Title: MININGUNITED SCAM!!!!
Post by: Broskev on May 22, 2013, 04:36:43 PM
Hello guys, I was scammed by MiningUnited.com. I sent them 0.2 BTC to make some more coins and they posted on their website, that their business was cancelled by US and all refunds will be sent. I didn't get anything and they don't answer on e-mails.

Not much one can do about that.

I lost 0.05 BTC, too.

Lesson learned. I'll stay away from anything that promises me to give me more money back than I invest in it.

Isn't that the definition of a investment?  Getting back more than you invest in?

..more like stay away from "investments" that offer ridiculous returns with little to no explanation on how they are paying said returns.

We had two big topics with warnings here while they were active.
Damage is done, I doubt you will be able to get the BTCs back.

There are similar sites to this though, so stay away from those.

In the long run. But as my preposter said: getting up to 30% return within a week is just ridiculous.
