Cloud farm-mining.com website is a scam!

[ppenchev]

What happened::
Hi fellows,

I was quite stupid and put some money in this https://farm-mining.com/ website.

As you can imagine they let me to withdraw 2 times tiny amounts and after that requested maintanance fee, which I couldn't find anywhere as a requirement.

After that maintance fee they told me for the machine I've bought(price 0.05BTC) I should wait 2 months, before I'm able to make withdraws.

I'm 99% certain this website is a scam  Sad, but I couldn't find it reported anywhere!? I spotted that the money I put in my BTC account created via their website got withdrawn 10 minutes after and redirected to another account. Here is the main bitcoin wallet where the money goes - https://bitref.com/355jBnNchwMVghRACJvciQ7ATK6XjeC66b

Hate to say it but consider that 3k as gone. Ouch!
I'm sure that there is a special level of Hell for folks running those scams 

[ppenchev]

So you are saying all those scams never got punished and I can make such a website and lie some people without being bothered by anyone?

Welcome to crypto.

Having looked at the website in question, it really puzzles me why anyone should think for one millisecond that they were legitimate.

Only if you go through all the trouble of filing reports after reports and wait for years, and each day of your wait pray to all the known gods to punish the thief.

Yup, the trick is pretty simple
- pay for a domain/hosting/advert with crypto, wait ..get some crypto.. disappear. Most people risk a tiny amount and nobody is going through all the hassle for 50-100$.

In your case since the sum is quite serious you can try but...

Anyhow.
It took me 1 minute to do the following

1) Go to the contact page
2) Grab the WhatsApp number +447480731427
3) Search with Google
4) Found fullinvestment.net and invest-btcmining.com

You can guess what happens when you search for those domains, ..scam scam scam scam stats to pop in every result

Sorry but your money is gone mate. This is pure scam.
The domain is just a month old and was updated just six days ago. i really wonder how you ended up using/trusting them let alone finding them on the web.
Every other important detail about the domain is masked off. Typical scammer tactic to avoid getting traced.

I did a search on their so called company number and guess what?



We have another company registered under the same number. Bitcoinbase, It was just registered in march, probably scam too.

I really don't know what happened that two nights with me. I was obviously too greedy and absolutely stupid...

This will be a ring on my ear for long long time for sure.

No worries mate, just take it as an expensive lesson.
There are so many scams out there some of which have not even been exposed yet. If you are not sure of something or some company. You can always ask members here, we will be glad to guide and help you to avoid such heart breaks.

This is a big mistake as it involves a big amount of money, I hope people will be more aware that most if not all cloud mining are scams.

They should see some warning for them to consider to stay away from it.

To OP, I suggest you go shop cheap altcoins in the market now that rank with top 100 and invest on it so you'll not be scam anymore.

Being in the top 100 is not a guarantee thou  
If i remember very well Bitconnect was even in the top 20 and yet it turned out to be a big scam.
Coins with lots of red flags like BitcoinSv should be avoided at all costs because you never know what could happen tomorrow.

I think OP should take time and research about a given project before buying it's coins or he could chose to just do BTC.

Bitcoin is still very profitable with it's volatility. Buy low, sell high... repeat.

Also from what i have seen, most of this cloud mining always turn out to be scam... like 98% of them

[Rassouf]

Hi everybody
I am scammed by this site too, expensive 500$ lesson as you mentioned, dont bother if you scammed and use as a experience
I will note many social media to help not happens this problem any one else

Sorry to hear, man. You should know that not all scams are reported, especially those who are recently launched.

Next time you come across one of these, all you need to do is look at what they are promising in terms of returns.

Take a look at their 'mining packages'. It is apparent that this is just some template that they copied over from other HYIP sites, and they are no different in principle. They are a HYIP site that is running with the guise of a cloud mining company, which is extremely common. Think about how they are able to guarantee these daily payments - and why these payments won't ever change despite changes in network difficulty?

The maintenance fees are completely BS. In legitimate cloud mining services, what they'll do is take a cut of the profits you make, but never will they ask you to make more deposits after your initial one. All they are doing here is milking your investments until you realize it's a scam.

hello also falls on the same site and lost $ 4000.00
