[Warning] Hashfactory.io is another fake cloud mining service!!!

[SFR10]

What happened:
All of us know that almost all of these so-called cloud mining services are fake and after I felt they were overexplaining themselves, I spent a few minutes looking around for red flags and here are my findings:

• In their announcement thread, they mentioned launching their services three years ago, but their "Whois data" points to last week ^{[I also couldn't find any traces of them (from back then) under a different domain extension]}.
  
  
• They're using a phone number ^[screenshot] belonging to a "clinic that treats a variety of gynecologic conditions ^{[refer to the footer area]}"!
  
  
• They're offering an additional 25% hashrate ^{[out of thin air]} if you purchase mining rigs: Screenshot of their plans

They even had to use AI to do the convincing. Lazy scammers 

The home page alone signals the classic scam kind of websites. They claim they have a history, but you won't be able to see any additional evidence backing up their claims. No legitimate physical address or even pictures.

Flag supported OP! Deym cloud mining still exist at this era and these scammers wont stop until they drained every new users out there. Btw the language choice for their site is originally german and has a default of english translation. Does it mean these scammers are from Germany? Or the scammers usually tend to do misdirection to make others believe they are from that country?

It’s been a long time since I came across a cloud-mining site like this, until the OP pointed it out here. Good thing he caught it early, before the topic got much attention or someone else fell for it. I tagged the scammer’s account and supported the flag. I also reported the topic where they promoted this scam service and I’ll report this domain which is only 9 days old to have it taken down.

As for what you asked, they may have used a template template with German as the default language or maybe they just chose German to hide where they’re really from. There’s no proof they’re from Germany. The WHOIS info also says "Redacted for Privacy," so we can’t see where they’re from.

Yeah Im betting theyre not really from Germany but uses that as their front so if ever they got caught they will misdirect their attention to them and find guys from germany for potential suspect since it cant be proven out there how can authority be smart to catch these people? What happened is we can stop them via reporting them but they can just simply do another and new one.

I think it's time for all AI-assisted services to set limits on their use before they cause irreparable harm to various industries.
^{- A court order might do the trick.}

It's hard to guess, but maybe they're trying to pretend to belong to a small portion of Icelanders who speak German.

I’ll report this domain which is only 9 days old to have it taken down.

Thank you for reporting them ^{[the more, the better]}... I did the same, but seeing that we're dealing with Namecheap here, their incompetent staff makes me lose my confidence.
^{- BTW, thank you also to those who supported the flag and tagged the scammer in question}
