Whale mixer scam

[SinisterB]

I have sent to whalemixer: https://whalemixer.com - 1BTC. Was supposed to receive in maximum 6 hours the mixed coins back! never received any and he does not answer ticket's and messages
If I don't hear anything by the end of the day I will report this to authorities
Please avoid! It looks like a scam since it's been 48 hours and I am not the only one complaining!

I have sent to whalemixer: https://whalemixer.com - 1BTC.

This looks like the exit scam they were waiting for.

When they paid around $2000, they claimed it caused a negative cash flow:

That would really help as we have to pay our workers and the error has caused a negative cash flow , we are legitimate mixer and we dont scam to get profits, we only make 1-3% and this error has set us back deeply.

For a site that claims to have $42 million in fresh coins, this shouldn't be a problem, right?

(they've deleted their post)

Their site and posts give the impression they're "small" scammers waiting for a victim large enough to pull an exit scam. I'm afraid you won't see your ~$40,000 back.

Can you create a Newbie Flag (the first check box) against them? I will support such a Flag, and it will act as an additional warning for new users. Unfortunately, that's all we can do.

See: this post for further reading on what's wrong with the site.

Done, it is a big amount, good thing that I did not sent more.. and said that I will wait and see if they are legit before doing all the coins.

My mistake was to try and mix before doing any research. I thought they are legit because I saw the link on a post here on forum marked as trusted.

I am supporting the red Flag in this case, and I gave them negative feedback before.
It looks like WhaleMixer was preparing exit scam for some time and several people warned about them in their ANN topic, mocacinno even made few big reviews and someone from bitcointalk even tested their mixing system (I can't remember who it was exactly).
It's now more than seven days since they last showed up online in forum!

Flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2800 Supported.

2800 Active. (Support | Oppose) SinisterB flagged whalemixer1 (type 1, see why). Supported by LoyceV, khaled0111, dkbit98, SinisterB. Opposed by nobody.

...

Honestly, I was reluctant to support the flag because there is no proof that op did send the coins to one of whalemixer's addresses.
But after reading this line:"I believe that anyone dealing with whalemixer1 is at a high risk of losing money, and guests would be well-advised to avoid doing so" and my conviction that any mixer that doesn't provide a LoG can't be trusted, I decided to support it.
The flag is now active and hopefully there won't be more victims.

Sorry OP. I don't know how much you sent to them, doubt if they while come back here to refund your Bitcoins. Their exit scam is sort of similar to the smartmixer.io scam

You could try to report their domain to the domain registrar so that their site is put down - Domain registrar URL (WWW.ENOM.COM)
Report abuse - https://cp.enom.com//help/abusepolicy.aspx

The domain registrar is a good first step... The police is a good second step. Their host is a good thirth step:
https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=arin%3a185.141.25.142&run=toolpage

Apparently, the ip block is owned by hostsailor.com => abuse@hostsailor.com

Hopefully either enom will redirect to a landing page, hostsailor will shut down their service or law enforcement will act against them... But that's about all you can do i'm afraid.

Good luck!

Any follow-up on this? You may want to include this:

Update: I just realized they haven't been online since the second they made this post.

Absolute scum, these type of threads make me sad. I am genuinely sorry for the loss OP.

Any refund / contact from Whalemixer?

Any refund / contact from Whalemixer?

I know from the other thread you're looking for some way to mix your bcash, but believe me... This one isn't... Really...
This dude (whalemixer's operator) has not been online since the 18th, so he couldn't have solved any issues.

The previous issues he solved were solved by "pure luck". He just found some funds that magically appeared in his wallet and that could not be matched up by his internal (flawed) accounting mechanism (that protects him, and not his customers), and the "magically appearing" amount correlated to the ammount "lost" by somebody that used his mixer but had no way of proving this. This, combined with community pressure, convinced him to give the funds that "magically" appeared in his wallet to the victim of his site.
It wasn't honesty, it wasn't proper procedures, it wasn't any kind of proof... It was just good luck, community pressure and "magic" that solved previous accusations... And i don't see a positive future for this accusation TBH...

• He lies about the source of his funds, they might not even be clean, but they're certainly not coinbase rewards
• He lies about the fees
• He lies about the automation
• He lies about the amount of funds he has availabe
• He lies about his letter of guarantee (he does not provide you with one)
• He lies about the speed of his contact methods
• He has active scam reports

Really, this one you should stay away from, atleast untill he cleans up his act.

I know you might be desperate to mix your Bcash, but really, you basically have the choice between holding on to your unmixed bcash untill you find a legit mixer, or sending it to this one and having a REALLY big chance of getting scammed and having no Bcash at all after the process.

Thanks for explaining this in detail!! I appreciate it. I have to hold / rethink my situation.  

EDIT: I contacted the support site and have not received any response to my query.

Unless if you already sent some coins to them and were looking forward to getting your issue resolved, why waste your time contacting them?
They are proven scammers and from what it looks, they are not going to come back here after getting exposed
