Title: Warning: Freebitcoins.org
Post by: Sherkel on July 12, 2012, 12:04:55 PM
For anyone looking to use that site, read this first. I did give the place a chance (earned more than 1 BTC there,) but found quite a few things were up, and a bit too late at that. People have had problems with this place before, as well as with the guy who used to be advertising it like mad (dunno if he's the admin or not.) I want to reinforce the caution one should have about using that site.

- I requested a payout a long time ago, some time in the spring, and am still yet to receive it. A place as ambitious-looking as this should have some sort of automatic rewards system, especially given the point below.

- A couple of weeks ago, I sent an e-mail to the admin requesting the payout and notifying him that I had requested it. Still no reply. Either he's forgetting to check his e-mail or something less honest is up...either way, not good.

- This basically seals the deal. A box still appears on every page saying:
EPIC DECEMBER CONTEST IS LIVE! CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS!

Your progress: 1.050 BTC earned!

Prizes: Earn 2BTC = 1BTC Coin. Earn 5BTC = 3 1BTC Coins. Earn the most = 25BTC Coin!


A shame.

Yeah, sounds a bit scammy. Good luck but I don't think you'll be seeing any coin.

Don't know whether it's a scam or not, but out of curiosity... is there a minimum payout threshold?
