{Warning}: Fake Bitcoin Transaction accelerator

[Baofeng]

I saw one newbie in the Bitcoin Discussion board complaining about the fees. And it looks like the difficulty has dropped significantly, Yesterday, in three separate cases blocks were mined after more than 1 hour of delay.. So this got me thinking, that maybe scammers are going to exploit this one and put up a website to somewhat accelerate the transactions. We all know that during the height in 2017, many services has been offered here, but I high doubt that it is effective, unless you have direct connections to mining services. Anyways, here are some scam websites as far as bitcoin transaction accelerator is concern.

Code:

 Phishing site: http://bitcoin-transaction-accelerator.com/accelerator/

The sample transaction id I put is from the scammers themselves, just look at the bitcoin address,

Transactions 921
Total Received 17.63153023 BTC
Total Sent 17.62703662 BTC
Final Balance 0.00449361 BTC

Lots of people have been falling for this trick, asking for 0.001 BTC. I highly doubt that they really did help you out accelerating your transactions here. Same bitcoin address being used.

Second one, they step it up, using viabtc

Code:

Bitcoin Address:

Another one:

Just a gentle nudge to every one here, don't trust this kind of so called accelerator. You can used https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h to check you clogged the network and see what is the best fee, depending on your needs.

From the phishing link that you have given it is obvious that it is an unsafe link. I was found out from who.is that the site was registered from Godaddy website.

Another trap for lazy people who are using this kind of service. They have collected a huge number of Bitcoin so it means probably thousands of lazy people become victims of this. So far I didn't try to use the Bitcoin transaction accelerator and maybe this kind of crime will stop if all Bitcoin transactions will use Lightning Network for the fast transaction.

Thank you for sharing OP. Report this always to google safe browsing.
