Title: Is bitcointalk.to legit or scam?
Post by: Judster on March 10, 2018, 02:03:08 PM
I wonder that phishing site bitcointalk.to is still working well. I have just googled something and got there, then found similar topics with scam warnings started fall of 2017. Are there any admin actions to stop this? Why no one write DMCA abuses to Google/ICANN, why no tricky java scripts to ruine content on external sites or image CDN with hotlinks disallow or something else??? May be this site is legit mirror of bitcointalk?

The question we should ask is if there are scams going on at the mentioned forum or is it simply because it is another variation of this forum (Bitcointalk.org) that erupts the legit and scam view.

Well, that this forum is the pathfinder doesn't mean other Xerox-ed sites won't exist and be genuine too. Calling for an internet ban without any infringement cited is giving a dog a bad name to hang it.

I think you need to read again the topic and understand it carefully. I suggest you to improve your english knowledge, "Im not saying that Im good at it" but as I can see you did not understand what's the topic all about this is just a friendly advice.

You can find phishing websites all around. With just one letter changed, you won't even notice. That's nothing new. I don't know how it works if the websites have the same layout, but it's probably not completely legal with the intention they're having.

Read the OP again.

This question was asked so many times in this same forum and was answered many times. Try to use the search box and then post your topic. .to is a pure phishing and scam site which tries to steal the passwords of members signing in their accidently. This site copies everything right from the login data to number of members.
If you try to login the recaptcha won't work and it will steal your password. Stay away from them and don't try to login. They could be using the site for generating ad maybe or try to steal user's password.
No matter how many times this topic was raised, no matter how many times it was discussed. If this site is scam, then it continues to steal visitors, passwords, money...
So my question is - did admins try anything to suspend this site & prevent people of been scamed?

I ask because my real-world job is connected with dmca complaines and simillar abuses. There are still some ways to influence on scam and site copies and I wonder if anyone here tried them? I didn't find even single complaint on lumendatabase.org

do not ask legit or site scam like bitcointalk.to. because such a phiising site will take over your account. phishing sites like that do need to be overcome so that no victims are affected by the trap.
