Thought you said you called them and cts and the same person answered. Man this really does suck, sorry. Don't let greed trick you into hasty decisions.

you didnt THINK it, you READ it, just like the rest of us did!!

he's a liar!!

he 'may' not be involved directly in this scam, but that doesnt change the fact that he lies & lies & lies, and even goes back and changes shit he lied about to appear more honest or less dishonest.

DO NOT TRUST!!!

and especially do not trust the 'lets open a security firm' bullshit, that is misdirection aka smoke & mirrors!!

LIARS will ALWAYS go above & beyond what is required to 'prove' their honesty!

DO NOT TRUST!!

Also, brother 1 posted yesterday an email he sent to the hosting company to shut down the site...and the site according to the postings was shut down less than an hour after that. So now the story is that they stayed up all night to get the site down??? Also brother 1 posted yesterday that was going to beach, after being up all night?
Very interesting stuff going on here.

I am eating crow right now. My brother uncovered some information that says this is most certainly a SCAM. I verified his findings and have sent a note to hosting company that is hosting ctsminer.com

I went here: https://support.namecheap.com/index.php?/default/Tickets/Submit
I chose "Domains -- Legal and Abuse" and submitted this data to them:
_______________________________________________________________________________ _________

SCAM WEBSITE you are hosting.

Domain: ctsminer.com
IP: 199.188.201.252

http://domains-by-day.com/2014-01-24/ctsminer.com-domain-name-data.html
shows that ctsminer.com was originally associated with IP 185.8.106.66 (on another network)

THIS IS A KNOWN SCAMMER IP:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/ip-address/185.8.106.66/information/

Many previous attempts at fraud from domains on that same IP have been perpetrated most notably "butterflyiab.com". It is famous. it was a copy of the legit site, butterflylabs.com. They tricked a lot of people out of their bitcoin. This company is currently taking bitcoin payments and swindling people out of their hard earned currency. Others on our forum also tracked the bitcoin payments on the block chain and this company is using their fraudulently obtained bitcoin to purchase mining hardware. This is a CLEAR SCAM. You are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to take it down IMMEDIATELY. BE ADVISED THAT YOU CAN BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED FROM THAT WEBSITE FROM THIS MOMENT ON. You have been informed.

Everybody else on this forum needs to send something similar informing them of the scam. Unfortunately, they don'y provide a telephone number. I am totally distraught right now, because of the lost BTC. Going to go cry myself to sleep now. Good night all....

BTW, someone should probably contact FBI or something and let them know too. I'm to tired to deal with this right now. I need sleep.
