1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Warning : Scam website on: September 01, 2014, 05:12:34 PM
Guys, please BE AWARE OF the following scam website:
bitx10.com


I do not know if someone actually posted such a link here, but if someone was advertising it should be banned ASAP. I am working for a hosting company and just received an abuse report regarding this website :

Message: Fraudulent Site being hosted: bitx10.com Please note that the owner of the above mentioned site runs a fraudulent scheme and have thus far funneled thousands of dollars through the website. He offers people ten times their money back within a day. If one however go into detail and analyse the deposits received against the payments being made its very clear that no money is ever returned to any investor. All this information is readily available on the Bitcoin blockchain for anybody who is willing to do a bit of leg work. The payouts being listed on the site is all a scam and most probably money that is just bounced form one account to another to create the impression of \'payouts\' As they say, suckers are born every minute and this is clear by the number of deposits this person is raking in. For today alone there is more than ten already. If at all possible can this site be shut down before more innocent people lose their money to this scammer. Regards ****  ( censored by me )

The above mentioned information is all fake, the provided details for the account were actually from Netherlands.



The domain will no longer be hosted on any of our platforms ( including Freehostia ).  
The account was blocked right away, and i have advised the one who reported it to also forward this report to the registrar, to have the domain Superlocked ( serverHold ).

I will attach screenshots of what the website looks like. I  may as well actually report it to the Registrar.

The domain is currently not operationable, but soon it may come online again.
