Title: ALERT: Bitcoin-Income.com - Be Aware of Potential Fraud
Post by: dmatthewstewart on May 10, 2015, 10:51:38 PM
Hello everyone,

In the past, I have alerted the community to possible scams/pyramids like OurBeks.com; a company that promised daily interest rates that were just not possible.

Well, here we go again. New site. New Name. Same promises. And, verbatim, the exact same FAQ that was cut and pasted from the old OurBeks.com (before they took everyone's money and closed shop)

The site is bitcoin-income.com

Now, just like OurBeks did, they will pay out for a little while, even be very active and attentive with customer service. Then once they build up trust, people make larger deposits, and then they cash out leaving you with nothing!

So, as a test I made a public address and a small deposit. They will pay out. Its too new not to pay out.

https://blockchain.info/tx/b43e8339dafe79d8ec2fc02ca315d482e279134252223cb6bf141acce85c56d5

They need the trust from the community to succeed in ripping everyone off. And if they are legit then they need to earn our trust. First of all, how about not having a private registration on their site? No other investment firm or brokerage house, or single broker hides their identity. I have a few ideas as to how they can do that but I can guarantee that upon contacting them they will refuse every idea (more on that at a later time)

Heres the first small deposit. remember, they are guaranteeing to pay me a daily interest of 3%. But of course, they will hold it for 10 days. (This is also just like OurBeks. The withdrawal fee was equal to about 7-8 days worth of your interest. So you really needed to leave the deposit for 9-10 days before you "earned" anything)

Anyone familiar with the old OurBeks site (and I believe I screencapped and did a FreezePage on that site; I'll have to look on my other computers) will notice that they didnt even try to correct their poor English from the old site.

Before more people get ripped off I think we need to call them out. Alert everyone that they are bogus. If they arent bogus then they can contact me directly and I will help facilitate a brief transparent and legally binding framework so that they can operate smoothly with our trust. They watch these forums and they also set Google alerts. So they will see this.

-D

PS - I already know that its the old OurBeks. With the right tools this stuff isnt hard to figure out. I dont get all my steady work as freelance journalist and investigator out of thin air

It is just another HYIP/ponzi that claims to make incredibly high profit from trading when it is clearly impossible. 3% a day means not seem much, but on compounding it will be 48482.7x a year.
Whenever you see such "investment opportunity", you just need to ask yourself how can someone make so much profit, and why will he need your investment if he is so good.

Thank you for the heads up, I have invested a small deposit as well, It does indeed sound TOO good to be true, 60 days 4% daily profit, that's 240% profit plus your bitcoins back... They bought me over with all the info they provide about their company but I will not invest anymore.

But please keep us updated on this topic, I am interested in seeing what else you can find.

I have the same issue... I quess nobody imagined that the API will not work and the ponzi will end so soon :)) Anyway as a rule: don't invest more than you can afford to loose.

Look at this text from the site:

Jun-10-2015 05:03:05 PM
As you know, we use Blockchain.info as a partner and provider of API service. Unfortunately, incorrect work of Blockchain.info causes certain crashes with deposits in our project at the moment. Earlier this week, we have faced with instability of the automatic payments and we stopped to get your investments.
The system works as follows: to make a deposit you should to generate a temporary transit address and send bitcoins to there. This address contains important information about your deposit (your username, the amount of the deposit and the selected investment plan). After coming of bitcoins to the transit address Blockchain.info should send them to the address (wallet) of Bitcoin Income project. But because of the API failure bitcoins are not sent and still are on transit addresses. This means that money is not available to trade and we can't use these funds (because we did not get them).
We know that Blockchain.info is solving the problem and hope they will do this as soon as possible. You can follow current news through official Twitter account of Blockchain.info: https://twitter.com/blockchain/status/608278475259002880
Because we stopped trading temporarily we're unable to meet commitments and pay profits in full. We are not completely sure that payments will be made correctly by Blockchain.info and you will get your profit. So from now you will be able to see all the accruals of profit in your account but you cannot withdraw them while Blockchain.info will fix the problem. We hope such problem will be solved soon.
Now you can make investments because they will be deposited as soon as the automatic payment system will work.
We bring our deepest apologies for the inconvenience, this is not our fault.


Seems to me a google translate and it doesn't make any sense... Why do they stopped trading? What trading has to do with Blockchain?

Post by: EXoR on June 12, 2015, 10:25:59 PM
I did invest (even when i know it's ponzi) few small amount of btc, exactly 0.005BTC with short-term 100% compound, it did smooth and support was always possible. Did 2 days later invest 0.001BTC for long term with 100% compound, and it encountered with blockchain api issue so it didn't got delivered. What blockchain claims is it SHOULD deliver automatically if it was send, days did pass and blockchain api got fixed (not meaning the big maintenance of blockchain, in june 09 they got a new blockchain API latency issue) in june 12 it got fixed, but bitcoin-income doesn't seem to come up in support chat, nor do they or are they reachable because it keeps saying 9 people ahead of me, another time i go and says 23 people which seems FAKE because untill 2 days ago i contacted them 3-4 times, and NEVER saw this kind of message appear front of my screen.


ponzi scheme, still feeling bad for my small deposit ouch, i'll update my post if there do change anything.

Bitcoin-income.com seems to take it's first move with ponzi-scheme, thanks to blockchain api latency issue they got benefit from it and shutdown it.


They DID mention it should automatically register into account any deposit once it is confirmed, yet it got confirmations and blockchain fixed their issue but they seem to not yet claiming they got any payment.

Beware, don't invest more than you can afford to lose, i invested 0.006BTC in total and did loose it, if changes appear, i'll EDIT my post.

Thanks and hope my post did help you.

You can report them at UK police as I did:

They can stop this scam until others invest more money there.

Wait, 80BTC? so you're depositing 80BTC? you do know that this is totally ponzi? anyone can grab a company Id name, and can clsoe anytime. That thing to make it a real company just costs i dunno somewhat like getting them few percentage of earnings to them to be counted as a legal company, although nothing is legal, you shouldnt trust anything standalone.

You said you did gave 80BTC, because of you this site will run a little more, earlier investors will get their profit with small mBTC transactions, and you will be left without any profit, just -80BTC from your wallet. Earlier investors will do profit by RISK, if you hadn't deposited 80BTC, we all would for sure loose our mBTC or some with BTC. BUT what i blieve is they will run if u did gave them 80BTC because duh, 3BTC someone else here said he lost, and you 80BTC, if i was you guys, i would never deposit there. However, i do try aprilcoin.com which is more safer but is a ponzi too i believe, i just did put there 10$ of btc, let's see what happen, you should give 80BTC (in case you love to take ponzi risks) to aprilcoin.com rather than bitcoin-income.com


RIP 80BTC + 3BTC guys.

80BTC dang too much pff
