FYI it was £180 so it is not going to break the bank. My lack of research cost me, it was stupid. Hopefully no one else will make the same mistake.

Many thanks for the helpful replies. Your advice is appreciated and well noted.

Thanks for the replies and advice. It was not a huge amount of money at all, am just feeling even less confident than I was previously about using bitcoin and/or a mixing service again. It is my fault and a mistake I will not make again.

Thanks mate. I will do that next time. I am trying to contact the owner but it's a dead loss - I think an exit scam for sure.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. It was not bitmixer.io as I could see their service is stopped. It was https://bitcoin-mix.com/. It only says dissolved when you click on their trading name at the bottom which directs to companies house. There is a link to this dissolved company and this website https://cryptoforexltd.biz/?a=home as they share the same director and the same address in the UK. I am in touch with them now.

I appreciate what you are saying but it is difficult to know which ones are solid and reputable, especially when you are new and the site gives the appearance of being legitimate.

If it is gone then it is a hard lesson learned.

Hello,

Hoping for some good news. I bought some BTC from coinbase and sent it to an address which is a mixing service. The deposit never made it to the forwarding address and I have since learned the company have been dissolved even though their website appears to be up and running. I copied the transaction ID and in blockchain it shows the transaction as received but unspent. What does unspent mean please? Is it retrievable? Have I lost the money?

Many thanks
Tony
