List known scam websites here (please leave out the http:// part so the forum doesn't parse them into clickable links).


Sanitize links like this:  hxxp://scamwebsite[.]com

That should keep links from being active as well.  But your way is much easier.

Hey tomatocage, You put 999dice in the top of the list! I know you are a logical man! Can you explain how exactly is it a scam? Asking because I have seen players making 20 BTC from 0.05 and 1+ BTC from 0.0002! Thank you!

There is a pretty convincing scam accusation against 999dice which you can find here:

I don't think thats convincing! Read dooglus' reply! He said they could possibly scam by that method! But you can always make it on your side by not betting in the same pattern :D

Edit: doog said you can win them if they try to cheat by breaking the betting pattern!

True, they could possibly scam by that method, but it seems pretty suspicious.

For example, why the need to press a button every time you want to verify the seed? Also, 999dice has since changed their system.... And replaced it with another flawed one. (See this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=971447)

They could easily look at another dice sites provably fair system (like just-dice) and copy their transparent system.

I'm not accusing 999dice of anything, like you said, they might not be scamming at all, but it is fishy.

ALL free hosts and domains should be avoided. How the hell can you trust someone who won't bother to spend $2 - $3 on a domain and $10 monthly for some cheap hosting?

I was on Google a while ago and saw this:

http://s21.postimg.org/4xc5zd2hj/untitled.png

Curious, I decided to click it and the site looks exactly like Blockchain.info but the links are non-functional. There are no charts, no block explorer, just a page to log in and enter your details. Because of this, it's quite possible that the site is a phishing scam.

No doubt about it, that's a phishing site. They usually get taken down pretty quick but keep popping back up. I guess adwords coupons are still easy to get at a very good discount or people are using stolen cards to pay for clicks.

It has many of these kinds of scamming sites out there on google.when you sear'skrill/neteller for bitcoin or wmz/PM' these kind of exchanges,it always bumps up those sites.I used to test on a site called payexim and got scammed 0.03 BTC,they never paid me back some  neteller or skrill.And their phone listed on sites can never be connected when you call.
So I sum up some experience that all these kinds of sites has a same feature is that they always advertings they got huge reserve on all virtual E-currencies like on skrill,neteller,webmoney,perfect money etc and with low exchange rates to lure people to get scammed.So beware.

TC, what do you think of developing a simple browser plug in that would alert users if the site they are visiting could be a scam?  We could allow legendary members to contribute to the database.

Of course this would only work if we could promote it in the B&H section...

I bet you can't fit all the scam sites in one post, there are SO many here and it is too hard to keep track of them. Right now what is popular is the HYIPs, and there is a thread which outlines all of the active ones and the risk level. The scams like exchanges can only be predicted since they haven't crashed or taken money yet.

This is a FANTASTIC idea. Have a form for suggesting scams, and then only TRUSTED users preselected are allowed modifying it, but the community can vote or explain how they got scammed. That would save people a lot of money. Especially warning people that "this site is a HYIP, click HERE to read info about it" < stuff like that could help people lose a lot less money

There was an earlier thread posted in the meta section about that site here:

http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=998187

It doesn't seem to be a scam/phishing site since nobody has reported their account being compromised from it yet although I've noticed that they use popunder ads which is kinda dishonest since they didn't create the content themselves. Perhaps labeling it as a possible scam might be a better idea.

EDIT: It's also possible that the site is meant to be used as a proxy service for those who live in countries where Bitcointalk is banned. This site was such an example:

Post by: Superhitech on May 14, 2015, 03:50:08 AM
Yes, but signing in with a valid bitcointalk account doesn't work, so I don't think it's for a proxy service. Most likely phishing, but I could be wrong.

You can't use any functions in it including login. So it is not a mirror site for ISP ban evading. So it is probably a phishing site and/or for making money. As nothing works in it, we can conclude it is a phishing site.

Hmm... Didn't realize that.

I guess it could be a simple content mirror then, although it could just as easily be a phishing site. Without some kind of official statement from the site owner (or disabling of the login prompt), it's probably best to stay on the safe side I guess.

The other site that I linked to in my previous post (Data321.net) was a content mirror for Chinese users, for example:

if you visit the site and scroll to the bottom, you'll see this:
Quote
本网站为比特币加速站点,只为方便中国用户搜索及查找相关答案,属于非营利网站,友情链接或者其他相关问题,请联系QQ:2450057300.
which translates to
Quote
This website is Bitcoin accelerate site, only for the convenience of Chinese users to search and find relevant answers, a non-profit website, links or other related issues, please contact QQ: 2450057300.

Mystery solved. all you had to do was scroll down. :-*

Bitcoin-forums.net doesn't look like a simple content mirror.

Google is stupid and has trouble differentiating bitcointalk.org from mirrors. That site is trying to exploit this in order to occasionally place above or near bitcointalk.org in search results, and then use this position to make money in various ways. It seems that currently they were paid to increase the click stats of some specific URLs, and they're doing this by putting some extra iframes in each page.

Hmm... I always thought Google's search engine ranking algorithm penalized sites that have duplicate content. Strange to see that it isn't the case for Bitcointalk. I also regularly see Bitcointa.lk being placed higher in search results than this site too.

Didn't notice the iframes until you pointed it out. Yes, very sneaky. I can see them in the code:

Code:
<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="http://www.entekcms.com/" width="0" height="0"></iframe>
<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/JYNzzbIiI" width="0" height="0"></iframe>
<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="http://www.findhe.com/gg/ggindex.php" width="0" height="0"></iframe>

Not sure how they would be able to profit from this though. ???

There also seems to be some extra JavaScript at the end for StatCounter too as well as something that looks Chinese.
Not sure how they would be able to profit from this though. ???
for the aliexpress link: cookie stuffing

Bitcoin-forums.net doesn't look like a simple content mirror...

That could just be the site owner's attempts to monetize it. It could still be a content mirror, just one with ads.

Anyway, if you think it's best to consider it a phishing site as a precautionary measure then I have no objections. Even if it isn't one, it definitely seems quite suspicious for it to even exist in the first place and without any way to tell whether or not login attempts are being logged, it's probably best to assume that it is a phishing site and stay clear. :)

Lot of late-comers who are now just hearing about Bitcoin and finding out their only way to obtain it is to spend money or scam. Since many of them are broke to begin with, they opt for the latter.

Almost an entire history on one thread.. BFL..  :D

I think cloudminr.io is potentially one, but then again, they always been paying out.. so its hard to say when they`ll do a pbmining moment.

This page has a pretty big list of confirmed Bitcoin scam sites:

http://www.badbitcoin.org/thebadlist/

I don't know who compiled it or what the requirements are for a site to be included though. For instance, I would have been hesitant to classify PBMining as a definite scam back when it was popular but it appears they listed it months before it went bust.

why there are so many scammer in Bitcoin bussiness?

The responses in this thread (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=660994) answer the question of why scammers scam in the first place.

Bitcoin seems to attract online scammers because it's pseudonymous, instantaneous, much harder to trace when mixed, and doesn't support chargebacks. With Bitcoin, the responsibility of the trade is solely on the buyer and unlike fiat banking, there are no centralized entities that can team up with authorities to regulate Bitcoin transactions.

TC, what do you think of developing a simple browser plug in that would alert users if the site they are visiting could be a scam?  We could allow legendary members to contribute to the database.

Of course this would only work if we could promote it in the B&H section...

I wouldn't even know where to begin :'(
Reading this thread, I actually quite like this idea. I'm not 100% sure on how it would work completely, but a GreaseMonkey extension could probably be made with this idea and could add a header to the top of the page for example. Just throwing ideas around.

You can probably add the scam site www.val1d.ru to the list. Someone created a thread advertising the site here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1128293.0), and upon visiting it via tor, it appears there are very few members/topics/posts, most likely well under 50 total posts. However there are a number of users whose statistics show they have several hundred posts, while their post history only show ~8 posts.

A number of illegal things are being sold (this doesn't necessarily make it a scam, but still a good idea to avoid). There are threads advertising things like western union payments at ridiculous discounts under the amount claiming to be sent, which should obviously mean all will not end will with the buyer in one way or another (BTW, "verified" members are selling this).

This has many of the same red flags that the scam site bitcoin-power.com has, although I am not sure if they are run by the same person.

You should add cloudminer.biz which distributes malware disguised as referral spam (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1082790.0, ex1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=726861.msg11557595#msg11557595), ex2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=823953.msg11508610#msg11508610)) although it seems to be closed now (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1082790.msg11723912#msg11723912).

I mention it because it seems it's got a new active domain: mineprofit.com

I think you should add your name to the scam list. Anybody that uses multiple sockpuppet accounts to escrow for herself* is a scammer!!!!

If you search more about it on Bitcointalk you will find more results about some people accusing them of scam , so I'd recommend adding them to the list . ty

I am fairly sure that he is alive, however he does not seem to be active in his TC account anymore, he hasn't posted in well over a month

If we were adding every ponzi we saw to this list it would be several pages long. Just don't invest in ponzis as a general rule.

I told you I don't have much information's about it , couldn't find any .
but according to this : http://www.scamadviser.com/is-exchangerszone.com-a-fake-site.html , website is new and also rarely visited , beside as you can see the design of the website is totally crap which means they didn't even bother themselves to make a serious service , just stay away from it .

I'd be willing to make one if needed.

I couldn't agree more , It's an important list and should be always updated so it should be made by someone who is active on the forums .
Once you make your thread please post the link here .
