That's scary. Thanks for the response, I'm just using a small amount so I think I will take the plunge this time.
Shall I summarize?
RodeoX: it's a scam.
thelsdj: they are going to steal your money.
Deep Purple Ghost: that's ok. It's only a small amount.
It just occurred to me that the best way to launder bitcoins is to give them to some unknown person on TOR. That way they can't be traced to you. The downside is that you no longer have the bitcoins.
Purple, this has happened before. A year or so ago someone started a TOR wallet service and then just kept the money that people deposited. The amazing part was that people continued to deposit (and lose) money even after it was known to be a scam.
