Yeah its pretty convincing actually with the websites and Bitpay. Glad I didn't get suckered into this.

I almost got caught into it ! Was scanning the QR code and noticed the BTC price at $434. I guess i'm to wishful for competition with Bitmain. If we wish to keep this decentralized we need serious hardware innovation from the west.   


Too late,the only hope BTC has for decentralization is that the corp miners miners die off due to wear & tear & they have nothing to replace them with...like that'll happen anytime soon  Roll Eyes

Huh, they even went as far as to use a duplicate of BitPay's payment windows. It's static but it looks somewhat convincing. I'll go ahead and notify BitPay.

So the spoof is the .co -vs- the .com domain?

Very complete replica........

I've sent it to Guy, he can contact the domain registrar directly.

The scam is the criminal behind this is trying to steal bitcoin by creating fake ads for an "SP45 Newton" miner and hoping he fools someone into buying and paying with bitcoin. So far the fake ads for the SP45 have appeared on three cloned websites, probably more to come. If you visit the legit Spondoolies-Tech.com site you will discover there is no such miner for sale. In fact Spondoolies has no miners for sale at all at this time.

Scam is back up at http://spondoolies-tech.co/.

One more scam site hosted at Namecheap, that makes three so far. Whoever the criminal is sure seems fond of using Namecheap to host his scams.

They're at it again, now advertising on serious-looking websites.

These phishing thieves are cloning websites and setting them up at Namecheap using similar domain names. Note the impostor has two L's in the name. "Sillicon" instead of Silicon.

They are targeting Wordpress sites because there are tools out there to easily clone WP sites and so far are using Namecheap for domains and hosting. I think they are using Namecheap because they are ignoring my demands to take down the impostor site.
Have you contacted their host and registrar?

From their whois:

Registrar Abuse Contact Email: Email Masking [email protected]
Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +1.4252982646

Also their host is Namecheap as you said. You can file Hosting & Legal and Abuse reports with them here.

Also if anybody has a contact there, you should tell siliconangle.com do the same.

I let the editor at siliconangle.com know of the hack. I spent $200 filing a takedown request with DMCA only to be told the hosting company ignores the DMCA. I do not think Namecheap gives a shit.

Looks like the fake website was removed. Getting a DNS error accessing it now

Not quite. You can still access the clone at http://btcmedia.net/index.html

I have a takedown order in with DMCA so should be taken care of within a day or so.
