I've received some spam pointing at that site that promise good interest rates to just deposit bitcoins to them.
The "about us" page is filled with the original template page (i.e.: nothing relevant to them).
It smells SCAM to me, anybody has experiences?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

i guess 99.99% of "high yield investment programs" are scams, but this subforum specifically i think is for accusations with proof. good luck with that!

Newbie thread: Btchyip a new bitcoin opportunities !Compare that subject line with the subject line and text of the email spam they send: Hi there, I recently found an awesome opportunities online for your bitcoin. It's www.btchyip.com, they offer 1.5% return on your deposit plus 5% on if you refer a friend. Please join under me and i will give you my bonus back on your first deposit ! my ref link is: www.btchyip... Tel you friend ! Bob So I would say McForet is the scammer/spammer himself. |

They probably used the hacked mtgox database, and yes, they are scam.

Got two of them as well. The spam comes from their own server! (lb2.btchyip.com, 184.22.178.46) Hosted by whoever owns hostnoc.net (seems to be US-based) Sounds like this might warrant a takedown of their hosting space... Who wants to contact the hoster?  |

Received three spam emails from btchyip.com so far today. The grammar used is a bit poor. Nothing yells SCAM harder than a poorly written email promising you instant riches. If the offer is so damn good, why doesn't the sender keep quiet and use it themselves? :-) postmaster@lb2.btchyip.comclient-ip=184.22.178.46 Sender is claiming a 'from' address of MtGox@mtgox.com. Yeah, sure :-) |
