The website in itself looks like a scam website already.
I'll make sure to add this to the scam-watch back at SmallBits

Looks pretty scammy to me. Did you buy a contract with them?

if you are new , you should always ask around and look for reviews about the site/company before giving away the money

I've never heard about this site before, it doesn't have an official thread here on the forum either..., It looks like a scam to me. If their support staff doesn't reply your queries then it's a red flag

For god's sake, this is a wordpress site that reads "just another wordpress site" in the title. The owner didn't even bother to change that.

How much have you been scammed for? I don't know why you asked here in the forum before buying if this service is trusted.

Usually they don't ask if they've been scammed by a site if they're promoting it but sometimes I think they ask if anyone has heard of it to appear impartial, but they also could just be genuine newbs asking out of concern.

Anytime one person has has their first post going to a scam site is really fishy.  There is a good chance it is OP's.

Never heard before the website.
and after i checked, oh this is scam website, it's clear for me.

Yup, obvious scam.

Surprisingly they're asking for credit card/ paypal payments not bitcoin, so hopefully OP will get his 'investment' back.

Be triple cautious when dealing with cloud mining.

Most of them are pyramid scams that don't have a single usb miner, waiting the best moment to run with everyone's money

It could be a scam, but I haven't seen definitive evidence of it being one quite yet. Remember to do some research on a site before you proceed to invest into them.

The first month is included in the $4,000 purchase price.

$4,000 purchase price and they are running a free Wordpress webpage.   ::)

You should ask on this forum before investing in Ponzi's.
Never heard of that though.

Most probably a scam.

Not much effort was put into it.

How much money did you send them?

It would have been wise to post here BEFORE purchasing their services; if it turns out to be a scam.

Sorry about what happened though..

Please always do some research when you are going to join a site. Especially when you are going to invest your money. This type of ponzi site always scam you sooner or later. So be careful for the next time

It's also very suspicious that he never bothered to reply, or post anywhere else for that matter.

Better to avoid the site entirely. :-\

It's so scam that they didn't even pay for a licensed "rightsignature . com" form they use for their "contracts"  (they just embedded the free trial form)  :D



Title: Re: Have I Been Scammed By This Service???
Post by: fearlesscat10 on December 30, 2014, 03:25:15 PM
OP probably owns the site and is just here to attract clueless newbies.  >:(

I wonder why people bother making an account here and posting for help when they don't even care to login again and respond to their own thread?

Probably he didn't post asking for help.

He just made a post in a crowded topic in order to get attention (free advertisment for his website) and maybe a newbie or two.

He probably got more than 100-150 visits by posting just 1 post.

it looks like a self promotion thread as OP never come back and joined the discussion
he just created this account to post this and then never come back

This.

BTW, why is the scammer taking credit card and paypal payment? Isn't it very easy to request a chargeback with these two payment methods?
