Title: freebitco.in scam?
Post by: asianguy845 on May 12, 2020, 09:36:56 PM
So, me and my brother both use freebitco.in
He had 100k in the balance, so he withdraw to btc wallet StakeCube (legit, because i have used many times, and so have many of my friends)
We both made sure that every letter/digit of the address was correct, so as to make sure the money was recieved

It has been over a month, and the btc is NOT recieved
He is pretty pissed, and I kind of feel bad as I told him it is a very trusted website that many use

Or is there another reason?

Did freebitco.in give a TXID for your withdrawal? If so, check again (using a blockexplorer) that the funds were sent to the correct address. If everything turns out to be good, write an email to StakeCube's support and show them the TXID, it must be a technical problem from their part. But if you were not given any TXID from Freebitco.in then, I suggest posting  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540.7500)here, they'll help you.

Also, I've never heard of StakeCube before... but even if they are legit as you say, you shouldn't use them to store your coins. It's never safe to use online/web wallets.

Stakecube? Same never heard about that, so that's not even popular wallet aka it's not legit.

Why you just asking after 1 month your money didn't appeared after you made a wd from freebitcoin? Did you waiting for price increased then you just claimed it now to earn more usd?

Try pm TheQuin and do like he replied, that might helps you


I can't help you if you can't access the email on the account and you can't sign a Bitcoin message to prove it is really your account.

I mean, just email them through your email on freebitcoin and sign message from your received address

They do, it's an automated feature, but records of withdrawals are only shown for the past 30 days (not sure about how long they store them).
They do also send an email every time you withdraw with the amount of coins and the tx id; so try looking for it and the checking on a block explorer to see where the coins actually went.


Also first time I hear about StakeCube too....

Dude, having a problem in withdrawal doesn't mean freebitco.in scam. It is a common problem in various crypto platforms. Have you contacted the team member of freebitco.in? You must contact them if you have a problem with withdrawal. Agree with @OmegaStarScream, why you don't comment on FreeBitco.in official thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540.7500)? Or you can contact them through these channels:
- https://twitter.com/freebitco
- https://www.instagram.com/freebitcoinofficialaccount/?hl=en
- https://www.facebook.com/theofficialfreebitco.in/
- https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/

Anyway, can you show us what StakeCube wallet is? I also never heard this wallet. So, I cannot say if it is legit or not.

Only the email and the forum thread/PMs are official channels. This has been said a couple of times by TheQuin; social media is managed by another person that has nothing to do with support requests.

I doubt for BTC0.001, freebitco.in will do some shit.

Either it didn't totally end up on StakeCube or that site doesn't reflect the balance on the wallet but freebitco.in successfully send it or there are missing parts of the story.

A usual process, contact the freebitco.in support first and see what's their response. I can't believe you wait for over a month before taking action.

At least, that person can lead @asianguy845 to the email address or another way to help service of freebitco.in. It is much better than @asianguy845 posts here and instead risks the reputation of freebitco.in. I'm pretty sure complaining like this won't get any solution since only the team of freebitco.in can fix the problem.

>BTW thank you to let me know about it.  ;)

I'd be more conserned about StakeCube if I were you.  Their website was created (https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=stakecube.net&recaptchaResponse=03AGdBq26-N0NwNtYQNBRYtz9DHTrA0vVOB5eT_bD1UAB5MqvXvz7duvLssCpc6Ykenf-Zo6NJH58Bd2ryJpgEomuD88Y0VpFNMCiiaHbSpvLoKy00EucLzEH4Fp-u-9Y4S2fxH7snal0b9o1-hE1fM0ks4HaoRBF5iOl4sdqRFt2BMjMScYq_ul73nmyrX-hj0M7V5mxhG-uww2PMo829otdfGb2BLB7ybV67e02k_egtziZZzRdCKKMS8ngzjtzbdKCDBBfDW7xYCHJ9D_20IC1jeYRWsr721QTHKWIvmLExbM8-qJTaBXHrzkbNeeXTTuATOaF04Iq5IKVOpqkZBL2sJRfKmRFqtJWjAEKi2Cw8VEURALJTHzzIZC0QsSSnkiBi7N3i_oMftb6FG5a_JdYhWe9FA1fBug&isc=gofd1001aj) a couple of years ago, while freebitco.in is going on 7 years. 

StakeCube seems to be part custodial wallet, part cloud mining, part exchange, part arcade, and so much more.  They even have their own token, of course.  Maybe I'm overly cynical, but if they're selling cloud mining then I'm 99.999% sure it's a scam.

Every time someone has a problem with a wallet, we're always introduced to another wallet that we had never heard. Freebitco.in is one of the oldest casinos that we ever know and they have an ongoing signature campaign.

It's impossible for them to scam you asianguy.

Have you done the suggested things that you have to do concerning your problem?

StakeCube (legit, because i have used many times, and so have many of my friends)

legit? it looks pretty shady to me and is more like a Ponzi scheme than a legitimate business. there is a lot of red flags about them too.
1. promising up to 12% profit for deposits! not to mention that the interest is on coins such as bitcoin, litecoin and dogecoin which are all proof of work.
2. has its own garbage coin with the same name that they sold to use to make money and pay the users to keep their Ponzi afloat.
3. big affiliate rewards to incentivize advertisement to get more Ponzi victims.
4. cloud mining under a different name, which has not been anything but a Ponzi scheme for many years.
...

Freebitco.in is legit and they have been in crypto gambling industry, and on the forum for too long. You can move your topic to Reputation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0) if you want. That board is suited for what you are discussing. Or you can leave your answer in the official ANN thread of freebitco.in. I say freebitco.in is legit not solely because I am a participant of their campaign. I have no doubt about their legitimacy.

When you are back online try doing what OmegaStarScream about checking if freebitco.in give you TXID or transaction ID which will be used as proof of your withdrawal and you can also see that it has been sent. If the TXID is confirmed that it's been sent to the address you guys sent it to but still no balance showed then it's the site's problem and better you send an email to their support and provide the TXID then they'll fix it. I experienced the same thing where I sent ETH but no balance showed until I sent an email with the transaction to the support and the balance is there.

Also, I've never heard of StakeCube before... but even if they are legit as you say, you shouldn't use them to store your coins. It's never safe to use online/web wallets.
Didin't hear about it also so this is not good sign.
You should use desktop wallet or paper wallet to store larger amounts of BTC.
Storing large amount of BTC on smartphone or online wallet or exchange is like asking for trouble. Through years heard so much stories about how it damaged people's holdings starting from MtGox aka MtFailure.

First understand your current situation better, but after that learn from this.

Yeah, Freebitco.in would scam you for 100k Satoshi to cover Lambo lottery expenses :/
Before accusing them you should give some more details about your problem. Login to your Freebitco.in account click "Stats", then "Personal stats" and you will see list of your withdrawals. Do you see withdrawal to StakeCube address there? If yes, click on that transaction. If coins were delivered, then problem is on StakeCube side.
Then you should contact StakeCube support. I've never heard about this website, so I don't know they are legit or no. If they're legit, probably they will help you.
There is another possibility. Maybe minimal deposit on StakeCube is bigger than 100k Satoshi and this is why your deposit wasn't credited.

Thanks guys for the comments. By the title I didn't mean to imply it was a scam, it was just to make people click on it and reply to this thread so I could get some help xD because i also used freebitco.in and withdrew with no problems (just took a little while to recieve) to the same wallet, stakecube
I have told my brother to contact both freebitco.in as well as stakecube admins to help get his money (even if its not a lot)

thx again guys :)

You should not use this kind of clickbait next time, it can even get you into trouble, since you are accusing the sites wrongly of scam, as your subject(title)says, when actually you were not scammed by them.

If you need help, you make it clear in the subject of your post that that's what you need. Many people could see the title of this post and maybe not enter to read it, and think freebitco.in is a scam.

You could also provide info about your withdrawal so we can see on the blockchain where the problem occurred.

thx for the thoughts

The Blockchain said your address and the money you had in your account said it was spent and had been sent / had transaction in another two addresses. Maybe the only fault here is that you used Stakecube as your withdrawal address and not a much-trusted online wallets such Coinbase and so on. The only possible reason is that your wallet / your account in Stakecube is not that secured and had been, somehow, hacked.


Title: Re: freebitco.in scam?

I think to lessen your fear and to somehow occur the same situation again, better use other wallets that are guaranteed not to have system bugs. Because if it is their system that has faults, soon a single breach would get all of your balances. And good luck, some faulty system tend to prolong the customer's wait yet ends up on nothing.

I read this and am amazed that you didnt contact them after one or 2 days.

I have been with stakecube over 2 years. And yes they are a new platform. Their main business is Pool staking and shared masternodes with their very own exchange. Minecube is not cloudmining but yeah i cant blame you if you dont know stakecube and didnt do research. Its one of the upcoming platforms and its growing rapidly. Because ppl dont know them does not mean its fake or scam. Once Binance was not known too.

Any problems always go to their discord. They react witin 24 hours with a great service.

Just wanted to leave my 2 satoshis on this matter.

Glad it has been resolved.

As i read down this thread i see a few people saying that stakecube is a scam. I would love to have a chat with each and every person that believes this! Please point out to me one thing that is fact based to make this statement. I have been apart of the community and been a user of the site from the early stages. At this time there is no other exchange or site i trust more then stakecube. I have been ripped off from many exchanges Cryptohub, Cryptopia Idaxx and Wadax to just name a few. When Stakcube was hacked over a year ago i figured i would be screwed over again. But to my surprise i was refunded and everyone else was too. Scammers don't refund. And to make myself very clear Stakecube is the only site that has ever paid me back from losses do to a hack. Guys please do your research before listening to others being negative. Stakecube has an awsome support system if you have any issues the team in discord will have it resolved with in hours. I can personally say they are amazing. You want facts join the community in discord and listen to the community. You can also research the SCC on coinmarketcap and see how the value is mooning. I am not a team member but a loving investor of this project. FYI just do your research please!!

It mean there was a problem on stakecube, not from freebitcoin since the problem has been solved after your brother contacted stakecube's admin.

Snip
They said that because they don't ever heard about stakecube before.

So @asianguy845, can you lock this thread now?

As I thought so. The problem here is not about freebitco.in. You shouldn't have use that kind of title is because it's almost the same as accusing freebitco.in a scam. You should have done it sooner where you should contact the platform where you have sent your btc if the btc address that you have filed up is correct or no signs of clipboard hijacking. I experience the same thing as yours where I sent some crypto and saw it confirmed successfully but no balance in the account where I sent it to.
