Title: SCAM penguinxmixer.io yet another new scam
Post by: coboguard on May 04, 2020, 09:40:27 AM
Today I found again a new site which claims to mix your coins it is: penguinxmixer.io is yes it is a scam why ?

Because as we can see below the bitcoin address has several transactions present:

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1Q3JtzMGHdtdNy7DgHYVZgCC1yXz7EjEWQ

Already more than 0.35661701 BTC even more because other address may be hidden.

Try for yourself you will see.

They are surely scammers and nobody should make a mistake of using the mixer.

I decided to combine more findings from forum members into these thread for easy follow up

1.  Fake reviews
Their link to trustpilot has zero reviews: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/penguinxmixer.io
https://talkimg.com/images/2023/07/19/n2W2c.png

But on their website we can see some fake reviews
https://talkimg.com/images/2023/07/19/n2eRP.png

Their reviews (https://penguinxmixer.io/#roadmap) are plagiarized from this page of fake reviews for another known scam mixer (https://bestbitcoinmixers.com/bitcoin-mixers/ultramixer-review/).



2. Same Receiving address used
I opened a new session using three different browsers, on three different devices, from three different IPs, giving three different withdrawal addresses, and it generated the same deposit address for me every single time. (1Q3JtzMGHdtdNy7DgHYVZgCC1yXz7EjEWQ, in case anyone else wants to verify this is a scam.

edit: It seems that every time I create a mixing session (with different addresses and IP), it gives me the same deposit address "1Q3JtzMGHdtdNy7DgHYVZgCC1yXz7EjEWQ". This mixer is a SCAM!



3. Plagiarism from other scam mixers


This page (https://www.penguinxmixer.io/concept) is plagiarized from a known scam mixer (https://smartmixer.io/en/why-mixing).

Their reviews (https://penguinxmixer.io/#roadmap) are plagiarized from this page of fake reviews for another known scam mixer (https://bestbitcoinmixers.com/bitcoin-mixers/ultramixer-review/).

Their FAQs are plagiarized from cryptomixer (https://[banned mixer]/faq.html).



Please lets rain some negative feedback and support flags against this two profiles

Also, even if their mixer wasn't a completly scam trying to get a quick buck, they have no sense of security or even know what they are doing. They are literally doxing their own website credentials and IPs.

LMAO, they still have app_debug set to true even after their last launch, where I pointed out you could get their server IP, database passwords, app_key and every other environment variables from their website.

Code:
REMOTE_ADDR	
"2804:14d:be89:9d2c:48d5:f54b:b8b3:7b4f"
SERVER_PORT
"443"
SERVER_ADDR
"45.88.106.10"
SERVER_NAME
"www.penguinxmixer.io"
SERVER_SOFTWARE
"Apache"
APP_KEY
"base64:RXOJ8G4XYOsZcwsyRt0ek4UTYoZrog0fVMZTkwLWA14="
DB_CONNECTION
"mysql"
DB_HOST
"127.0.0.1"
DB_PORT
"3306"
DB_DATABASE
"penguinx0mixer_db"
DB_USERNAME
"penguinx0mixer_db"
DB_PASSWORD
"penguinx0mixer_db"

But now they are leaking even worst information:
Code:
MAIL_DRIVER	
"smtp"
MAIL_HOST
"mail.penguinxmixer.io"
MAIL_PORT
"587"
MAIL_USERNAME
"noreply@penguinxmixer.io"
MAIL_PASSWORD
"HXIvWyR}{X]V"

Scammers are getting too lazy!
