Title: Beware of the scam www.bitcoin-mixer.com (bitcoin-mixer.com)
Post by: M4nfred on September 13, 2015, 09:06:35 AM

I wonder if on Bitcointalk we can organize a rating system of bitcoin laundries to see which are reliable. There are more and more laundry services popping up and most of them are a fraud and it's better to have the laundry services prove themselves or for the sake of users have a full page of laundry services and experiences.

I want to warn for this website: BITCOIN-MIXER.COM

Last wednesday I sent them money but it never reached my wallet. The money as proven in the Blockchain is in their wallet and they don't respond to numerous emails sent on Thursday Friday , Saturday .... I registered to this forum so I can warn people about the robbery taking place on bitcoin-mixer.com.

More succes I had with other mixers. Maybe other posters agree that a single reference for reliable services can be initiated.... question is how this is best implemented (with votes and comments but avoiding fake replies). Anyone ?

Thanks for the heads up. I think there is a reference of those services on this forum.

You can also create a topic here with voting polls in it. I just forgot if newbie account are able to create it. There is also a voting platform which you can use http://coin-vote.com/ hope that helps.

One week later, still no coins from Bitcoin-mixer.com. I sent several amounts to 3 of their addresses. I also sent them email about 5 days in a row without any response. They are a scam and I felt that I needed to inform others for two reasons:

1. I only have 2 BTC left (I am not a new user but went out of the game and when I got back in, BTC was really valueable). For a robbery-site like bitcoin-mixer my coin might be nothing but for me it's a whole lot.

2. Services like bitcoin-mixer.com and alike scammers damage the Bitcoin community because of the mistrust these fraudsters create. I had better experience with other mixers but I am not here to advertise in this topic.

I think a list of reliable mixers is welcome on this forum or perhaps on an independent website. But tested by mulitple registered users and occasionally verified by the maintainer. It's just an idea. Would there be interest?

The site looks like bitmixer.io
I think they even grabbed the opening page of bitmixer.io and use it as their opening page as well
I hope bitmixer.io knows about this

Bitmixer.io does the job perfectly fine; there's really no need to use any other bitcoin mixer service, IMHO.

Also, the quote they have in the homepage... instead of

Code:
"Once you've lost your privacy, you realize you've lost an extremely valuable thing." - Billy Graham
it should be

Code:
"Once you've lost your bitcoins, you realize you've lost an extremely valuable thing." - Billy Graham
.
