Bitcoin Forum

I have not been able to get my earned bonus and they have not responded to any of my inquires.

Does anyone have any info on them?

Hi there CanaryInTheMine,

That operator is not known to Bitcoin Police as a scammer.

If it is of any assistance, the domain has been registered for at least a year to :

Registrant:
   MemePod
   3110 13th Street NW
   Washington, DC  20010-2408
   US

   Registrar: DOTSTER
   Domain Name: BITCOINBONUS.COM
      Created on: 15-DEC-10
      Expires on: 16-DEC-11
      Last Updated on: 16-DEC-10

   Administrative, Technical Contact:
      Duane, Darrell 
      MemePod
      3110 13th Street NW
      Washington, DC  20010-2408
      US
      202 667 8728
      202 667 5392

Note that the domain registration expires in December of this year, in my experience it is remiss of a diligent site operator to let domains near less than 6 months from registration expiry to ensure consumer confidence.

This is of course no smoking gun and i recommend you contact the above registrant and attempt further communications with the operator through your existing means. If no response is obtained in a reasonabke time, please feel free to contact the Bitcoin Police in our freenode irc channel #bitcoin-police or via email at reports@bitcoinpolice.org. our website http://bitcoin.crimeunit.com has information on known scammers and scams as well as other info you may find useful.

Cheers

number is not in service...

CanaryInTheMine,

Interesting - the administrative contact given for the site is listed as Darrell  Duane who would seem to operate a Drupal Specialist internet company MemePod.

His other contact details would appear to be found at :

Fatdoxality.

Still nothing...

I believe they are a sponsor on the bitcoin show

lol, the Bitcoin Police. I checked out your site linked and it recommends I get a plumber in Winnipeg.

Let me see your badge!

I think whoever was hosting MrTiggr stopped paying for his domain.

He just knocked on my door, I snapped a picture of him with my cell phone:

Well... this bitcoinbonus does appear to be a scam...

nothing. no replies, no bitcoins.

how do I get this info sticky so that other miners do not get ripped off?

Did you contact the Bitcoin Police?

how do I do that anonymously?
