Title: SCAM Warning - 6 websites - Ponzi scheme
Post by: examplens on January 13, 2020, 04:31:35 PM
One new user mrso (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2697793) come here and write about how he scammed from one Ponzi scheme. His topic  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5216867.0)
I did a little research on his problem and I find six domains with obviously Ponzi scheme, probably by the same owner.

Scam domains:
dogetitan.com
dogetravel.io
dogeoceans.io
dogemind.com
dogemargin.com
dogeblack.com
DogesCoxe.com

On dogetitan.com is Telegram link to subscription channel https://t.me/dogetitan
there are next to this domain presented also domains dogetravel.io and dogeoceans.io So I guess it is from the same owner because is the very similar script.

There is a paid out page dogetravel.io/paidout.php where is a list of random usernames with the paid amount, obviously fake because he is not linked to the blockchain.
My browser offering a translation of a page from Polish, I guess script editor probably website owner is from Polish.

Nice analysis and research @examplens. Thank you for bringing it up.
There are many newbies here that might fall for them. Hopefully this will help many of us not to be scammed.

Amusingly, the actual company to which that registration refers, BITOCEANS LIMITED (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/12245487), is also a scam.
Its website, Bitoceans.biz, says

Quote
BITOCEANS LIMITED is a private online speculation organization that has been legitimately enlisted in United Kingdom. Our Company Number #12245487. We are a gathering of the gifted money related experts having an abnormal state of information and long haul practice in the venture field.

Investment Plans
You will receive high interest rates from your investment. These are 2.7% to 4% per hourly for 40 hours and 6% to 85 per houly for 20 hours.

....thus continuing the 100% record for any crypto scheme including the word 'ocean' in its name to be a scam. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1527550.0)
