I recently saw a guy recommending this website crypto-city.org in youtube. I opened up and saw it is a ponzi scheme which will rob the users sooner or later. I wonder why it became a .org and if it is even allowed to have a .org domain. Please shut it down or report it.

So what if it's a .org? I could get a .org domain for $2 or @10 /year.

The extensions doesn't really matter. See, .com generally means commercial, while .org is organization. There is no one and nothing regulating those.

.com is just the most popular and .org are usually used by non-profit organizations, trade associations and the like.

If it's a scam/ponzi then this thread should be enough as there isn't really anywhere to report such things.
When users do a check on the site(as everyone should always do),they'd see this thread and that's warning enough.

Thank you for your time to consider this. I thought it was mandatory for a .org to be non-profitable and hence, thought the website should be banned as it's name is misleading.

Nah, they just probably used it as it does sound and look more credible than the normal .com,.net,.io .

You could also leave them negative feedback(if they had a bitcointalk.org account) and/or leave a "warning" post to the youtube channel/link.

its a scam. I made a deposit of .02btc and will never get my btc back in my wallet..  I purchase some buldings the cheapest house, a black Friday sale, a new game map for 300% profit and a circus and a Coliseum...  my balance In btc kept on going backwards. today it got cut in half while swithing  screens....I think it stops the balance from gaining and cuts it in half so the players can never make a withdrawel..  Ponzi scheme for sure...

from Heavy Deisel , u can find me in chat at .bitsler.com  dice gaming site..

I invested into this game. I bought one building for 0.01btc. After week I withdraw my earned 0.01btc. One week later I visited to withdraw % which my building generated (it had to be 0.01btc). But building disappear and my ballance was empty.
At least I returned my investment.
Stay away from this ponzi game.

Whatever, Chantha Owen Lueung. What I smell is that you are behind crypto-city.org akin to Jeff Ownby owning the redirect scam sites pretending to be BFL back in the day ripping off hundreds of thousands of dollars.
