There was a such same site last month too,but under other domain name.It was shoutdown after users contacted their host.

And YES this site is a SCAM!

Probably lower their rankings or block them completely. I'm not saying Google should be enforcing this.

If you want to delist a site off google, you need to contact the domain host for that site.

they usually do that, but for ranking in traffic, its a different story.

I don't think it's Google's responsibility to enforce the legitimacy of the sites that it indexes.

I think this person mentioned it clearly.

The hosting domain can shut the website down, for valid reasons.

Thank you, I'll try to contact the host.

Hmm.. I have never heard of this site. Anyway, if you believe it is something that should not be shown on Google, try this link - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/answer.py?answer=61062 .

Report it here:  https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/

And after a certain number of reports from different people, visitors would get a warning that will tip them off.

You can report scam websites but I don't know how they handle them. Do they investigate websites before unlinking to them? What if they take down a legitimate operation or business just because someone or several people maliciously reported it?

Did you believe someone can double btc in one day?
See the transactions of the address he provided, the most payment came from faucet. And why did he block me in fb if he run valid business?

None of those transactions have even been to the deposit address provided on the website.

I really doubt it. Unless it clearly breaks some law (illegal sales, material, phishimg), it usually doesn't get removed. I know tons of sites (not related to Bitcoin though) that were notoriously known to scam people yet thwy still remained indexed in Google's search.
