Post by: Yaunfitda on January 19, 2021, 10:01:50 AM
I saw this post of @Xal0lex here, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827109.msg56035513#msg56035513) and it didn't took so long to identify another fake site.

Code:
xn--mxer-qpa.money

Image of the fake site below, you can't see any difference visually, isn't it?

So very careful, this is another warning to all of us, mixers are prime target as well. And even though this mixers is not that well-known (this is the first time I heard of it), but still we will never know.

Thanks for the warning, atleast this will get to those who are using mixers for Bitcoin and other coins, I have no reason to want to hide my transactions in the blockchain through mixers and even privacy coins like Monero isn't doing me any good than making money out of holding the coin, thanks anyways

Obviously, Chipmixer is the priority target, I can't find their ANN thread here to at least give them a warning. It's says that this mixer has been in the crypto sphere 2016-2020 and I would agree that this isn't well know amongst forum members.

I did my part on reporting it to https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en.

It's the question how quick Google will react to de-index it.

If mixer got fake out this is likely dangerous if some unaware guys got victimized. Thanks for the warning, privacy or not, mixers are perfect for scammers as they used this as getaway for escape. Can't blame some other people who used it as they want to conserved their privacy so thanks OP for enlighting us with this fake one cause the output is literally the same. So the trick here is quite high and being cautious on browser is the only way to check either the one you clicked is fake.

Yes, I agree that it's to know the difference between the fake and the real. Even the .onion and PGP are the same. Reporting it to Google is good, but it's better if we are going to file a report to the domain registrar itself to shut this site for good.

Why did you create a topic for this purpose? Putting a warning message on that topic that may be useful in addition to PMing @Xal0lex to delete that comment.
I do not know how these people find these scam sites, but we must not contribute to share it so as not to get worse.

Regarding mixers, they are based on privacy, so focus on some parts, for example if they are using cloudflare, this means that they do not focus on privacy.

Also, even if you are not scammers, they may keep those records, which means that you waste your time by using them to conceal your identity.

Everything crypto is target by scammers, it's why people need to be care about about move they plan to make on anything crypto, scammers are always trying every ways to get their piece of cake out of those who aren't cautious, before doing anything crypto it's better to ask the audience, it's one of the reasons why we have bitcointalk, don't be a fool
