How do these scammers do this so successfully? So they replicate the real site with an almost-identical URL. But how do they get it indexed on Google's search page?
They are paying Google to show their ads, making them to be the first option when you search for Bitmixer.

People will just trust the first link they see, and believe that the website is indeed legit.



Thanks for that. Is it possible to report the ad to Google? If yes, how?

I just visited that bitmixor site and did a trial transaction (I didn't send anything of course) to see how they do it. Amazing. Everything is replicated detail-rich. Even the green SSL indicator is there. If people are not careful, this can generate easy money for these criminals. Especially because all they need to do is sit back and wait for naive people to take the bait. They could be out shopping or having dinner with family while bitcoins keep pouring into their wallets. The sophistication in the way they engineer these scams is insane.

We are launching a new P2P Escrow service! Please check out our website Btcescrowpro.com for more information. We are working on developing an automatic escrow system, but we do have a manual system in place. Our service is currently suited to transactions under $500.


Tell us all why we should trust you. Why we should simply send funds bitcoins or funds to you as middle man.

1305  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: [ANN] New P2P escrow service on: July 30, 2017, 04:12:00 AM
Do you even know who they are, do you know if the information provided is correct? don't act like an idiot, that site looks like it was made by a 5 year old who had 5 minutes to spare, the logo was made using an online image editor, only an idiot would fall for that https crap.
I would trust this service over some of the escrow services provided here. Ofc, it is a matter of opinion



Ohhhhhh I get it. Just finished putting 2 and 2 together. OP and you are in cahoots. Or one and the same. That's the one. Spot on.

So you wanted to use them as an intermediary bank? I'm guessing your bank doesn't allow transfers to Kraken or bitcoin exchanges or makes such transfers cumbersome with lots of AML-related paperwork attached?

1308  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Where is my money??? on: July 29, 2017, 05:41:09 AM
What a horrible exchange. They represent everything that bitcoin isn't about or supposed to be.

A bitcoin withdrawal which takes days. A third world company operating in a first world country.

Why do you say "but"Huh

It's as if you are a scammer who disagrees with being identified.

1310  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Buying BTC for TransferWise on: July 29, 2017, 02:38:07 AM
you have pm
I responded to your PM and I don't think this will work out, I will be updating my listing to make it clear.

Transferwise does not support my currency (INR/India) so we wont be able to work this out unfortunately.
What do you mean by that? so you mean you decided to accept something you know nothing about? It works perfectly with Indian Rupees, we didn;t have an actual deal and if you wanted to back out of it you should have just said so.




This reinforces my impression of Indians. See? You are about to finalize a transaction with them and boom they have a change of mind or something weird comes up. They are adept in this bait and switch thing. They lure you with some kind yes-yes-yes-I'm-perfectly-happy-with-this sort of transaction and then just when you are about to execute the transaction, something is switched. I'm quite vocal of this trait of theirs. It portrays them as dishonest people to trade with. Zero consistency.

On another note, this particular case could be a scam attempt. An attempt to lure you to send the money first but he probably realized that isn't happening. No chance of a a transaction where you send first sans escrow so he uses this weak excuse of INR being a non-supported currency to quietly escape from a potential red trust.

which you can keep even if I pay back the loan.

lol.  I love how you didn't even use the word when.


I wish this forum had a like/dislike feature. I would have liked this.
1312  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: New Casino ZoomDice.com IS SCAM ! on: July 28, 2017, 07:14:44 PM
3-5 days is ridiculous, especially over such a minor amount. Please explain why the lengthy wd time?


Lengthy waiting time = hoping the player would forget about it and drop the topic for good

Minor amount x hundreds of naive players = jackpot

1313  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: luckygames.io SCAM on: July 28, 2017, 05:13:44 AM
Hi

I started to play Cells on luckygames.io a few months ago. It's funny game, which is very profitable sometimes. I gradually raised my bets. And suddenly strange things began to happen - i could lose about 95% of my bank for a few rounds of cells. At some moment i had more than 4 BTC on my balance, but lost them very fast. So, I decided to check cells fairness.

During my investigation, I had many different accounts on luckygames.io with different deposits of different cryptocurrencies, from different sources (including transfers inside luckygames), and so on.

Also, I wrote a script that saves the multipliers of opened cells. Than script checks if they match the multipliers in the hash of round after the end of the round. That is a great thing that helped me sort out.

So, I made the following conclusions:
There is «maximum bet» in cells game for some players. Player stably often will receive a zero instead of multiplier for bet greater or equal to «maximum bet». According to my estimates, somewhere in 25% of cases. That dramatically increases the margin from 0.5% to about 26%.
Here is video proof: https://vimeo.com/225903821

During my investigation, script systematically informed me about deception of other players during playing cells, not only me.

The restriction applies to all currencies in accordance with its rate. For example, if the «maximum bet» is 0.001 BTC, then «maximum bet» is about 0.01 for ETH, about 0.5 Monero XMR, and so on.

«Maximum bet» is not established for new players. Except in cases where the system has identified a new account as another account of existing player with «maximum bet». But later, admin will set «maximum bet» for you manually if you play cells a lot and win.

«Maximum bet» was equal to 0.01 BTC for me a month ago. Then, it became equal to 0.001 BTC. And now, «maximum bet» was equal to only 0.0001 BTC for me before ban. By the way, the official limit on the maximal bet is equal to 0.1 BTC.

There are more than 174 BTC total wagered on my account. Somewhere 20% of this amount are large bets on Cells. It's 34.8 BTC. Half of cells have prizes. It's 17.4 BTC. About fourth part of the bets was scammed. It's 4.35 BTC. Average multiplier is 2. So, net loss is about 8.7 BTC. In any case, i am still in some plus.

I did not check the fairness of other games at luckygames, but I'm sure that there's same scam. Has anyone checked fairness of other games on big bets?

I wanted to collect more evidence, but today the admin removed the old game logs. I think he had read my private messages on luckygames, in which I shared my observations with other players.

So, do not play on luckygames.io.

PS: russians is so russian


I love it when people like you dissect and digest the scam artistry behind these so-called casinos. These thieves should be exposed.

1315  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: btc-e.com is a scam on: July 25, 2017, 08:32:52 AM
Hi guys...

I urge everyone to submit a collective report to the Economic Crime Command of the NCA. Link:

http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/about-us/what-we-do/economic-crime

In particular, SARs should be reported as they are perpetrating fraud.

http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/contact-us/reporting-suspicious-activity-sar

Please also submit police reports to the Financial Analytical Unit (FAU) of the Czech Republic's AML authorities and to all other jurisdictions where they operate bank accounts.

For those in the U.S. I encourage everyone to file collective reports to FinCEN:

https://www.fincen.gov/contact

If there are other jurisdictions they are active in, please have a look at this list of financial intelligence authorities:

http://www.fiu.az/eng/foreign-financial-intelligence-units/

They should not be allowed to defraud people further. It's time for them to be the next AlphaBay.

are you buying or selling? I am buying.

Is English not your first language? Or is it but you are not literate enough to understand simple English? "Very trusted members only"
1317  Economy / Lending / Re: Want a loan of 1 BTC , Have collateral in LTC on: July 24, 2017, 10:25:38 PM
I'd be interested to fill this but not for 1BTC.

Usually lenders ask for at least 120% collateral. If you are going to use 65 LTC then I could give you a 0.085 btc loan. If you agree let me know.


What a strange and weird counteroffer. He wants 1 BTC and you reject and counteroffer 0.085. Not even 10% of the proposed loan amount.

Unless you meant 0.85, then that would be a fairly reasonable counteroffer.

But if you truly meant 0.085 as per your post above, then you are indeed a loan shark and should be red tagged accordingly. I despise people who take advantage and exploit other people in such horrendous ways, a classic example of which is exemplified here.

1318  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: buying 0.1 BTC at PREEV -1% payment in bank account USD and EUR on: July 22, 2017, 05:42:37 AM
dear all,
i'm a newbie
i want to buy 200 EUR worth of BTC at PREEV -1%
i can pay in your bank account
i will require proof of identity of the owner of the bank account
i'm not familiar with ESCROW but people on this forum say it's a must, so let's use it, seller pays the fees regarding this procedure (i see on this forum that people trust other people, if the seller is trustworthy then i guess we don't need to use ESCROW)
pm for details or feel free to give here good advice



What an idiot. It's YOU who is buying BTC. It's YOU paying from your bank account. It's therefore YOU who must provide proof of identity and go through the rigors and hassles of proving bank account ownership and not the seller!

This is why criminal psychology is an ever evolving field. All these criminals thinking of ways to psychologically manipulate transactions. This is a perfect example. By writing what you wrote above, you are trying to paint a picture of yourself as someone who is vulnerable and therefore deserves all this information. This is what I see however:

1. You want people to send you sensitive information about bank account ownership. It's highly likely that this is not about buying 0.1 BTC. You are paying from a bank account which you might have hacked or stolen and yet you ask the coin seller to provide proof of ownership of his account? Why? That's the million dollar question.

2. Escrow is a must, yes, but it seems you are saying this to prevent scam busters here identifying your true intentions.


1319  Economy / Lending / Re: Need 0.2 btc loan for 7 days collateral on: July 21, 2017, 12:32:54 PM
Hi I need 0.2 btc loan for 7 days....
Collateral only Bitcointalk full member account
No lie !


It's hard enough to get a loan without valid collateral. It's even harder if you have no collateral and Indian. Indians tends to be calculating generally. And most of those I interacted with financially were dishonest.

I recommend that nobody fill this loan. Not even 1% of it.

1320  Economy / Goods / Re: Bitcoins Card on: July 20, 2017, 10:44:11 PM
IT WOULD BE YOUR NAME OVER IT OR WHAT?

Yes it is having my name on it. I am using it for a quite a time, at least 1 year and half, I can't remember exactly.

It works acceptable, sometimes the system is having some errors but over all is really ok.


OP, why not just order a card of your own? Do not (even for a second) consider offers from scammers (like this blo8i who posted above). If you don't want to lose money, use your own card. If you use a thief's card, that thief will steal your money. Remember, he has the following advantages:

1. Access to his bitcoin card's account (he can reset it anytime)
2. Option to cancel the card by calling the card issuer and having a new card re-issued (after he sees that you deposited bitcoins into the card)
3. If he holds a second card, he can simply access the card he sent you and have all your money transferred to his second card.
4. He sounds Indian. Certified scammers.
