I'll just cut to the chase because I'm fucking boiling at the fingertips with anger at the moment. I'd sent $1000 LTC to be exchanged into BTC using shapeshift. I'd taken a screenshot of what appears in google when searched. I'd sent $1000 LTC through the first URL shapeshift.pro
shapeshift.
pro is
NOT Shapeshift. That is a scam website created by a thief for the purposes of phishing for gullible people.
I feel like I've been robbed.
You have been.
It's been over an hour and I've seen nothing..
And you almost certainly won't.
I'd sent $300 LTC through shapeshift.io and I'd almost instantly received confirmation of transaction over BTC's blockchain . . . I've now sent two transactions through shapeshift.io and had received bitcoin confirmations on coinbase for both.
That's because shapeshift.
io IS Shapeshift.
I'm a fucking idiot, I know, you can spare me of those words.
Wasn't going to say that.
The $1000 LTC sent through shapeshift.pro is still pending deposit . . . I have confirmation of $1000 LTC being sent here, still nothing from their end.
More likely they aren't ever going to update it to say anything other than "pending deposit". They don't need to. They already have your money.
Who the fuck are these people?
Clever thieves that tricked you into sending your money to the wrong people.
The URL is apparently a sponsored ad on google.
That is a common tactic for phishing thieves. They know that the typical user will assume that the top result on a Google search is legitimate. They hope that the user won't notice that the URL is wrong.
Who did I just throw away money to?
A thief.
This was unfortunately the first topic I've ever created on this website. Thanks at the very least for being informative. I'm unbelievably fucking appalled that google allows entities to have their websites advertised as the first/second result without even bothering to check the legitimacy of who they're advertising. Just as carelessly as I didn't verify my URL, doesn't it leave quite a shitty reflection upon google's integrity? Do they just not fucking care? At the very least, I'd only lost a little under 10% of what I'd made between the exchanges and sportsbooks in the past month; a mere slap on the wrist. Doesn't change the fact that I feel like a fucking fool--- a very angry one
