207  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: List of ongoing scams on: July 16, 2013, 12:17:13 AM
Keep this going!!

Here I will present the current list of ongoing scams in order to protect the community, it has been stripped of all non essentials to keep the community safe from scams, I will hold all Bitcoin businesses for full responsibility:

Legend:
Red - Most likely a scam.
Orange - Moderate chance of being a scam.
Yellow - Small chance of being a scam.
Blue - Was initially listed as scam, was whitelisted after review.

Quote from: Definition of SCAM
: a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation <an insurance scam>

origin unknown
First Known Use: 1963

Just-dice I have analyzed this reported scam and it seems to be completely fair, furthermore it is being run by the noble "dooglus".

Strike Sapphire - Bad attempt at hedging against USD, they make a profit on their own rates. Owner is rude, no provable fairness. - Owner has contacted me, explained the situation and seemed to be respectful and honest, upon further reviewing StrikeSapphire I no longer list it as small chance of being a scam

Casinobit - Bets are delayed occasionally, some bets have invalid TXIDs owner has contacted me and explained the situation, the results are apparently streamed live now regardless of the feed.

Satoshidice - IS based on irrefutable mathematics that behave in an honest manner under normal conditions, sometimes bets are delayed by 24 hours giving the house the window to bruteforce a hash that will be the most beneficial, the house or anyone else that receives access to the secret list ahead of time can submit selective bets and get a significantly lower house edge.

Almost anyone associated with them speaks in an intellectually appalling language and is full of unapologetic loose cannons, except Voorhees himself.

Wheresyouredge.com - Pending review, DO NOT trust ANY bitcoin poker sites, there are currently none that I know of that use provable fairness.

MPEX - Despite the fact that the security never actually stole or scammed members the owner Mircea Popescu is a disgusting person that uses the term "nigger" on his blog while also constantly putting people down and generally being a complete snob. Lied multiple times about being the owner of a successful company, if it wasn't for Satoshidice releasing stock in MPEX this person would be selling potatoes somewhere in Romania.

SealsWithClubs - Uses ancient software, game-play connection is not secure.

SatoshiMines - Source of entropy is bad, the house can easily bruteforce the hash to make you win/lose. Including "random" non-preselected strings in the hash render the whole process insecure.

Bcpoker.eu - The lack of professionalism of the operators of this website is astonishing NO-ONE should play for real money on this website, I discourage any n00b for opening "mah vary own cas1no" and clearly people keep ignoring my advice as I see new entries of people looking to open a Bitcoin casino for a couple hundred bucks popping up on a daily basis. The owners are known to leak personal information. It is apparently registered by a teenager under the fake name "Adam Gergo Kovacs" as well as a fake address.

Bit777 - Misleading, calling themselves "industry leading" , not provably fair whatsoever, lack of verifiables of the actual bets processed, can potentially over-inflate their own statistics, a PHP Microsoft IIS/7.5 bot decides whether you win or lose. Encourages disgusting people to post sexually explicit posts that aim to lower the social status or attempt to make other members feel ashamed.

   
Bitcoin-Roulette.com
- Shamelessly stole the CSS off another website, doesn't look legit at all, seem to have ripped multiple people off.

PrimeDice - Popped up a week ago, claiming to have totaled 11,081 BTC in wagers as of 26-May-2013, domain wasn't even indexed as of a couple days ago. NO verifiables of ANY bets whatsoever. I am going to assume that a fraction of the bets is actually real and others are fakes. Backed up by co-scammers like forum member Zaih that doesn't admit to be associated directly. The 28 page thread is mostly spam between 4 members associated with the scam.

Shilling has been shown to take place in the official thread, this will be obvious to anyone with half a brain.

As of now, Primedice is provably (un)fair.

Tradefortress - Member "Tradefortress" added to the list as per his own request, enjoy your time here you glorious winged douche.

BitcoinVideoCasino  - Fake statistical data as well.

Ripple - Pyramid scheme, homepage contains blatant lies, complete misrepresentation.

Butterflylabs (BFL) - Apparently manufactured the ASICS and mined with them themselves instead of shipping them until it no longer became profitable, owner is an ex-con (and not the good kind either) who has been convicted of mail fraud, forum members inaba and BFL_Josh are fellow fraudsters.

Cryoniks - This sums everything up nicely:


BitBet.us - Seemingly innocent but will scam and make money off large bets, forum member MPOE-PR is related to the scam, SatoshiDice is also related to the people who run the scam. The group of people that run the scam are mostly trashy, condescending and prideful for a reason that shall remain a mystery to us. It appears that this is the reason why the reputation of SatoshiDice was questioned by other forum members like "mem".

Bitbox.mx - Fraudulent, deceptive Terms of Service are no excuse to hold on to the funds of the customers while demanding official documents out of the blue. The customer should be able to get a refund in case he refuses to provide the documents. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=227121.0


I will occasionally dig up all the trash on casinos/services and post it here publicly.

EDIT: New websites are popping up everyday, the general rule of thumb is stay clear of any non-vet website and apply common sense.

Strike Sapphire is scamer... He baned me cause with the free bonus $10 i win up $160 and withdraw... He asked me for deposit the money again ofering me a bonus, etc, when i decided to not deposit the money again, he ban me... Lol, his a scamer.

Scammers normally know their own kind. Anyways TF is judged as a scammer at this point, so just be careful in your dealings.

211  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Off-Topic on: July 10, 2013, 04:59:39 AM

212  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Off-Topic on: July 09, 2013, 05:07:45 PM
Lol can't please everyone. I will tell you this, just because I add them to the site doesn't make them scammers. It is up to users to post their opinions.  For the love of BTC make a better site that people can drop their two cents in and not get ridiculed for coming forward with their story. I'm going to continue running bitcoinscammers.com for free for the community until someone stops complaining and makes something better that I DON'T need to be a part of.  This complaining is all old news see this thread  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=222519.msg2684139#msg2684139 for further information. AS SHOCKING AS IT IS MOST SCAMMERS DON'T LIKE BITCOINSCAMMERS.com (Shocking, Right?)
213  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Off-Topic on: July 09, 2013, 01:09:10 AM
You are 100% correct! Who has been ripped of for sure? I don't know I joined the thread to find out not to become the BTC police.  I do however do research to make sure the shit people post on my site matches up or at least correlates with something that actually happen.  Not every BTC site is a scam but when 1000's of dollars are on the line you must do research.  I may voice my opinion here and somethings are facts others not.  It's up to the users to to do proper due diligence and if they are feeling nice come forward when they have been ripped off or come forward after being ripped off when a company decides to do right.

We can keep this thread going on for another 100 posts or wait for solid proof.


Opinion: 75% scam, @ risk of 100% losses

Fact: Nothing proven yet 100% valid site.

Sentiment: Hold off on buying anything until items have been shipped to high risk taking users.

Hmm interesting !!!  


Santosh kumar had a SEC file  here http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/vprr/04/9999999997-04-038469  He takes  part in that complex however if you run a search on

"Santosh Kumar bitcoin "   https://twitter.com/santosh0207 <----- this twitter pops up with this ceo's info following that guy is ths owner of this facebook page!! https://www.facebook.com/IndiaBitcoin/timeline?filter=1



Now that facebook page sells bitcoins so maybe they are stealing your coins and selling them from that page.  


:-/  I could be way off but it is interesting

Scammers are scammers, they are suppose to pose as legit before the upset. I'm not saying they are scammers I'm saying look around BFL and others.


"Ohh they didn't keep all my money" doesn't make them not scammers. Scams are made to pull the most money out the quickest way possible and if they can keep face while doing it they will.


See yeah when your holding the bag and crying on bitcoinscammers.com
217  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Off-Topic on: July 08, 2013, 08:53:02 PM
I just added these guys to bitcoinscammers.com   Anyone who got scammed I encourage you to protect other users with telling your story. 
218  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BitcoinScammers.com on: July 08, 2013, 07:26:14 PM
I would agree he has the "Method of Operation"  of a scammer down stat. He has not ripped me off but I can read through all these threads that he needs to be watched and dealt with carefully.
219  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: I got SCAMMED by bitbox.mx!!! on: June 28, 2013, 05:09:22 PM
Just wanted to repost this. Smiley


220  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BitcoinScammers.com on: June 28, 2013, 05:07:41 PM
I started it to help lol. If you read this ridiculously long thread you would know that I want someone else who has "a better idea" to actually do it instead of complaining about a theme or template color.  The theme is not the purpose of the site CLEARLY. The site is not ad driven and is 100% a hobby site I work on a few minutes a day. I can tell you if someone used one of their great ideas to make a better page it would be worth it as traffic is pretty good.

Good luck on your version if you need anything from me let me know.

I dunno. Ignoring other issues, that's got to be the ugliest & least usable wordpress theme Sad 
Consider something other than Black on dk. brown
