Title: coinsbin.com - Is coinsbin.com a scam?
Post by: wct296 on May 22, 2014, 09:45:58 AM
Hey guys

having been burnt (but thanks to coinbase.com recovered losses) by minersbit.com I'm a bit cautious... I was wondering if anyone remembers minersbit.com and how they had click to pay links as well as mining contracts.... If so... does coinsbit.com look and feel strangely exactly the same as minersbit.com?

Personally I'm thinking its another scam and I'm posting here to urge anyone caution in investing in this entity. A lot of good people lost a lot of btc on minersbit.com and having been scammed on this and other sites I want to do anything I can to warn/avoid this happening again..

If the site truely is legitimate, to the people that run it, I apologise... but it needs to be discussed, proven and verified before anyone should trust this site too much.

Thanks!

You can email Alwin, but he's from coinsbit.com and your issue is with coinsbin.com  ;)

Check here also :  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=619419.0

Their domain is (was?) registered to a non existing address in Munich with a (non existing?!) phone number from Hungary. Bogus stuff.
Email address used for domain registration was coinsbin.com@gmail.com

You should probably search on the forums, or any Bitcoin related blog/news site.

They either sold the domain, or it's a 'fly-by-night business'.

Me too think that because the site is redirecting to Google but in their forum I have seen members telling they got payment from Coinsbin. Is there anyway to search Coinsbin in any Bitcoin block explorer, so that we know whether it is scam or not?
