update this morning

Hi, there are new fake Bitcoin Mixers (all SCAM) out there:

The fraudsters also use these domains as redirect sometimes to the real bitcoin mixer services, so with this method they try to manipulate and social engineer the registrar support teams of the domain to not get suspended and continue their fraud!

Please beware of these fraudulent SCAM mixers who are trying to steal your cryptos.

Yes I noticed the problems there but knowing how old is [banned mixer], I'm not worry about it.
All mixers can have a technical problem from time to time, but the most important thing is how they handle people question.

People joining the forum only to post their problem, you can see this in any topic.
Since they haven't got a reply to their email, they try their luck here.

However the user TraderBitPa is the kind of account that will edit his post later and include a phishing link, or a blog (full of phishing links)

It looks like there are serious operational issues with [banned mixer]. OP, I saw that you were there, I assume that you are following the development of the situation.
Many complaints about long delays in the withdrawal of funds, and transactions stuck for days.


Okay, that can happen, but what catches my eye are a few newly created accounts, which confirm that the funds have arrived.



It is clear that it is a common phenomenon that people register on the forum only when they have a problem, so this may be the explanation for this occurrence. However, this raises a flag for me for now

Also, a Newbie who comes to "calm down" the matter with praise for [banned mixer] looks like an ordinary shill

Unfortunately, you're 100% correct. You need lots of skills to run a business in the long term. It's much easier to order a cheap website on fiverr, run a campaign on bitcointalk and voila: you can run away with the funds.


What about file system encryption? I've also heard about self-destruct buttons and similar tech to destroy the server remotely. There should be some kind of solution for this.

This leads to two possibilities imo, given the amount of money confiscated each time a service got seized ; either that these platforms put all their money in hot wallets, or that there are unconfiscated funds in cold wallets that no one knows who owns their private keys.
For example, the money that was seized from Chipmixer servers did not seem to me a large amount in view of the size of the service, while huge amounts were seized after the FTX assets were confiscated, and after that we did not hear that its owner was acquiring other assets.
Perhaps it is fortunate for the authorities that even if there are complaints about one of the mixers, they remain in the realm of the anonymity, since no one will venture to reveal his identity after the authorities seize all the assets.

Isn't that the same with any business nowadays: creating a scam site is much easier than creating a real service.

That's because they (have to) use hot wallets for their funds. If the physical server gets seized, the private keys are in there.

I don't know if you have paid enough attention to the post, but this list is exclusive for scam Bitcoin mixers or tumbler. If you have time, then you can create a list of scam exchanges and maintain it


Sorry If I may not be having enough info on this but besides Chipmixer, Which other Bitcoin mixer has had their domain seized along size their funds?

I'm also wondering why the funds are so often seized.

If the owners of the mixer are physically arrested, is it conceivable that if some of the funds are returned they could benefit of a reduced sentence?
Or is it just bad security? Maybe they're too confidant and sure of themselves?

Then I imagine that when governments and agencies decide to devote financial and human resources to investigating a team, it's a safe bet that concealing private keys can be difficult. When you see that in most countries just the fact of refusing to decrypt your laptop (when it is encrypted) can be an avowal of guilt or an aggravating circumstance, you can more or less easily think that mixer owners have good reasons for giving their keys away.

What shocked me the most is the number of scam mixers. And I believe that's just a small fraction of all scams out there. Another shocking thing is that all mixers closed by the law enforcement also got their BTC seized. Why don't they have any protection against these raids? Or were the owners/employees made to disclose login details and wallet passwords?

The cybercriminals residence seems to be in Armenia, you might send a report somehow to the police or gov there.

https://www.bitcoinabuse.com/reports/18vpuWeMMFEZhm5tgxjuTs7aHtwotchPkr - Over 3.5 Bitcoin! got scammed alone in BTC, they got even more in other crypto coins stolen.

Lol. I didn't know that but yeah it seems a good motive not to put them on this list.


Well, I don't think that's such a good reason anymore, since there are meme coins that have been quite successful on the Internet, albeit seasonally.

I didn't know bettercallraul.it

I won't add it to the list since it's a total different business to me, sorry.
You were not mixing your bitcoins but you were swaping them for an altcoin. That's not the purpose of a Bitcoin tumbler and this site has never advertized itself as such (if I'm correct).
All the text on their website about the anonimzation is just a bullshit that they have set up to attract potential customer.

And if you ask me, the website was suspicious since the day 1. Just look at the name. Weird name to choose for a business like this. Better Call Raul, seriously lol? It's a meme from internet

I visited the website this afternoon and noticed the seizure's page. It was a fake one.
They mixed their name with Chipmixer... well, that's the only thing they really mixed here...
If you check now the page is gone, authorities would not do that and would have keep the site alive for longer

(they had a token based on Ethereum blockchain listed on uniswap)

Yeah I just went to see this and indeed, it smells strongly of scam... It's a safe bet that we'll never get a feedback from this team unfortunately! 

Indeed it would be interesting to have some BTC addresses linked to their service to try to see if a big deposit was made (as KingsDen assumed for example tens of BTC or even less) to "motivate" this potential exit scam

It's a pity that it ends like this, it was a nice service, very privacy-focused..
Actions like this damage the whole sector and ruin the confidence of many users. Like you guys, I find it strange not to operate in the normal way and make money like this, I can't understand what they could have gained from it (in case of a big deposit wasn't made).

I don't know if anyone has any feedback on the last transactions made before the site was closed, were they assumed and honest?

Yeah, I also think it was an exit scam given the evidence presented by some members already, but this list is exclusive for Bitcoin mixers/tumblers that are scam or have closed.
If I am not mistaken, BetterCallRaul.it was more of an instant crypto exchange with the promise of making the transactions "untraceable" and not ever asking for KYC verification from its users.

The same question running in my mind. It could be that they recieved one big deposit maybe running to hundreds of btc, who knows?
I have known some situations where projects kick off honestly and with a well defined purpose but in the process of the business some unforseen circumstances will force them out of business thereby making them to turn scam which was not their initial intention.
But for BetterCallRaul, they were given warm welcome and their no KYC system almost attracted me few days ago. So, I don't really understand why they should behave this way.
