A list of bad sites?

[sabevissia]

I am new to the entire cryptocurrency in the first place so very new to BitCoins as well. Is there a place that lists known bad sites? I learned the hard way that the idea of a doubler site is false/fake, such as http://bestdoubler.eu/ for example. They just take what you send them and that's it.

what bad site? if i see that you write about doubler, then i will give suggestion to you to stay away from the doubler because its not really work, i think its only work for the first people and in the first time of launching the site and after that, you are only send your money and not getting profit at all. so please be careful when you want to make a deposit.

Here's a list of scam sites(user generated) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326821.0
Another way would be using the search function  on the forum, see if it turns up scam accusation threads or you could directly go to the scam accusation section and look through it. Googling would also turn up some.

Definitely look through this thread to see if you're dealing with a scam site. It's also a good idea to see if anm scam accusation is opened and of course good old common sense + a quick google. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

[Herbert2020]

a list of good sites would be a lot shorter than the other way around! and if you are looking for a specific service then look for the top providers and then use google to find some feedback about them or ask on the forum.

and also i see you are talking about a doubler, it is obvious that all of these types sites are scam, there is no need for a list because everyone knows that.

1.Check out the scam accusation section of the forum very often and stay updated with latest scams .
2.Stay away from doublers and all investment sites ,basically Micro earning section of the forum.
3. Generally ,before using any website ,make sure you check out their reviews either here on bitcointalk or google.
4.A lot of fake coin mixing services are in the trend now,do your homework before sending coins to random addresses.

You posted in the right place, how did you know?

Is there a place that lists known bad sites?

Search on google

I learned the hard way that the idea of a doubler site is false/fake, such as http://bestdoubler.eu/ for example.

You could have said: "I learned the hard way that the idea of a doubler site is false/fake"
But you left this link: http://bestdoubler.eu

My guess, this site http://bestdoubler.eu It's yours and you came here to promote it.

Bitcoin doubler is a scam. Dont try putting all your bitcoin there. They will just run with your bitcoin. Stay away from any bitcoin doubler sites. They always say that they will double your bitcoin in just 2 hours. Thats bullshit! There are no easy money. Just hold your bitcoin. Dont invest your bitcoin to any investments unless you know its legit and trustworthy.

A list of bad sites will not help completely as same scammer always will come up with new site, still having a list will save you from falling into a well known scam. But, no list will be versatile to cover all existing scams. We need to check site specifically fore reviews. If no reviews available, do not invest.

[BuySomeBitcoins]

This is not how it works pal.


You would have to end up on a website, and then check the reviews, this is how girls do the shopping and this is how smart they are.

You can post a concern about a certain site in this forum (https://bitcointalk.org) and see how other users think of a particular site and wait for a review. Also there is a certain site called badbitcoin.org where all ponzis are listed in their bad list.

But what if you encountered a newly made ponzi site and there's no review after all? Then you have to maximize your knowledge in the thing called "obvious". Earning without doing nothing in a site is totally a shit. Offering you a good returns in just a short period of time for let's say "double your shit within 24 or 48 hours" or something is really unbelievable. It's should be obvious why the hell your money will grow on a certain site just by depositing and will just wait.

Work to earn rather than relying on those shit site with shit returns promised.

Yes, no list will be dynamic to have info on latest phishing attempts. But, we can get good site's review on this forum, so staying safe with our bitcoins not that big challenge.

You can check the service discussion section, I can't seem to find where it is at the moment but you have a complete list of scam websites and it's updated with the newest ones when they come up.

Depository catalogs of scam projects/sites are not ideal solution. Because:

1. If some site is proven to be scam they usually run off with your money and close.
2. People usually are no interested in scams in general - they are interested in one service they want to check googling this will usually be sufficient to find out whether it is a scam or not.
3. You can easy spot certain scams at first glance, so creating site dedicated to list scams made by kids or idiots is waste of time IMO.

Cmmon dude, Bitcoin doubler? Money does fall down from the sky. Dont be stupid.

It's true, the essence of a fraudulent scheme is to appear and disappear very fast, doesn't worth the time listing them. And after disappear they come back fast with another name (but same offers).

The best way to identify a scam scheme is just looking their offers, if it's too good to be true, if they have any proof of legit service, if they have a real central or something that give them legitimacy.

Anyway, just to say a scam one here that is currently popular, I add to the list: Recyclix.

any sites that offer you a big profit from a small investment or a big investment for a small profit then this are like the site that are goin to scam you if a site look a con then I sure it will be.

I think you are describing ponzi sites, which are definitely a scam. Anything that sounds too good to be true is probably a scam.

Also OP, 999Dice and Betcoin.ag have scam accusations open against them, so you might want to check those accusations out.
