What happened:

- Searching for a reliable mixer to perform security research I discovered Atobmixer via Google.
- I cross-referenced the URLs on a number of websites including this forum and found nothing obvious indicating a scam.   
- I clicked "start mixing" and entered a new Wasabi Wallet receiving address into the form.
- I sent the funds to the address provided and received the MP2C code: SQEEHP
- I checked the Check Mix link on their website using the MP2C code several times, status is "Waiting For Funds"

Additional Notes: Careful here, I was tricked mostly because of the few sources I checked including this respected forum, I noticed the ATOBMIXER ADMIN user frequently posting in response to user issues.  This gave me the perspective that this was a well-supported tool with a helpful.  If you look more closely you can see that these posts seem not to resolve but just provide the appearance that issues are being handled.  An interesting social aspect to this scam. 

Sorry about losing your money. I tagged them earlier today when i realized that they  had scammed you and another guy and were not returning your money.

Can you please open up a newbie/guest trust flag against them using this link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;addflag=2726873.  Be sure i will help you support it.

If you could click on the trust of the user then you could avoid trading with that person as the person had already 2 negative trusts from DT.
