[A Likely SCAM] HybridMixer.com

[deisik]

That is really a new level of scam open a signature campaign to convince users the website is legit so they will deposit bitcoins there,

this show us again how carefully you need to be on this forum those days and that you can trust no one anymore for a penny hopefully no one did lose any bitcoins yet in this scam!

Here's an interesting entry in shotev's post history (translation follows):

Пoкa ocoбыx пoдpoбнocтeй нeт нo нaмeчaeтcя нoвaя кoмпaния пoдпиcнaя мeня взяли чтo-тo типa мeнeджepa пo paбoтe c клиeнтaми нa cтaвкy

Don't have any specific details yet, but a new signature campaign is to be run soon, I was hired as a sort of manager to work with clients for a fixed pay. I know for certain that the local boards will be allowed (the Russian one for sure and others probably too).

It's a mixing project but with a lot of currencies plus addition of any new ones on request

So it seems that this user might have been used unwittingly, and he is not the real culprit behind all this affair (or affaire, lol)

[Skyripper]

These users are evidently two different persons (though affiliated in some way, maybe friends). Shotev's Russian is terribly broken at times (with a lot of spelling mistakes which native speakers usually don't make), while bitevil's language is fluent colloquial, the one you would expect on a forum like this...

Go on with reading their post histories

I only found the same orthographic mistakes and many posts in the same topics.

Also try to translate the last post of bitevil. It looks like he's the only one who received a payment from the mixer.

Their writing styles are different, though I have a firm suspicion that someone else had been occasionally posting under shotev's account (especially recent posts), who doesn't speak Russian very well. Just an example of his broken Russian. The specificity of spelling mistakes and the choice of words in the quote below betray a non-Russian speaker (the real shotev's posts don't have such mistakes at all):

Oнo бyдeт пиcaть тaк пoкa нe нacтyпит 6 пoдтвepждeний этo нe oбeзaтeльнo Bы мoжитe зaкpыть этo oкнo
Пo ycлoвиям пpишлитe cкpиншoт в ПM c тpaнзaкциeй я пpoвepю в cиcтeмe и нaчиcлю 1 LTC

Someone (the mixer's owner?) is promising to credit 1 LTC on the conditions given in the campaign thread

The last post of bitevil (with translation):

Hy я зaбaxл мнe пpишли пpaвдa c 3-4ч зaдepжкoй нo вpoдe вce нopм

Well, I threw [some coins] in and I got them back, after a 3 to 4 hour delay, though. Everything kinda seems to be okay

He tried mixing his coins and got them back after a few hour delay. Whether he has been paid remains unknown

As I'm inclined to think, the latter is much more likely. Scammers gonna scam no matter what, but I still give that guy the benefit of doubt, that he didn't fully understand what he had been used as, for, and just plain old used...

And after he finally got it, he miserably ran for cover

[DarkStar_]

It's been over 24 hours since I sent my mixing transaction of 0.1BTC like and idiot, so I would say it is safe to call the website a scam.
@ttargett, I really doubt he was actually going to do and avatar campaign, and was simply using the campaign to get more people to deposit in his scam.

Yeah, he deleted the post in the 1000 btc giveaway, very nice move on archiving it first.  There is now no doubt about it that liqui, hybridmixer and those three users
are all scammers. If you take a look in liqui thread, you can clearly see that people are starting to realise they were scamed.
Offering 24% interest rates as an exchange, how did noone catch this and tagged it as ponzi ?

Do your research before posting. 24% APR isn't an unreasonable rate, and the investor based games section writes that sites with an unreasonably high APR should go there. 24% APR in fiat investments is definitely possible without scamming, which is why it wasn't tagged as a ponzi.

Hopefully laiyskylone didn't scam too many people/a lot of Bitcoin, and that people only put what they could afford to lose in his mixer. Luckily, they didn't decide to build up trust before running away with more funds

At very first of there existince i really doub't that theres something wrong with there service, and as you can see on liqui they got an interest feature on their site and the question really there where did they get the money to payed out there investor? Big question mark they, so that really determine that site is a ponzi. And secondly when hybridmixer arrive and give the same promotion like liqui gives i really think the two sites have the same owner with the same agenda.

I think those two site are made for scam purposes.

[lemipawa]

1. 100 participants needed on his signature campaign to let everyone know of their existence
2. There are bonuses to be given to use their mixing service
3. No transaction fee until a certain date

Take all of those in consideration and you will smell fish, they are are throwing everything including the kitchen sink just for you to send your coins to them.

[OmegaStarScream]

In the meantime and for some reasons that I don't understand , people are still advertising this service in their signature even after getting both threads closed + Google spreadsheet deleted. People should seriously start using their brains to detect scams ...

EDIT : HybridMixer.com is down as well.

Shucks, they are down now since they're scam attempt has been busted already luckily it was prevented earlier and i hope they didn't scam anybody here, and the second site we must gonna watch now is liqui and i think they are also running a shaddy business to, maybe they are affiliates with hybridmixer or shall we say they have the same owner since they have similarity the way the promote their site and the giveaways they give to their very first promotion

They did scam few people since last time I saw the website because the mixed coins number was rising (like 4.1 BTC or something) and there were few active users as well... It's no big deal compared to other scams but It's still people's money...  we are lucky that we exposed them before they could take more.

As for liqui, It indeed looks like something fishy going on there ; I wouldn't recommend people depositing big amounts there unless we make sure they are trustworthy.

What are you talking about ? 24% interests per year for a damn exchange ?! You can't possibly pay that from fee's you earn because there is no guarantee that
trading fee is larger than the interest you need to pay out. But please, do show me an example of another exchange with such high interest .

btw can you post tx of your transaction (where you lost 0.1BTC) , could be worth exploring where the money went.

Though I pretty much agree with you (24% is too good to be true), but strictly speaking almost all major exchanges out there (if not all) are earning money in a lot of other ways beside just collecting trading fees...

For example, they may earn good interest on lending money to marginal traders

Look on it from profitability side, if the exchange earns a lot of money from trading fee's , why would they waste it on people's interests ?
I'm convinced they use it only to give incentive to people to deposit funds in their exchange.

This is laughable :

Glad to see everything is rolling out fine with the exchange, but i still have some question that are still not answered, if you would be so kind ;

1. What are your revenue sources with which you are planing to pay daily interests ?
2. For what exactly are funds placed on interests used ?

1. They will use 75% of trading fees to cover the interest payments. First year they will pay interest expenses even if there is little or no income from trading fees (up to 200 BTC I think)

2. I'm not sure about this one but I would imagine they are just stored in the exchange account and not used on anything.

Exactly!

So, they claim to use trading fee's (from some ghost traffic i guess) to pay interests , and to use interest funds for ... nothing... awesome !

[Zoomer]

I have the feeling that liqui are the same guys, they are working over 48 hours now on the crypto server no withdraws are possible and some users including me not got paid yet for the signature they are running lets hope they are not doing the same, just before this incidence happened i wanted to deposit 1 btc to get interest i am so happy that i have not done it!
