Well, that was 100% a phishing website. The real BestMixer got shutdown by the europol.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do.

Edit:

Surely a scam from someone trying to recycle Bestmixer domain name reputation. They do it with every popular mixer down.

1 second earlier. lol

Is this a new record?

[LeGaulois]

There was a popular site called Bestmixer.io. The mixer you used is surely a scam from someone trying to recycle Bestmixer domain name reputation. They do it with every popular mixer down.  

Here is a list I try to maintain regularly https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827109.0
If it can help you for the next time...

Edit
@Tryninja: Yeah lol

Thanks guys. I reported the domain to registrar & google. Anything else I can do?

This was first result on google for "BTC Tumbling" which led me to think it was a reputable site. Must have been some SEO Hack or they were running PPC. either way I have accepted the loss

Transaction #2 showed up. Not my ouput address

A legit mixer wouldn't send it back to your address either, that's the whole point of mixing, isn't it?

I mean I don't have a reason to doubt that this is a scam, it's just an observation.

~0.5 BTC in that address so that's probably how much they scammed so far.

My output address isn't that one. It should send there right ?

He's saying that he tried to mix to his address X but the fake mixer sent the coins to a random address, which is most likely owned by the scammer or some exchange, and not the one they were supposed to send to (X).

Edit:

OP sent coins to 1HSEsVdmcEgFHmQ9EixiWek6KoYiRaRkDK. OP wouldn't be getting the coins to their address X from 1HSEsVdmcEgFHmQ9EixiWek6KoYiRaRkDK even if it was a legit mixer. The coins would be coming from some pre-mixed pool or something. Right? Or am I having a major brain fart?

Ahh, you are right. I just ignored that for some reason.
I'm the one having the major brain fart.

It should, but not the same coins that you just deposited. Some other - presumably "mixed" - coins from somewhere else.

Nonetheless the destination wallet is EMPTY!! Scam confirmed. Thanks for replies and hopefully this saves someone.

Hahaha @TryNinja, They didn't leave out your review comment from the old mixer thread either 
Apparently you "love" them... Lol, these scammers are something.




Another SCAM MIXER is https://bestmìxer.com and it's also online

I am going to include them in the ever growing list of scam bitcoin mixers/tumblers: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5163858
Thanks OP

They put Huge amound on Google Ads.
Be Aware
each day over +10 Transaction made to their address's.

I didn't find them as a result of a search on the top, but bestmixer.mx is relatively high on the list, and it is also a proven scam. Amazing that the whole thing is still working, and that no one has managed to knock them down - @LeGaulois posted about them back in 2020. We can try again to report to Google phishing, but the geniuses who work there have not yet understood what a mixer is, and what the difference is between legitimate and fake.

Because he was referring to Bestmixer.mx and didn't notice the topic was about bestmixer.biz

Bestmixer.biz is gone for good
It changed its activity and was no longer a Bitcoin mixer but another business but it's now near 1 year there is nothing uploaded on the server (403 Forbidden)
