What happened: bitcoin-laundry.com will STEAL YOUR LARGE AMOUNT DEPOSIT!!!

I searched for "bitcoin mixer" on Google and found this website.

I created a session and got a deposit address, which is 3Fz3JW1RiNTYuSs8kwLGDZExPK7WgR2CTW, and the session is https://bitcoin-laundry.com/session/fe236e1d5b07f5ac7adf32901a5ee4d39e4b5bfa179775da8678c32b77250603. Here is the screenshot in case the session expires: https://imgur.com/CDLXiif

After I sent coins to the provided address, I refreshed the page, and the deposit address surprisedly changed to another one 359cX3M8L8gb3X1SGPVdQH3EeJvQ5cCiuS, while the page still shows "Waiting for Bitcoin".

This is the transaction of my deposit: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/d1b4919df80249136388b0e17d106c5d51ae7f7075223f5f973e4dc5749d7be0

I contacted the support and got the reply: https://imgur.com/a/veO5SF5

to me

Dear customer,

we checked the addresses with our address pool. The address 359cX3M8L8gb3X1SGPVdQH3EeJvQ5cCiuS, which is shown in the mix session is one of ours, but the address 3Fz3JW1RiNTYuSs8kwLGDZExPK7WgR2CTW is not. Are you sure you got it from our site? Also, are you sure you were on the correct domain? There are fake sites copying bitcoin-laundry who are phishing people visiting these sites.

Best regards
Bitcoin-Laundry supporrt

This is the only reply I've got, they just stopped replying to any further questions afterwards. It's quite irony that they as scammers themselves are accusing other scammers of theft.

Then I tried a small amount deposit, and everything just goes well as in session https://bitcoin-laundry.com/session/be7ef11ea480bb61a4620e816537327bba8a4e6debac06f7d389fc22651db2c4 (screenshot https://imgur.com/ksZlBBW).

And I'm not alone, this user on bitcointalk has encountered the same situation:

I have used this a bunch in the past. Usually 2 or 3 coins per mix. It was reliable. I guess, when a large TX comes through, they rip.

I am a fucking idiot I guess. I have no leg to stand on, you are right.

Support stopped replying.

I just had the same problem. I sent a deposit and address in my session ID has changed.

With all these evidence, it is safe to conclude that this site is SCAM for sure.
They attract users by low fee and work well for small deposit, but once you deposit a large amount of bitcoins, they just keep your coins and manipulate the deposit address to cheat you.
