Apologies.

anyone confirm that bitmanusa.com is a scam?

Looks like it.After checking out the site thoroughly,I figured out the site is poorly designed for running a hardware selling business.And the suspicious part,only one address is staked with a pub key to send money to
...
Possibly run by an individual and not the team as displayed on the site.If I was you,I'd dare not to send any bitcoins to that address.

Has this site scammed anything from anyone? I don't know about adding something to this list without them actually stealing something.

You should add Genesis-Mining.com

It is a confirmed scam / fraud (check my thread if you are unsure we have plenty of testimonies) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1185909.msg12482453#msg12482453

I support this member. Genesis Mining should definitely be on the list to remove doubt to people who are new to bitcoin mining. Many websites still  promote it as a legit company, but a few websites have exposed it as an unethical company, e.g.
1.  https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@wisdomx44/scam-alert-do-not-invest-in-genesis-mining
2.  http://kipicommunity.org/genesis-mining-review-is-it-profitable-to-mine-with-genesis-mining/

I was considering not adding this simply due to it being the customer's duty to be sure that their investments are profitable, however since it seems to be more a case of false advertising and there are multiple references I will add it. Thanks.

Bitport.net Is A Scam Web Site...

Added to the list. Thanks again.

Scam exchange  site   coinmango.com   

Please provide some reference/source for your accusation, preferably in the form of a thread in Scam Accusations and I will consider adding it to the list.

Bitgold is still in pending list , even though you added it to the official one. I recommend adding "Goldmoney.com" too, as It's the new name of "Bitgold.com" . If people googles first , chances that they will search using the new name are higher so It's better to add both names.

Fixed and added. Thank you.

Please add the following scam sites to this list:

Torwallet.com - onion link: 3hinuo4cve4pdysb.onion
bitcointumble.com - onion link: d5zy5343sr4gonmu.onion
BitcoinCloudMiner.net

reference and explanation for all of the above links

Thank you!

Torwallet is already on this list, however I have added the clearnet addresses of the other two sites to the list with the reference specified. I haven't added the .onion addresses as I was told previously that said addresses change often. Can you confirm this? Thanks.

.onion addresses work somewhat similar to Bitcoin addresses in that they both use a public/private keypair. In order to host a particular .onion website, you will need the private key for that .onion address. Similar to Bitcoin addresses, it is unlikely that two people will generate the same .onion address based on the private key they create, and owners of .onion websites can use a "vanity generator" to create a "vanity" .onion address.

It is my understanding that the amount of resources it takes to generate a .onion address is similar to the amount of resources it takes to generate a Bitcoin address, however if you change the .onion address of your tor website, then you will need to tell anyone who wants to access your website your new .onion address (which creates security issues).

I understand that part. I was mainly concerning a previous post in this thread that reported the .onion addresses for sites owned by moriarty changed very often:

These onion sites change url monthly. They changed url dozens of times.

However, the onion site URL seems to have kept consistent from September to the time of your report, so I will add them to the OP. Thanks.

Since the previous thread by Tomatocage is now somewhat useless due to his inactivity I have decided to remake this list so it can be updated more regularly. I will also try to format it slightly better for easier readability. Thank you to Tomatocage for the original list.

Notice:
I have removed any obvious ponzi sites (E.G "Double your bitcoins in 2 days") from the list and they will not be added; everyone should already know to avoid these and adding them will only unnecessarily inflate this list. Faucets will also not be added to this list.

Please report any changes you would like to see here and I will take them into consideration and add them.

When reporting, please be sure not to include http:// in the URL, simply [domain].[ext].

When you suggest adding a site to the OP, you shouldn't use "http://" as this will create a backlink and will improve the sites rankings on google (and other search engines).

Thank you for your thread . it's very useful for me to stay away with these bullshit sites because i'm a newbie here
I had hit some sites like this and I lost money for this.

The onion addresses may change however they will never belong to someone else. Having the name of the site in the OP will probably suffice especially if users report the onion addresses in the replies as they will still show up in google search results.

Could you add cryptonator.com to the list? Reference here.

This has been resolved.

You should add Genesis-Mining.com

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. By the way, thank you for the time you're putting into this list. It's a great job you're doing.

I have another to add to your site;

Sharkoin.com It appeared to be legit but I soon found out it is a total fraud. I had played on this site for a few days making numerous deposits but no withdraws. Then suddenly I had a streak of luck an accumulated $1600. worth of bitcoins. I decided to cashout my winnings and perhaps return again sometime. Not so easy to say the least. The site operator began citing rules that I had broken and therefore wasn't going to pay me. First he said that I had been playing on more than one account, which I had, one on my mobile and one on my desktop but there were no rules stating that I couldn't. The he said I was using bots or robots (which I wouldn't know where to get or even uses these bots or robots) which was totally not true. In the end I asked him that if he had all these rules how was I supposed to know when none of them were on his website. He told me they were listed but when I showed him the screenshots of all the Google "last update" cached pages from the time I joined his site with no such rules, and the the most recent site that contained Google date and time stamp showing where he added these rules the same day he emailed me the reasons he wasn't paying me. It was at this point when I pointed out what he had done, he stopped responding to my emails.
Visitors to this site should be very careful about making deposits. He may pay out small "Cashout Requests" less than $50.00 to keep the scam going for as long as possible, but sizable withdraws will not be sent.

I have posted on this forum in the past (about a year ago) and it was a post where I came to the defense of Bitcoinvideocasino.com , I was tired of people posting false negative information about them and I felt the need to tell what my experience had been with them and that I thought they were the best online casino I had ever played and in fact had won several large jackpots and was paid everytime. So with that said, I'm not some kind of anti gambling quack that's just trying to lodge a false complaint, I'm just tired of being scammed by the people like the people behind Sharkoin, it's giving the entire bitcoin community a bad name. Everytime I try to introduce someone new to bitcoin I hear the same thing about oh that's that ecurrency that everybody scams each other out of.


Thank You, John Cabell

What did you expect to happen while being involved in some carding activities ? and this also not related to bitcointalk because you traded with somebody else on the forums so you should open a scam accusation there and not here.
