The Auction:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=741837.new#new

The Evidence:
https://m.facebook.com/notes/ptc-investigations/graybux-shotbux-mazbux-neatbux-bitcoinbuxnet-all-scam-sites-from-the-same-owner/645142048868626/?p=10

Claims over 87,000 users but when I made an account the site seem inactive, no ads to click, unsustainable cpc rates €0.1 per click.

Also there are several other sites of his that look exactly the same but with different names, he is also linked to other scam sites.

I'm not great with details and investigations but I'm sure some of you may be interested in looking into this a bit further than I have been able to!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Some information I got from the Who Is:

Registry Registrant ID: P-CLR902
Registrant Name: Cristiano Refi
Registrant Organization:
Registrant Street: Via dei Gemelli 116 0
Registrant City: Pinerolo
Registrant State/Province: TO
Registrant Postal Code: 10064
Registrant Country: IT
Registrant Phone: +39.327593752
Registrant Phone Ext:
Registrant Fax:
Registrant Fax Ext:
Registrant Email: bitfirestorm@gmail.com
Registry Admin ID: P-CER960
Admin Name: Cristiano Refi
Admin Organization:
Admin Street: Via dei Gemelli 116 0
Admin City: Pinerolo
Admin State/Province: TO
Admin Postal Code: 10064
Admin Country: IT

Registrant is in Pinerolo, Turin, Italy. I can't locate where the address is, as I don't really understand how the address system there works.

Admin's name is supposedly Cristiano Refi. It matches the Who Is records of the other scam sites.

I was reading that is true scam website. Owners have 4 or 5 other similar websites and these are all too.

I was registered in bitcoinbux.net and pass it because there are unreachable terms for withdrawal.


Also need to fix a topic. This is .net not .com
