[Kemarit]

There is another fake Sinbad Mixer https://sinbad.io/ website:



And when you click that link, you will be redirected to:



Fake website:

Code:

https://slnbad.io/
mixersinbad.io

You won't notice it until you have to take a close look at the spelling.

So everyone should be careful about and just check everything before using the mixer. This criminals are cloning every mixer know since the closure of CM.

In 2023 Sinbad is considered best Bitcoin mixer and its obvious that many people will be use it for different purpose and scammer doesn't want to miss this opportunity and they are trying their best to scam people with fake phising mixing site. These sites can be easily traced for experienced but little difficult for newbies. I am checking second sites here for Sinbad.

I will also recommend to post this here so this sites should added to phising sites and all members report it.

Very good find OP!
How did you find about this scam clone website?

I saw scammers replacing letters like this before and I think Sinbad is getting attacked most from all other mixers now.
Best protection is to bookmark original website and use Sinbad onion website.
It's best to report this to Sinbad team in forum.

It'd be better if you didn't crop out the URL part of your browser to clearly show they're a rip-off of "sinbad.io".
^{- The fake one also included the original Onion site of Sinbad in their header area!}

This criminals are cloning every mixer know since the closure of CM.

Exactly and they'll continue to do so unless we manage to take their fake websites down ^{[unfortunately, only a few users tend to spend some time to report, and in a lot of cases, a single report wouldn't be enough]}:

• Registrar Abuse Contact Email: nicenic@139.com
  Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +86.7563366365

Great catch by the way

[Jating]

Great catch, and yes, it's true after the Chipmixer seizure, there are a lot of new and old mixer tumbler that suddenly highlighted and it's obvious criminals will have to do what they're best, cloning mixer sites because it's so easy and it's instant money for them.

I also recommend:

• Bookmark our favorite mixer
• Used this forum, go to the ANN thread and that's where we should search
• Report this sites so that it will be taken down

They would do the same thing in the past with different mixers too, so long as they were popular enough in these spaces if you check out this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5381839

You know that a mixer is popular when scammers start making clones of it left and right

[salad daging]

When there is mixing that is popular, there will be many clone sites created including Sinbad which has now become popular in this forum, and I see that Google appears to provide advertisements for these sites if I do a search there.

Maybe there are more than 2 Sinbad clone sites, so we have to be quite careful in looking at the URL, especially beginners who want to try it and it's better to bookmark the original.

After seeing the thread created by @LeGaulois, it turns out that there are many mixer clone sites that were scattered before.

We must be careful!

[Baofeng]

And looking at the whois domaintools,



https://whois.domaintools.com/slnbad.io

It's very obvious that this is a new site created for the very reason to scam us. I already did my part on reporting this site to,

(https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en). And I do hope that others do will do that same so that it will be taken down immediately.

[virasog]

How did you find about this scam clone website?

It's sad but its reality that if you do a google search for Sindbad mixer, you will find this scam site right in top 3 results.
Yes, scammers are these days very active to impersonate the crypto sites and scam people, but i feel that google is equally responsible for promoting these scam sites.

Check for yourself the results of google search

[albon]

It's very obvious that this is a new site created for the very reason to scam us. I already did my part on reporting this site to,

I, too, reported this scam domain name that the OP mentioned. Thank you all.

The Sindbad mixer and all the popular mixers in the market are facing these fake domains that scammers create daily and specifically to defraud customers and users of these mixers, so everyone who sees any link to a known mixer that has been promoted in Google or anywhere on social media should check the link before using it, make sure that the link is the official Mixer domain link or a fake phishing site, There are thousands of scam mixers domains up to now, so every person must be careful not to lose his money and not to come here and claim that a popular mixer has scammed him.

To be honest I seldom used Mixers in the past, but if you guys are saying that Sinbad is gaining popularity or the popular right now since the demise of Chipmixer, then it's a obvious target for criminals to create clone sites.

And if I'm not mistaken, this is the second time that we've seen a clone site in the wild, so yeah, scammers are busy creating fake and close sites just like what they did during the height of the popularity of Chipmixer. Nevertheless, we should also look for other mixer clones as well as there could be the next target from this criminals.

And thanks to the OP for exposing this one. I also reported it.

I think Sinbad should complain to Google to remove these fake results from search, because it will cause many victims.

I don't know what Google's standards are in such cases but surely fake results should be prevented.

Sinbad has become a popular mixer so they have to be careful and warn their users not to make such mistakes by going to suspicious websites.

[Broadanbig]

Your discovery was a good one but make do  well  to get involved the original sinbad manager here so as to know what to do so as to salvage any error that is to emanate as a result of what those scammers has done already. This will further forestall any future occurrences planned by the scammers.

[UmerIdrees]

To be honest, Google do not have any standards. They only care about their own money and thats all. That's why you can publish a scam site through google ads.

Having a fake website appear in the Google search results may bring a dent to the original website because some of the people who needed to mix the coins at Sindbad will land at a fake website and lose their money. Later they may say bad words about Sindbad without knowing that they were scammed by a fake Sindbad mixer and not by the real team.

[hugeblack]

It seems that Sinbad Mixer has become very popular, I almost counted at least more than 10 Fake sites in the recent period.

I think Sinbad should complain to Google to remove these fake results from search, because it will cause many victims.

Does anyone still trust Google ads, or at least do them? The first thing I would do is close those misleading ads but frankly you should visit the campaign link here instead of using Google.
I read a recent report that people lose millions of dollars from phishing attacks by Google, yet Google seems happy with the profits.

I also recommend:

• Bookmark our favorite mixer

Good advice, but if your device is affected, hacker may modify bookmark data.

Very good find OP!
How did you find about this scam clone website?

Thru Google search, when you type Sinbad mixer, the clone site will be in the page 1 of the search results.

I saw scammers replacing letters like this before and I think Sinbad is getting attacked most from all other mixers now.

I reported it to Sinbad Ann thread already. I think as others have said, Sinbad could be one of those popular mixing services that we have right now. I also reported it to Google, unfortunately it is still showing though.

So I would suggest that if others could also report it as well. I think we can put some pressure on the Big G to take it down right away.

@UmerIdrees - I agree though, this has been the issues with Google, bu if we can do just this small things, who knows, maybe they will act on behalf of crypto community.

[boyptc]

Nice, thanks op.

With the vast competition in the market of mixers these days. There will be the opportunist that will take time to take advantage of the current competition and these are the scammers that will copycat not just sinbad but also other existing mixers today.

Thru Google search, when you type Sinbad mixer, the clone site will be in the page 1 of the search results.

I guess that there will also be the same results of clone websites if other name of existing mixers today that will also be searched.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

@op nice one buddy..

Scammers will never rest, like I always say, one way that's been proven effective in staying safe from being a victim to scam is to always be one or two step ahead of the scammers, they will definitely keep improving on their tactics, strategies and all, but no matter what they do or how they do it, there will always be clues pointing to their evil intentions, those clues is what we should always watch out for.

[ajiz138]

Thank you to the OP for reminding me about other fake sinbad sites, before that I caught a lot of fake sinbad sites and we see a lot of them now.

It seems that Sinbad Mixer has become very popular, I almost counted at least more than 10 Fake sites in the recent period.

It's like that now Sinbad Mixer is gaining popularity since Chipmixer didn't exist, now I have encountered more sites maybe this number will continue to increase considering the popularity of this mixer makes scamers make more clone sites.

I really do not think you could blame google for this act of scammers. Everyone has the freedom to associate and also to make public their services. These scammers only did imitate the original but google can not deny them the right  to advertise their products which in the real sense are scammers. Any one can put up his or her business for publicity online irrespective of the identical nature of it to another but we all know google got a complaint form for scam site and fake, what is expected is to report the fake and scam site to google through the google form,

This is likely the only way that scam site can be taken down. Only if the community takes this drastic measures in reporting them to google and if any one here has a link  to the form should not hesitate to drop it here.
