Title: Help needed Post by: ch00se on November 21, 2014, 04:56:16 AM Hello all,
I have been using bitcoins for a few months, however I am far from an expert and hoping to get some advice. I sent some coins to bitfog (my second time) and I have yet to receive them. I have gone back to checked the transaction and it has 194 confirmations from approx 36 hours ago and still nothing. I'm certain I copied my Bitfog deposit address (as I specifically recall doing this it), yet when I view the transaction the main output address seems to be different to the one on my account/used previously, is this normal? I bookmarked these sites so I do not believe I am a victim of phishing. Any help much appreciated.

If you have the transaction id, why cant you check that with the deposit address on "BitFrog"?

I have checked the deposit address and this is different to the one on my account and the one I previously used. My issue is that I know the time/date when I made the deposit, I've checked my browser history and I visited the official site and copied the address for bitcoin fog, I then copied the address to send the btc from there. If I have indeed been phished it is entirely due to the address provided on their website as nothing else makes sense. Is this looking like a lost cause? It was 36 hours since sent.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but neither party in the edit war was putting that onion URI I think? I guess maybe they could both be scammers :/ You're not wrong. It looks like they are both scammers. The page currently links to bitcoinfog.org, also a fake site it seems... From what I can tell, the announcement link which links to the bitcointalk thread hasn't been changed yet.
