BTCrow.com Escrow Service Fraud

[keystroke]

Do you know which email is that one that is supposedly spoofed?

[keystroke]

Did you see the new message which pops up when you go to their site?

It looks like it came from a webmail program iRedMail, running on a VPS in Alicante, Spain.

X-PHP-Originating-Script: 1000:functions.php

The IP of that machine is 5.134.117.43. This is the hosting provider, http://lowendbox.com/tag/ginernet-com/

Did you see the new message which pops up when you go to their site?

Thank you key!

IMPORTANT
Please remember, we NEVER send the escrow's payment address via email. If you receive a bitcoin address via email is being victim of a scam with a spoofed email address.

Unsure this message from BTCrow is new or helpful, hopefully they will update & amend their protocol asap. It is clear they still only worry about the receipt of payments to them & place no priority to see the payout reaches a legitimate address. Further, the frauds/hackers are privy to their bogus service which fails to safeguard funds and are able to take full advantage. Indeed BTCrow is either a selective scammer and/or utterly incompetent.

Maybe you want to contact the hosting provider and ask them who owns 5.134.117.43 at the moment. The host takes bitcoin though so it might be hard to trace. They also do CC, PayPal, and wire transfer.

So long BTCrow, good luck with your plan to scam another party via your website/'business' sale!

Thank you for being a lying scumbag & making off with undeserved/stolen btc!
View BTCrow support deceiving their customer when ask where the payment was/went. They claim the receiver address was stored encrypted via email: http://imgur.com/X3rBbyj

and clearly the selective scammers have full access to payout address they choose to withhold within their admin:

NOBODY purchase BTCrow.com the SCAM Escrow Fraud

Totally not surprised at all. This site was sold 2-3 times since its inception.

The owner prior to the guy that just scammed you was selling the site for $1300 in December 2014.

The new owner just made a 20k + profit by scamming you, and who knows how many others. Not a bad gig. Now he will sell the site and the next owner will continue to selectively scam.

There is no NEW OWNER,is the fucking same.

Just because a website uses the word escrow, doesn't make them trustworthy, why would anyone send such sums to random strangers on the internet? Looks like they played you for a fool and used insider knowledge to manipulate your funds into their wallet. Probably not hard to find whoever is behind BTCrow, but they are probably on holiday right now spending your money. Karma will come back to get them but the police will help too.

NOBODY purchase BTCrow the SCAM Escrow Fraud

Again, gfy BTCrow & thank you for your disservice to the community. Real class act you are to advertise your 59btc scam against me a top your commissions spreadsheet to prospective buyers: http://imgur.com/NMNbitB

Shame on the buyer who has interest in buying BTCrow (particularly as they claim someone is bidding upwards of 1300btc)!

About 5 years back, BTCrow was purchased by:
                             
William Hulskamp - from Australia                   
biometrics74[at]gmail.com 

He sent me an email before telling me his name is Paul, so I don't think he resold the website and this is the guy who scammed everyone.

here's the body of email:
==================================================================

Hi,

Could you provide a little more info on this site. Do you have any
aggregated statistics for escrow transactions e.g.

Number of transactions (per month, since started ...)
Average transaction value

Also what are the hosting requirements? e.g. Windows, Linux ...
development platform(s) (php, perl ...), database (mysql?), and third
party software requirements. Also could it run on shared hosting?

Kind Regards,

Paul
