There is a site out there that has been around for a while but it looks like a big scam.

https://ccminer.net/

They promise they make you money by mining, and trading between the exchanges etc etc, and actually you have to give it to them, they did up their site pretty well to take in coin.

Where the problem lies is.  They have been around a while and all that time, every few weeks it seems they change their 'program'.  Even though you may have signed up with them, the terms of the contract keep changing.

At first, say around November of last year, they were doing ok, they were making weekly pay outs like they promised.  Then the pay outs slowed and stopped.  Then the excuses started pouring in.  Then the gimmicks start pouring in.  They have CC Miner points or whatever they call them this week, you can earn points posting in their forum bla bla bla.

Next thing you know, you will be paid IF your balance reaches a certain point.  By this time, the money 'promised' daily and what you earned are VERY different, but then we are told, oh we promised you a Maximum of xx daily, not a guarantee.  Yes, the terms change over and over again, and NOT in your favor, and you are supposed to just be ok with that.

Recently, another wave of excuses and no payments (assuming you were able to reach their payout threshold, which changed more than once),  they stopped paying, stopped earning, stopped everything for a few months.  Plenty of promises that they were going to be bigger, better, yawn, whatever.

If you were to ask any questions regarding this in their forums, you get a snotty response back or just banned.

They recently 'restarted' their mining or whatever program, so they claim, and are going to start making 'everyone' money again.   

Here is another problem though.  The money that was in your account when they froze everything, and when they restarted it.  Remember now, this money is YOURS, it is money you EARNED, it is PHYSICALLY THERE.  You just have to reach the minimum to get it.  Well when they restarted the program, the balance on your account was roughly half of when they froze it.  If you ask, where did the money go that I earned, you are told, don't worry, you will earn it back and then some.  That's not answering the question, I already earned it once, why is it not there?

If you goto the site, all the 'happy customer recommendations' are from the program owners themselves.  One is in Italy, the other Taiwan I think, and I can't remember where they said the third person in their group is from.

If these people are not scammers, they are the most inept, irresponsible business people I ever seen.

This program started advertising again, folks do yourself a favor do NOT put money there, you probably won't get it back.

I would love for the owner of this program to come in here with the typical kicked puppy act and claim he's legit, and I am just trying to make them look bad etc.

WHERE did the money go that disappeared out of peoples accounts?  Answer that ONE question and we can go from there to re establish your reputation.  Oh and please, don't play the language barrier game, you speak English plenty well enough to answer questions.

A little on me.  I have been in this forum for quite a long time, not very often do I post but Ive been doing the bit coin thing and here for many years.  I lost my password for the forum, and the e mail registered is from an IP I no longer use so can't access it, so had to do a new account here.

Yes I know any investment is dangerous and most of them, pretty much all of them are scams, but I felt it was worth a few bucks just to see what this one was up to, since it was different than the general cookie cutter scam sites you normally see.  Now I know and am letting others know to stay clear.

First time I hear about it, there are more cloud mining services than I had imagined.
I will not be surprised if it is another scam.

Is cloud mining even profitable anymore?  With what you pay for the service and the difficulty to hash now, and 12.5 btc for a hit, can you make enough to pay your bills even anymore?
