New scam even have their own forum: [redacted]
I got scam by one that Clone ChipMixer and it was in the article on DeepDotweb it was over halfway down the article said to click on the onion site to go to ChipMixer
so deepwebtalk, deepdotweb... can't we force them to take down the articles?
or are they the one who responsible created the scam clone websites? and intentionally created fake news articles
I would not be surprised if they were. Imagine how easy it would be to just set up a site (I have never heard of those sites in my life) and post articles linking to your own clone web pages in order to make effortless money. It is easy to do and there is little to risk, especially on the Tor network. The best chance you have at knowing you are at the real website is the security certificate (and make sure you connect through HTTPS) as well as using only the official links provided through an official means of communication (i.e. this thread). You cannot even trust Google on this, as when you look up ChipMixer on their search engine, one of the sponsored results is a scam website that is not owned or related to the official ChipMixer website. It is simply another clone page.
EDIT: To clarify and as ChipMixer said, just connecting through HTTPS is not enough to know it is the real site. What I meant was that ChipMixer's official site makes you connect through HTTPS, so if you don't then you're looking at the wrong site. You must also make sure to use the official URLs, of course.
