Edit: But also at a glance, you can clearly see how 1xbit.com is diffferent to 1xbit1.com right I hope? I'ts a clear scam link...
I think it's a mirror link of 1xbit.com
I have seen it several times before. Maybe the person trying to impersonate ran out of usernames to use as 1xbit have so many user profiles here that have been tagged before.
1xbit_official said the address is correct in this quoted post.
Again changed and cant login. Im trying to login in the link 1xbit1.com . Is this link correct?
(1xbit.com) In this one i cant even enter in the web as it says "Error the web cant be displayed)
The address is correct, i've asked my colleague from security to double-check if everything is alright.

are restrictions placed on your account.
Thanks for pointing that out, have corrected my post. This being a legitimate mirror link could well make the situation worse in regards to the
trust flag, especially for newbies who have already been scammed by 1xbit.
As an example:User get's scammed by 1xbit.com (website) and posts on bitcointalk -> 1xbit1.com (user) offers support/refund ->
User "verifies" it's 1xbit from trust flag reference -> Get's scammed again by 1xbit impersonator.
There are good reasons why flags containing incorrect reference is clear abuse of the trust system. Worst case it can actually give cover for scammers to scam even more it turns out!
If someone knowingly supports a flag containing incorrect fact-statements, then that is crystal-clear abuse, and I will seek to have such people removed from DT ASAP. People who are habitually wrong, even not knowingly, should also be removed.
In summary.
Two days after being removed from DT2 (for now*) for
inaccurate use of trust flags, the response to this has been to create another flag without correct reference, as opposed to respond to any criticism or make corrections. I'm starting to think this user is simply trying to troll the trust flag system, test it's limits perhaps, get other DT members removed, rather than having any genuine interest in preventing scammers... Fortunately no DT members have fallen for this latest attempt so far (easy mistake to make I think), but even so, remains concerning.
*Solosanz will likely be "part-time" DT2 in the future, this is what makes it troubling still...
