Post by: asriloni on September 12, 2016, 10:29:41 AM US address could be easily generated by fakeaddressgenerator,and having US address in their WHOIS data or being inserted in their website doesn't mean it's really registered in US! and most of HYIP and PONZI even listing their address in 1st tier country in order to gain more trust so people could be interested in joining the site and say "well it's from 1st world country,people there are so trusted" what a BS

And I thought scammers are often using U.K Register House or similar. I initially believe 10% above market price is acceptable since the receiving end is Paypal and you are being paid for the risk. The recycled address set alarm bells ringing. Title: Re: New U.S registered site - PowerBTC.com - let you earn 10% above mkt price. Post by: amacar2 on September 13, 2016, 03:00:04 PM There is no reason to trust what they said as first thing which alarms something is fishy is 10% above market rate and also that anonymous word. No on can provide bitcoin to paypal service because paypal strickly prohibits bitcoin related transactions.
However i have seen them in several bitcoin and finanace related sites even in yahoo finance. So are those paid ads/article/press release or do they really verify the legitimacy of the company before posting any article? ???

This your discovery alone is enough for you to know that the site is a scam and they often track your ip address that is why your btc deposit address will never be changed, definitely it is been operated by one person.

Interesting theory. What's the point of them tracking IP address? Title: Re: New U.S registered site - PowerBTC.com - let you earn 10% above mkt price. Post by: swogerino on September 15, 2016, 01:30:03 PM From the headlines it seems like another hyip ponzi scheme. But when some one mentioned that they were waiting for paypal to be paid out to them that just seems like a double fail. ::)

For me any flag whatsoever from any site after my review search is a no no and nothing will make me go for it. Title: Re: New U.S registered site - PowerBTC.com - let you earn 10% above mkt price.
