Hi,

I have seen many referrals today for this site, usually this is a warning sign to a Ponzi/HYIP. https://www.bitgold.com

After reading some of the posts it appears they want all your personal details to provide you with some "virtual" gold. which they hold for you. until you can collect at a vault, and im wondering how easy that would be...

I have also seen this website design, images before now on a few other sites.

Originally back in 2005, BitGold.com was a HYIP, You can view the wayback machine archive below.

Wayback Machine showing BitGold in 2005: https://web.archive.org/web/20050403034103/http://www.bitgold.com/

Since then, BitGold appeared to be doing very little, until January.

Please people be wary of this.

SCAM ALERT !!!!!
BitGold is completely scam.... I had an account with them and my friend sent $850 to my account to redeem it as he has no bank account to redeem the funds, my balance became $850 and every thing was great..... Then i tried to link my bank account to my BitGold account to redeem these funds, After 1 hour they disabled my account !!!!!!!!!!!! I sent them 4 support message to know what is wrong but NO ANSWER !!!!!!!! After 3 days they sent me this funny mail:
"Your account has been suspended in connection with the distribution of fraudulently obtained funds. The funds have been returned to the original cardholder and your account will remain suspended.
Thank you!
Kind regards,

Melanie

Of course this is the same email which they send to all victims considering that they got their gold using Credit Card but in my case i don't use any Credit Cards, these funds was sent to me as i told you before !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO BE ATTENTION ...... BitGold is completely SCAM

I'm not here to defend bitGold, but for what i've read on their site, you have to link a personal bank account (and personal means that you own that bank account) before you start sending money from a bank account, ad that you can't receive money from other bank accounts that are not in your personal use (intestate to your name), this because some country are not allowed to deal with this service, and receive money from another account not in you own property can cause to them problems, because it could be of a country not allowed for their services.... this is what i've understood reading tos and faqs...
