Hi there CanaryInTheMine,
That operator is not known to Bitcoin Police as a scammer.
If it is of any assistance, the domain has been registered for at least a year to :
Registrant:
MemePod
3110 13th Street NW
Washington, DC 20010-2408
US
Registrar: DOTSTER
Domain Name: BITCOINBONUS.COM
Created on: 15-DEC-10
Expires on: 16-DEC-11
Last Updated on: 16-DEC-10
Administrative, Technical Contact:
Duane, Darrell
MemePod
3110 13th Street NW
Washington, DC 20010-2408
US
202 667 8728
202 667 5392
Note that the domain registration expires in December of this year, in my experience it is remiss of a diligent site operator to let domains near less than 6 months from registration expiry to ensure consumer confidence.
This is of course no smoking gun and i recommend you contact the above registrant and attempt further communications with the operator through your existing means. If no response is obtained in a reasonabke time, please feel free to contact the Bitcoin Police in our freenode irc channel #bitcoin-police or via email at
reports@bitcoinpolice.org. our website
http://bitcoin.crimeunit.com has information on known scammers and scams as well as other info you may find useful.
Cheers
