Can both of you create a thread in Scam Accusations with any evidence you may have against these websites? Thanks.

I assume that you missed the three websites I gave you few days ago ? as you didn't add them : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326821.msg15974873#msg15974873

I did, my apologies.

URL : btc4gen.com

I've added these two to the main list. Thank you for the reports, and sorry for being late.

URL : bitcoinonline24.com

I'm hesitant to add this one as it somewhat fits the description in the OP:

I have removed any obvious ponzi sites (E.G "Double your bitcoins in 2 days") from the list and they will not be added

While this may not be a legitimate ponzi site (as in it doesn't pay out), though it still fits the description.

I'm not sure If it fits the description honestly (Still , It's up to you to decide), as It's not really a ponzi scheme , It's more like a malware.
If you check both btc4gen.com and bitcoinonline24.com , you will see that they ask you to download "BTC generators" which are executables.

[Radent]

STOP..!!

Vircurex.com also scam seriousely.. you can deposit, but can withdraw.

STOP deposit to VIRCUREX.COM

[numanoid]

STOP..!!

Vircurex.com also scam seriousely.. you can deposit, but can withdraw.

STOP deposit to VIRCUREX.COM

is that typo there? "you can deposit, but can't withdraw"?
Could you post all of your proofs/evidence you have in new topic scam accusation section?

After thinking about it, I will add this to the list. Thank you for the continued reports.

This looks like a scam promoter to me. His promoted site https://forexparadise.biz/ may look nice and all but his promised profits can't be real, they are too high. (130 BTC profit in one year for "investing" 0.25 BTC)

The site he is advertising is a HYIP (High Yield Investment Program). This is essentially a fancy acronym for a Ponzi/Pyramid scheme. Due to this, I won't add this site to the list.
If you are worried about his reputation regarding this, you can feel free to create a thread in Reputation about him for DT members to evaluate.

I found another user advertising his scam on the "Bitcoin Core 0.13.0 Released" thread but his post got deleted now. He was advertising this platform : duckbit.com (he also posted here too : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1611803.msg16266845#msg16266845 )

URL : duckbit.com

He is asking his users to download a file (JavaScript) (I guess it became a trend or something) , and It's getting detected as a virus , so It should be something malicious , I don't really know JS so couldn't tell what does it exactly :

After reviewing the code briefly I am not entirely sure what happens, but from what I can gather it downloads external VBE files and interacts with the Windows Shell. I would strongly distrust everything about this.
I have added it to the list, thank you.

Warning! All these SCAM sites have same owner!

btcmixers.com
deepwebreviews.com
torwallet.com    http://3hinuo4cve4pdysb.onion/
bitlaunder.com   http://yxku52sygpn7oubv.onion/
darklaunder.com  http://3js2eg2fkmu24th3.onion/
coinmixer.net    http://x3lzzuvdhzl7cwiy.onion/
Anonymous Bitcoin Wallet:  http://6wzv5ynuqqcfehag.onion/

You can verify by yourself. All transfers go in same BTC addresses.
All these sites were opened all in same days!
The registrar of all these sites is the same!

I tried personally with little amounts. They scammed me.

If you go on btcmixers.com and deepwebreviews.com there are all FAKE reviews.
These 2 sites suggest ONLY Tor Wallet, DarkLaunder, Coinmixer and BitLaunder as good.
You can't submit a review. The scammer owner never approve your review.

These onion sites change url monthly. They changed url dozens of times.
Put all in first thread list of confirmend scams!

Add bitmanusa.com to the list please. This place says they sell miners in the USA, but do not deliver the products after payment.

I had to file a dispute via PayPal since they are still telling me after 14 days that they are waiting on an e-check to clear, lol! That check cleared long ago.

[scammedme]

Bit-mix.com - Lost $200 to this site. Offer PayPal payments but it is setup as a personal payment so you cannot dispute. They accept payment quickly and then do not send BTC, payment status stays at Awaiting Payment. Support does not respond. Text on the site copied from CEX.io.

I have added all of these sites to the list by their .com addresses with the reference link to this scam accusation about the owner. I have not listed their .onion addresses due to, as you said, them changing fairly often. If you have something better for me to use as a reference link feel free to post it.

Anonymous Bitcoin Wallet:  http://6wzv5ynuqqcfehag.onion/

I haven't added this to the list due to it not having a .com url, and the .onion URL changing every so often. Thank you for the reports.

Please create a Scam Accusations thread about your issues with these sites and post it here to be added to the list. Thanks.

URL : blocekchain.info/wallet-legacy/indax.htm

the link above is advertised on Google Adwords and If you only visit the domain name , you will see a JPG picture of the actual blockchain.info wallet lol... It's too dumb but I thought I should report it .

URL : bi0ckchein.info/wallet-legacy/indax.htm

It seems like It's down  (and the first link I gave you got added instead) since It got reported yesterday (but adding it won't hurt as they could comeback) , See here reference : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1650849.msg16586364#msg16586364

Just lost 0.53 BitCoin (now ~$330) on this www.goldxcash.net.  I didn't realize that scam sites were common with BitCoin.  I understand now.  I guess the internet is now full of BitCoin scams, and the sites that are stealing never go down (this site has been scamming hundreds of thousands I'm sure over the last year)

How do I add this to the top reference?  Also is there a way we can tie this list into a checker app of some sort?

GoldxCash.net Is Scam

I Sent Money From My Skrill Account To GoldxCash.net "eCoins Exchange Service Provider", In Return of BitCoins To Be Sent To One of My BitCoin Accounts.

Skrill - Recipient's Name: Pavel Plastinin
Skrill - Recipient's Email: pavplst@gmail.com
Skrill - Amount: USD 1049.24  
Skrill - Transaction ID: 1673784104
Skrill - Transaction Time & Date: 10:02, 18 Jan 2016 CET

The Web Site "GoldxCash.net" Promised To Send Money In 2-12 Hours & Gave No GoldxCash.net Transaction ID OR Transaction Confirmation Page/eMail

After The 12Hours Passed Without Receiving My BitCoins, I Sent Them Several eMails (support@goldxcash.net, service@goldxcash.net, pavplst@gmail.com), But Received No Responses, I Tried The Two Phone Numbers Mentioned On GoldxCash.net Web Site (+1-212-568-5211 & +1-347-632-8688) But Discovered Both Are Not In Service.

I Searched For GoldxCash.net On The Internet & Was Shocked To Discover They Are Reported By Several People On Several Web Sites, As Scam Web Site Specialized In Money Fraud Via eCurrency Exchange Services.

When I Contacted Skrill, I Was Informed That This Is Inter-Personal Money Send Transaction Which Means Irreversible. On The Contrarily, This Skrill Transaction Was Done By Being Auto Transferred, From Merchant Web Site GoldxCash.net, To A Web Page Were I Was Asked For My Skrill Login Credentials, So As The Merchant Can Withdraw Money From My Skrill Account, Which Means This Is Reversible eShopping Transaction.

I Already, Reported The Whole Case, To "Better Business Bureau" & "eConsumer.gov".

Thanks for sharing it. I am new here. And, I'm desperately seeking a List of Bitcoin Scam Sites.

[OmegaStarScream]

URL :  beastminer.net/

Another guy asking people to download an executable to earn BTC . If you visit the download page beastminer.net/download/ you will get redirected to fastdownload.me/download/Seqn5afw2/BeastMiner-v1.47.zip/ . In that URL , you will see that he is claiming that the file is clean and secure but If you remove the additions from the URL and go back to Fastdownload.me you will see that there is nothing which means It's not an actual hosting website but he created it himself.

I thought about it little bit and I saw that the domain is .me and a scammer , he wouldn't want to spend much money and like I thought .. It was registered on Namecheap.com




It's not because It's too cheap but It's because Github Student package offers it for free (from Namecheap.com) , now If you click the red big "Download" button , you will get redirected to the real .exe in Github ! (the source code was removed) (obviously he bought only a domain without the hosting otherwise he would lose money on resources since he gets downloads)

Finally and the most important thing , It contains a virus :  https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/272361d6445ee06ccfee2c08a950ed126c63afdea8706ba30231836d516a799b/analysis/1477929975/

I hope I gave enough information's to get his website added to the list , I'm sure a lot of people are getting infected.
