The recent post, 'Bitmain's Marketing Staff is Brilliant!' by fukuda is a scam!
It links to coindesk.news, instead of the real site (coindesk.com) with a fake article, which then links to bitmaintec.com, instead of bitmaintec
h.com.
On that site you can 'buy' these 'vouchers' and never see your money again (I imagine - there would be no reason for phishing to this depth if it were legit)
These are the addresses they used:
https://btc.blockr.io/address/info/18gP5ahmxzcLx6q8fJUctGbwMDJAAsmXxo (there is 1.78 btc in here, so someone may have already been scammed, or perhaps it was put there by the scammers to supposedly seem legitimate)
But look at address two:
https://btc.blockr.io/address/info/1K79c7ywY4JmqCeS3cXRrnbgV9hg65ASKhThere is nothing in there, and it is for the 8.92 BTC 'voucher', which is more expensive than the 1.78 BTC one. This means the transaction on the other address wasn't a fake to gain supposed legitimacy!
It was a successful scam! Someone has lost 1.78 BTChttps://btc.blockr.io/address/info/1NEYdE4etqwKyEyQdx6aVz2AfdUfNa2m91 - nothing in this wallet either, confirming that
Someone has been scammed with an irreversible transaction to the tune of almost $500!I have messaged the moderators. Tell people as soon as possible, everywhere! We can't let the scammers win!
EDIT: Here's what you can do! Keep replying to this post to keep it right on top. We need people to see this, even if they only see the title, long before they see the scam thread!Update: Mods have removed it.
