RE: Scam Alert: Is This The Most Well Put Together Bitcoin Scam Site Yet or The First Legitimate ICO/Trading/Passive Earning Site?

in #steemit7 years ago

For some reason a lot of these sites are registered companies in the UK, maybe its cheaper to register a company there. Also if you look up the whois informatiion, almost all of these type of 'investment companies' hide the owner details. or they really are not even in x country as they claim. Do a LOT of research before investing in anything with your bitcoin. Also legally you probably have no standing if they run away with your bitcoin as it's not a currency or legal tender in most places. Be very careful.
Great post @crypto2dy thank you for sharing .

Thank you, and yes I know that about their hosting. They all use two types of protection; who.isgaurd and cloudfare. Someone I know got a subpoena sent to cloudfare to get them to turn over the actual hosting information... this story is about to get really interesting lol.
And you are right again, it seems as if a lot of people in the U.K. Are not only registering the sites there, but are some of the main people pushing them.
Go join or look into any "Victim for..." or "Justice for..." group involving one of those scams and see what is going on... it is sick.
