Title: How can a place sell bitcoin for so cheap?
Post by: opentoe on October 10, 2012, 01:36:10 AM
I received an advertisement today about a site that is selling bitcoin for real cheap. 100 bitcoin for only $450. How is this possible? Are these places legit at all? I don't get it.
The site is [censored] and the prices are so damn tempting but usually if it's too good, it is too good to be true.

mod edit: The site's a scam.

And they're buying bitcoin for $7.7 each.  You could make unlimited money buying and selling to them.  ;)

Yeah, I would stay far away if I was you.  Also if I was me, which I am, which is why I won't be buying from them.

If you google them there is a claim that they are the same scammers as mtgax.com (typo squatting) as well as other scams.  If they were real I could buy 100 coins from them and make an instant $500 profit.

The answer is volume.

Also it's a scam.

One word, malware.

The site listed (and that I have purposely not quoted) probably has a wallet stealer.


Avast Antivirus blocked me from viewing the site due to malware.

This has been confirmed to be a scam. See the thread above. They have changed their name several times but their idea is still the same, to steal people's money.
