[ANN][LTC] Online Litecoin wallet - LTC-Wallet.com

This is a shame to hear.

One thing I don't get is he had a litecoin wallet and a feathercoin wallet but no Bitcoin wallet? I mean if your trying to screw someone over why not go for the most valuable crypto currency we have?

[Eli0t]

because the btc wallet market is pretty much covered

had my own reservations when using this site back in may https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=176637.msg2089600#msg2089600

Based on what I read when I started researching this, the site started getting Error 500's (meaning the daemon for the host was down) on the 26th. The site then came back up after that.

It is possible that the site went through another issue on the 27th in relation to the domain or something, though it's really hard to tell. I still think a lot of people are jumping the gun here and making assumptions with no real reasoning behind it. As I said, it has always taken 3-4 days for him to get back to me, even weeks ago. So waiting 3 days now is still just in the realm of normal business.

Now, if this does turn out to have been a scam, I am more than willing to join in on any court cases and such to get back what's ours. I can submit my own testimony as well as anything else that's needed to seek justice.

But at this point I have not seen enough proof that it's a scam, so I am reserving my judgement for later.

One thing I don't get, is if it's truly a scam, why not keep the website open to more deposits? (From people who may not have seen this thread yet, or noticed the withdrawal issues).

I believe he may of anticipated a lot of people withdrawing their ltc's when ltc hit gox this month.

So then just disable withdrawals? If it's truly a scam, why not keep the website up and keep showing deposit addresses?

I haven't even looked at the site, was never a customer, so it's all guesswork for me.

This has nothing to do with a 500 error. Here's all the links you need to know to prove the guy took it down and never intended for it to be a long-term website:

http://who.is/dns/ltc-wallet.com (note: no "A" records, and GoDaddy says the host was updated on the day this drama started unfolding - the site was pulled from DNS. Side note: jomax.net is part of GoDaddy, as "Jomax Technologies" was the original name of GoDaddy - but it's strange they'd still be using it).
https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,2266.msg34458.html#msg34458 (using anonymous proxies and a disposable email address to sign-up and post with, which, I maintain, there is no legitimate reason for doing)

Done deal. The guy pulled the site and hopes nobody will find him.

Thanks for your efforts mate. Some poor bastard lost over 4000 litecoins, this puts things in perspective for some of us I guess. I have never been fucked like this before. The only thing that gives me solice is this guy will either get caught with this scam or the next or he gets some really bad karma that comes back to bite him .

I'm thinking something like being abducted by a dozen Brock Lesnars that use him for some kind of sex slave for the rest of his life.

At the end of the day as painful as this is I have my health a job a great girl and enjoy my life

how can you still have hope in that infamous guy??
please stop with these useless discussions the only discussions that can have reason to exist now are those involved to catch him, if even possible, and make spit him every single litecoin he stolen from us

This appears to be a repeat of mybitcoin.com + pirate's bitcoin savings & trust.

People who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I don't mean to be offensive, but rather blunt.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Feathercoin etc. are meant to give YOU, yes YOU (the user) the power of storing your wealth/money which only you can access when you need to exchange etc.

The thought process of "I'll just store my coins on X-site" needs to be changed to "I'll only store Y% of my total coins on a site when doing A, B, C".

The analogy is simple, if you don't have possession of your coins (meaning the only one to have access to the password(s) to encrypted wallets or your private key), you don't own it.

Just like gold and silver. If you store it in a bank or in a third-party vault, you are taking a risk of the operator of the bank/vault taking your wealth.

Please be safe people, be smart, and please learn from others mistakes in the past. This mistake has already been done many times in the bitcoin community with ACTUAL bitcoins in the worth of tens of thousands of dollars to many millions.

Holy hell...I'm fuming and at the same time disappointed..I put over 300 LTC back a couple months ago before this "interest" was even a feature (I wasn't even aware that this started until today)..I simply try to find a safe, online place to store my LTC and wait for it to increase in value..I see it going up, I go to check, and suddenly the guy who made it is a scammer. I have no idea if he planned this from the get-go, damn I'm pissed the hell off. I wish there was some way to hold people like this accountable.. -___-

Okay, called GoDaddy. Apparently the domain was updated just today, and while the situation is "unusual", it's not likely canceled or pulled - just in some weird state of limbo by the developer. I suspect, given the server errors shown recently and the recent posts here on litecoin.net forums, it's no "SCAMMER STOLE MAH MONEYS" situation, just a bumpy server transition.

*crosses fingers*

Falcon, did you ask for toork's name or any info they might have had (billing address, etc.)?

They won't give that information out without a subpoena from law enforcement.

That's what I figured.  I've already contacted a lawyer and will keep everybody here informed.  Thanks for making first contact!

Definitely keep me in the loop, please. If this turns out to be a scam I will definitely be behind you 100% in getting justice. If the police are involved they can also subpoena the payment information which can be used to follow more trails.
