Recently i conducted a complaint on the boreau of investigation against internet crimes  in the UK. The website has been taken down. The process of investigation is ongoing ... I suggest you open more complaints so they will have more data to complete the case. A big hug to all ... and report right now!

So, there is no way to get your money back now? To bad this scammers can get away with all of it..
I see now their facebook page and twitter account are gone.. I was logged in when it happened and
i saw they changed their facebook account to qwe*** something, i did not see it all thou i was in a
hurry reading this scam-rapport..
I was really looking forward to get in to cloud mining, but now all my invest are gone..  Sad guess we
need to learn the hard way..
If any has some tips to some nice mining contracts i´m all ears.

And also, i´m a little bit confused about the thread starter, screaming scam but the user itself has a
-4 in trust.. Can we trust him/her?

Sure, everybody´s assuming scam, they don´t deliver and the whole "to good to be truth" thing going
on, but i still think it is so confusing nobody has anything to complain until now, what happened to all
the ones ordering from them? Why haven´t we heard anything until now recently?

Where they good until one point or scammers all the way?

If you take the time to look at why Terrahasher's trust is low it's because he mistakenly called another site a scam and it turned out they were legit and fairly well known to others on the site who rallied to their defense and bashed Terrahasher.  He did apologize to the site he mistakenly called a scam and retracted his accusation, but the damage was done to his rep already and the people that gave him negative trust didn't retract.  I chatted with him a little shortly after this thread was launched and he seemed like a good guy that was just trying to help everyone out, but made a mistake on one scam accusation.

A tip for everyone is always take the time to do some searches on any company before you send any money.  I found bitcominers and was about to place an order, but did a search first and found this thread and a few others that warned me off.  I know it's tempting when you see a good price for an item that is never in stock to jump on it quickly before it sells out.  But that is exactly what they are counting on.  There are real losses and opportunity losses.  You are far better off risking an opportunity loss while you do some research than taking a real loss and sending money to a scammer.  If it looks too good to be true, it probably is, and tread very lightly.

I wish you all the best of luck in getting at least some of your money back, but I hate to tell you even if you do it will likely be years.  Any money is now "evidence" and you likely won't see it back until any legal proceedings against the "company" are finished.  Even then it will likely be a fraction of what you put in.  Occasionally people get all their money back, but it is rare.  I suggest you contact the bank listed previously, your country's law enforcement agency for this type of crime, the appropriate UK police agency, and the FBI in the US since they claim that's where they are located.

Sorry for your losses and best of luck in the future.

Your all welcome, it took a month, but the group made sure they website died. Sorry for ignoring you all for the month, i just got a little fed up with all the 10 yr olds on this forum and their dick measuring contests when not a one of them has over 1mm to speak of. Anyways, another scam dead and Interpol is still investigating to find the culprits.

Also i would never buy a miner with a picture of it that you can plainly see has been drawn. like http://minerwarehouse.com/product/alpha-technologies-viper-scrypt-asic-25mhs-batch-1-spot-pre-order/

it's fake don't buy from them

you guys could look into https://bit-mining.co/?ref=22953 . but i'v kinda have had some trouble with them i sent a little coin there and then a couple weeks later the GHS i bought was gone. But other people seem to be doing ok with them

I am testing some pools and it seems there is a relation between nicehash and ipominer.

Wasted a few btc to test that but it worth to expose a scammer.

If any of you can confirm that ?, I have very basic knowledge of coding.

as far only betarigs it was honest but they have bigger prices .

heheheh



There's no relation between Nicehash and IPOMiner, stop calling them Scammers -_-
