bitcoinblackfriday.info - Do NOT use their website.

[theymos]

Shoot, that really sucks. I removed the ad and added some warnings.

This sort of thing unfortunately can't really be prevented. Even if anyone had the time to exhaustively check a site for phishing links (etc.) before advertising them, the website could just change the links later. The only solution is for Web users to be constantly vigilant.

[Pro Gamers]

Thank you for the announcement i removed the signature now.

Looks like theymos changed forum advertisement as well, now it says :
"Warning: bitcoinblackfriday​｡​info (previously advertised here) is a scam site linking to phishing versions of several notable websites. See here for more info."

We made the news.

Code:

News: Warning: bitcoinblackfriday​｡​info is a scam. More info

Yes, and on the advertising spot it sometimes shows that warning with big red letters.
I hate phising sites, I once logged in to a fake facebook, but I realised it was faje so quickly change passwords.

Good job mods/admins/scam busters!

Thanks for the PM... I removed the signature.  I guess I should have spent a bit more time researching the signature provider and the links in their ads.  Hopefully nobody fell prey by clicking on it when I was advertising for them .

Good work OP and everyone else involved for bringing this scam to light.

Good catch NLNico. Although I am sure a ton of people signed up for their newsletter and could have possibly fell for the scam if they didn't check the website addresses. Fortunately it seems like gmail is blocking their e-mails and sending them straight to SPAM so hopefully that will help reduce the amount of victims and give them enough time to find this thread and other warnings. Also it's great that theymos added the announcement on the forum header, I would not have found this otherwise.

It isn't your fault.
They changed the links today, so you wouldn't have noted it even if you would have checked them when you joined.

Because of this signature campaign(bitcoinblackfriday) I found at that black friday existed, so I was very happy because I found out something new and cool. I signed up with my email, so I looked today for an email, but could not find it. Why did gmail,block it, did they know they were a scam? If it was not went to spam, I would have bought some stuff, I am very lucky that I have not checked my spam box

Thanks for discovering this scam Nico, and save some people from being scammed!

Gmail blocks these newsletter type e-mails quite frequently. I only ever check my spam folder when I am specifically looking for something that might've been sent there instead of my inbox. Gmail blocking them could be due to any of the following: poorly configured mail servers, mail servers/IPs are blacklisted, Gmail detected spam-like behaviour from the sender, etc.

I was strongly interested in this site both as seller and as buyer, I have also talk with some collegues about this site that on the paper sound well.
Thank you for the good work (also for how detect the alt count).

You can always contact bitcoinblackfriday.com? They are the real deal.

[mark coins]

Thanks for the info. I removed the signature now

[mixan]

From what is coming out of this is smith coins is the alt of the signature campaign's admin GotaPauj.
Luptin has confronted him with accusation here:
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1267751

it is still in the process but if his findings are solid then Smith coins should release those funds in escrow and pay the participants including the ending days bonus that is yet to be paid to them.

[jackg]

I didn't follow their announcements etc. so I don't know much about them. But just by looking at 5 of their top 8 ads:



deals.bitcoinblackfriday.info/offer/primedice-deposit-at-least-1-btc-and-receive-1-btc-for-free/
links to primedice.io instead of https://primedice.com

deals.bitcoinblackfriday.info/offer/trezor-the-hardware-bitcoin-wallet/
links to buy-trezor.com instead of http://buytrezor.com

deals.bitcoinblackfriday.info/offer/spondoolies-tech-sp50/
links to sqondoolies-tech.com instead of http://www.spondoolies-tech.com

deals.bitcoinblackfriday.info/offer/gyft-25-discount-for-all-gift-cards/
links to appgyft.com instead of https://app.gyft.com


Obvious scam is obvious.

And promoted by ~50 ppl in his signature campaign, well done guys.

edit: seems like they also have 1 ad on this forum...

I think the site was just offering paid adverts. They should really moderate the adverts, otherwise the leader will lose his neutral status on an established account. Fel free to give the accounts connected to these scams a minus activity with the risked-amount stated and refrenced from an image of a screenshot of the website!

This is what happens when people don't put disclosures on their websites
That's gotta hurt (6 minus trusts already)

No. He was initially linked to the scammer here. But he proved he sold the scammer's account before he committed the scam. So AFAIK smith coins is not an alt of the scammer.
thriftshopping is an alt of the scammer GotaPauj.

[lottery248]

shit. i guess that is their mistake, but i am now believing that that people submitted those stuff is scammer.

[EternalWingsofGod]

Thanks for the PM's
I did not know nor could I as the list was not given until the last minute I'm glad someone was monitoring it and I hope that the damage is minimal.

Thanks for your helpful advice. If wouldn't have checked this post out, I would have fallen for the same scam too. I was about to spend some of my BTC on one of the listed sites there but to be on the safe side, I guess I will just hold them for some time.
