Take extra precaution on entering their maybe thats a fake email for them and the main purpose is to scam those who are victim of hashocean, knowing many scumbag people riding this sadfull event and ride the oppurtunity of the people who wants to have refund.

Better dont click it so you will not attract their offer hashoceqn is gone and move on.

[Ardenyham]

This is an extreamly fake email by them . I don't know what is the reason to send such emails to the users who never used hashocean. but just joined it.. I think if I check my old email address, I also can see a mail there..

and Can you believe it? a huge company with 700,000 investors don't even have any backups? this is hell.

the truth is they had plan to scam users and never comeback. I am sure they have all backups. but now they are just lying.

and The above site is also not working. showing me an error that "Site is not Reachable"

[Darwin02]

After scam accomplish their repeated again , please do not be fooled be alert and careful with your money . Dont waste your bitcoin there try to scam again in second time.

I received this message, but it looks more seriuous then other:

Dear members/miners,
as you may have noticed our domain has been hacked and sold, this was beyond our control and despite our teams very best efforts we have been unable to recover it. Our official Facebook, Twitter and Youtube accounts have also been hacked and closed.
We have had to take the unprecedented step now to admit defeat, the hackers have won and Hashocean is no more.
Our domain and our Data Centres were not directly linked but to be sure our members investments were protected we have been forced to cease all mining operations with immediate effect and transfer all remaining BTC (Approx $3,500,000) to a new secure wallet as we can't be 100% sure the hackers won't be able to get access to your investments eventually.
We have been able to recover a partial backup containing our final full days transactions/payouts along with our customer database and wish to refund as many of our customers as possible but we fear this might not be possible as we suspect the hacker/hackers may of been clients who accessed our domain via fake customer accounts they had setup so the only way we can resolve the matter is as follows:
(Customers will be refunded strictly on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis, when the secured funds are gone, they are gone)
Please carefully take note of the EXACT amount of the last confirmed BTC payment you received from us dated 26th June 2016.
Please send this EXACT amount of BTC to the below secure wallet address - please include with the payment notes your registered email address for Hashocean (DO NOT SEND ACCOUNT PASSWORD)
1PJHPsfHt9v4ybSoC6u7F8ndH9K6mpxHC
We will cross reference your payment and email address with our backup records and as long as they match we will then refund that payment along with your investment back to your accounts registered wallet.(We estimate the process to take no longer than 72Hrs from receipt of your payment to processing of refund)
Please note we will only be refunding the funds you invested plus any re-invested funds, we will not be refunding any sign-up/referral/bonus funds at this time - we think this is the fairest approach so as to refund as many of our loyal investors as possible, if after this process is complete there are any funds remaining we will then start the process of refunding any referral/bonus funds, again on a first come, first served basis - watch this page for updates.
Finally please be extra careful with your account details, we have been informed of a number of fake websites etc. that have been set up using our name and tricking people into disclosing their wallet details, email address and passwords - PLEASE do not send any of your personal details to anyone ever by unsecured methods such as email or website.
Check the address given above with address posted under this sentence.

Make transfer ONLY after double checking.

I see this message as a joke.

If they supposedly say someone stole and sold his domain, means that the database, account bitcoin and  mining has not problems.

Why would ask you to send bitcoin to have refund? does not make sense.

[ardentvolcanoes]

they are a complete evil , after the successful scam they are not asking for an activation key in able to give a refund to those people who have invested to them . lmao those people would be a complete idiot if they are believing to that email .

Yes! Over a half million users and no backup? What in the blue hell were they doing over there?

I don't think the refund email thing is legit (that is, it's not from HO), but it's obviously a scam. Send money to process a refund? And with a domain that indicates this email as preplanned? I'd pass. Just take your lumps folks, and move on.

The way I see it, lots of scammers are taking the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Could be a double, in an attempt to scam more money. Anyone remembers the firecracker packages from Hashie.co?

These scammers are getting way out of hand.

Lmao and thatis very suspicious they have been operated since 2012 and gathered so many users without doing any backup maybe we can say that it is not actually from the hashocean and of course it is just another scam . But even if it not from them hashocean is still a scam

[killerjoegreece]

Try to avoid more scams like this guys

I guess it's just deceiving

[Slow death]

I'm having people who were paid today and yesterday, would not show me txid, but showed me payment images.

I do not want anyone invest in this site, but so many people who made loans to invest in this site and so I pray you have your money back!

[khvmaths]

Only 3 tranx on 1btc page and 0 tranx on 0.1 and 0.5 BTC?? hmm...

All of the address they sent has a final balance of 0 BTC.

[TastyChillySauce00]

If they don't have backup to database, why they still know email of 700,000 users
Are they trying to earn even more money after their business is "hacked" ?

the word "hacked" commonly used by them when shutting down a webstie maybe to make people feel pity to them which result no sue,and i think so about the database,i wonder if just 5000 users of 700,000 trust them and send them btc around 0.1 they could get 500 bitcoin,i guess there's still exist a people who's stupid enough to trust hashocean

[bhantom]

Next email with scam attempt! Do not get fooled! They just want to get more money!

[JeffBrad12]

Next email with scam attempt! Do not get fooled! They just want to get more money!

no one can believe with they offered,email and another form to getting more money from here. just say bye to everything have relationships with the hash ocean. and say bye to cloud mining site and try a new way for your life to get next profit from this.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I'm having people who were paid today and yesterday, would not show me txid, but showed me payment images.

I do not want anyone invest in this site, but so many people who made loans to invest in this site and so I pray you have your money back!

I guess your prayers will go unanswered as they already gone with more than 3 mln usd and are having some nice party on some exotic island now. People should stop expecting or hoping to get their money back, its done, its game over. Just be smart now and don't send them even 0.001 bitcoin as I have seen the latest scam attempt was an email where they were asking for just 0.001 bitcoin to confirm your wallet address. It appears this latest group of scammers are happy even with a small amount of bitcoin (for example 10.000 users sent 0.001 bitcoin and they receive 10 Bitcoin) as they think many people will try their luck with such small amount. Don't send them even this small amount.

[Grinder]

The scam was HashOcean. They took your money and when the ponzi folded they got "hacked" like almost all the other bitcoin scams that have existed through the years. Stop being so gullible. The chance that you'll find a profitable way to invest bitcoins is pretty much zero. You will get scammed if you try.
