It's good you used an alternate machine. Most of those "cracked" apps are filled with all kinds of malware. When someone tells you to download a crack version of some software. You should be careful.

So just below the download link of the second malicious file, Someone made a comment in Spanish
Translating to;

I downloaded the zip file and checked using virus total. In the zip file, there are 2 other exe files
1. acunetix_12.0.19051514.exe - Seems untouched
(https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4a3a7574de176a2e3f665ac9727d52c20336bfa3d29790cab2b779ea3e140b79/detection)

2. Service Provider License.exe - 57/69 Antivirus engine detected malware
(https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/94f91117169345bb74d112a0af7e6ee4bb1f55eb689dbd5b1691d3e36f339d5a/detection)

1. Have you bought your first Bitcoins already?

2. Are you keeping them in a custodial exchange/wallet or in a noncustodial wallet (Non-custodial wallet like electrum is recommended as you have full control of your funds and fee rate adjustment). Avoid sending the Bitcoins directly from an exchange every time you are buying an item. You will end up paying exorbitant fees.

3. Make sure you use Native SegWit (Bech32) format addresses (addresses that start with "bc1" like bc1qak0w22xcs6zunsv75ga5f7xdql5e37hjvefea6) to keep and transact your bitcoins. Using such addresses lowers the size of the transaction and therefore the fee you pay too

4. Use tools like https://mempool.space to observe how busy the network is and what the optimal fee rate would be. Like right now, the mempool is almost empty(just less than 2,000 unconfirmed transactions in the mempool), and it's the best time for a low fee transaction of 1 sat/byte which can also get confirmed in the next block.

These scammers can do anything to trap victims. Posing as a popular News site to announce their scam airdrop. Wow!

I checked their scam Dogecoin giveaway address for the BBCnews.app website, and they managed to collect 10,892.42768184DOGE worth 2,587.00USD so far. The last incoming transaction was 6 hours ago.

People can be so greedy and end up falling for these scams.

 

You ask around before sending money, not after. Be very careful. So many scams are advertised anywhere on the web and apps. Do not trust before you verify.

Cryptominerbros are shady. They do have fake reviews on their home page with random images picked from the web and LinkedIn profiles



Look at the reviews on Trustpilot. The positive reviews are of invited accounts and are fake. Focus on the negative reviews (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/cryptominerbros.com)

Just hope for the best at this point.

Sad!
Rug pulling is becoming the order of the day among such cropping projects. Some traders have genuinely made money out of those projects, but it's a very risky venture. It's good news that the devil was revealed early enough before people wasted lots of time participating in their bounty. Imagine going 2 months plus advertising and expecting pay, only for the scammers to pull out 

Tagged and flag supported.

Please correct the links you just shared, they are broken;

No need to use the insert hype link function, they should be like this;

The forum rules and guidelines are listed and pinned for a reason. So that you get to read them after you have registered. You only get to know about the rules if you read them. Most of us here didn't know about them either until we read them.

You are not  clear on this. Did you or did you not use any VPN while accessing or playing on the site?
It doesn't matter if your country is restricted or not.

They got terms and conditions that are totally against use of VPNs unless you are already KYC verified.

Violation results into an account ban.

So before you start accusing them, be sure you never used any VPN.

Why did you have to wait for so long to have the problem solved?

Localbitcoins is a custodial service, so if there is any complaint, they will engage in the dispute and block the funds while you resolve the dispute. At that time, You should have tried to contact skrill to ascertain what when wrong and then maybe send them proof that you never reversed any transaction, but you left the case hanging.

2 years is a very long time. If I were you, I would blame myself for negligence, count the loss and move on

Giorgio Chiellini when Jordi Alba told him that Morata was one of the penalty takers  
(Spoiler: This was before the Pens were taken)



Like how the hell did Spain even get into this tournament minus Sergio Ramos? He would have done well in a situation like during the penalty shoot out.
Italy had it all wrapped up even before the pens were taken. Look how Chellini bullied Jordi Alba, Had it been Ramos, things would have been a little different.

They have! By 4 pens scored to 2

Thanks to that last Jorginho decisive penalty,
How I like the resilience of Giorgio Chiellini! I have never backed Italy but this time round, I would like them to lift the trophy, just for Chiellini's sake  

I bet this is how it's exactly going to play out with their latest victim - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5347758

He made some winnings and because they don't want anyone to make decent winnings in their scam site, they blocked his account, and now they will just give him back his deposit and claim the issue was "resolved", if they even decide to refund.

I used the gamble a lot back in the day (Football match betting). I think at one point, I even had  a gambling addiction, but not anymore. These days I gamble but once in a while and just for fun. I don't want those dark days of addiction to come back, so I keep it controlled.

I am so much interested in Football and I even take time to watch and read news. That's why I discuss football related issues and only supports betting. You will never see me take about some casino games I don't know about.

If you see someone making shitposts, just report them to the mods, they will get removed.

Football can be quite tricky sometimes, Peru could come out and cause a complete upset, though the odds are against them. They did play against Brazil in the Group stages and lost by 4-0

Usually when teams are playing an opponent they have previous heavily lost to, they tend to improve on their performance in the next head-to-head match.

I am predicting that Brazil may find this match so hard. They will win by 1 goal so Brazil 1:0 Peru

If it were me. I wouldn't even settle for just the deposit I made, I would demand for all my winning unless they pointed out a satisfactory reason my account was blocked.

Just imagine if you have lost bets, would their so called rule violations still work?

Sorry to hear about that, 1xbit is the worst gambling site that's still operational to ever grace crypto space. Those low lives are a bunch of shameless scammers.

You should have known this before registering, and depositing any money into their platform. Once you make some decent winning, they block your account and say you violated some rules they will never mention to you.
They always hide behind the invincible rules you violated and the best offer they can make is to just return you deposit.

So basically, they will be very glad if you keep losing to them but once you make winnings, you get locked out...

Take a look

This scam accusation you replied to is almost 5 years old.
It would be much better if you created a fresh scam accusation with all the necessary details such as screenshots, chat logs etc.

What made you keep using the service, yet we have other better wallets currently?

Withdraw all your money and avoid using yobit from now on.

You might have been lucky this time, but there are some victims who have not been lucky with the yobit 2FA scam

Read some stories here to see how far yobit can go when they want to rob you.

1. [2021]Yobit Story in Dogecoin era
2. Yobit Exchange - frozen my account

Look for any other venture to resell, but not cloud mining. All the players who claimed that they were legit and were even paying people at first eventually collapsed or stopped paying people, which means there's something wrong with cloud mining apart from the fact that most people now know that 99% of cloud mining is scam.

So even if you have genuine intentions, it probably is not sustainable in the long run, and you may end up losing all the time and money you invested in reselling the services.

So I am guessing OP got back his BTC or equivalent in USDT?
12 BTC is so big an amount for one to just go quiet if Bybit decided to hold on to it. Unfortunately, he did get back here to update us on what he had to do in order to get back his money (that's if he got it) and how long it took.

Looking for referrals, huh?

Personally, I have liked this style of posting. Why not summarize the list here and then those who might be interested in reading more will visit the link to your article.

You can't put complete trust in a custodial service. Never.
