Looks shady after seeing their FAQ stating a typo.
How to top up my balance?
You can up your balance on "ADD FOUNDS" window.
Another part that made the site scammy is the chatbox, you'll notice that most of the users have Bitcointalk profiles(mdayonliner,BADecker, etc) to trick new users.
Good thing that you've asked here because this thread can serve as a reference for the others so they won't get scammed in the future.
Edit : That smaq user who gave you the code is the owner of the site. 100%
Actually the only two profiles that i've recognized on the site were the ones you mentioned.
to trick new users.
By picking
2 negatively trusted users?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=149737https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1432468That wouldn't really comfort me to bet all that much if that were to be all/my only reference of said site.
I think there's probably more to it then them two just being randomly picked by the presumed "owner" of the site...?
Edit: Nevermind. I now see a lot more profiles popping up as well. It does look pretty random.
Having
negative trust on my profile does not mean that I scammed anyone or even tried to scam anyone on this forum or anywhere else. Even, I never asked a penny from anyone in this site. If having negative trust on a profile means that someone is a scammer (cheated or stole money or done shady activities in anywhere) then the entire trust system is a misleading system because in my whole life I never committed such action. Hope it make sense. You guys make me regret joining this community and using my real identity.
I can confirm that whoever the owner of that site - they are trying to use my username with the other guy. Before reading this topic I have no idea about this site. In-fact it made me curious why did someone even tried to use my name. Am I that much known face in BitcoinTalk? LOL
By the way, I was encountered a site which had same behavior (I guess) and
here is the topic I created.
I can confirm that this kind of approach means they are scam.
So, if the deposit amount has changed in your case then the person is developing the site for sure (admin) and trying to trick people with different initial amounts to see which one works best. Everything else on the website you are seeing (other users) are just auto bots IMO.
It's not just me someone else also had the same experience.
