Second Update! // (STAY AWAY FROM bitcoinblackfriday.INFO)

SECOND UPDATE:

THIS IS A SCAM! DONT USE THIS WEBSITE!

i banned the account.
all people that registered their emailaddresses will probably recieve phishing attacks in the future!

I warned about MTGox, Paycoin, Yesminers (german section) and this one too. It is good to be more careful. Bitcoin is still wild west and as you can see, there are some evil scammers out there.




-----------------------


UPDATED. Check last post.



-----------------------------


So now i waited several days and this website never responded to any of my mails.

bitcoinblackfriday.INFO (INFO) seems to be a scam!

also checkout:

https://de.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comment ... k_out_the/

STAY AWAY FROM THAT SERVICE!
DONT SENT ANY BITCOIN TO THESE GUYS!
DONT SHARE YOUR EMAILADDRESS (you will probably recieve phishing mails).



The original and legit website is
bitcoinblackfriday.com (.com)

----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------




What does "verify your wallet and make sure you have enough bitcoin" mean?

If it means i should sent the bitcoin to your (unknown) service first i will do my best to warn enough people...just asking...


the original authors of this idea are by the way:
http://bitcoinblackfriday.com/ (.COM !!!)

Hopefully they are just checking the balance at an address? They are indeed on this forum the guy posted a few days ago about the website. Hopefully they will get back to this soon as it would be a very bad situation if they were setting up some kind of scam.

Copy from bitcointalk:

hey,

I manage BitcoinBlackFriday.info and I think you misunderstood our statement "Verify your wallet". We meant to say that people who plan to use bitcoin on bitcoin black friday should check if they have the amount they want to spend in bitcoins. We won't be asking anyone to send us any bitcoins except for featured ads and donations.

We do not pretend to be the .com website run by Jon, we have a completely different service so please stop saying that we are copying his work.

You are saying that we haven't responded to your emails but I see no emails from you. Please send your questions again.

Sorry but I didn't have the time to check all the threads I have posted the announcement to so please email us for any questions or complaints: contact@bitcoinblackfriday.info

thanks for your reply.

i mentioned that on reddit and bitcoin.com and i recieved no answer. there are alot of fraudsters in the bitcoin sphere (Mark K, Josh Garza just to name a few).

your website is new and that statement is pretty misleading. maybe you should change that.

it is better to be careful than to do nothing. i hope you understand.

anyway, thanks for the clarification and i hope your website gives us some great discounts!

Yeah, the scam was revealed mid-day yesterday! Several deals went online that were featured such as a Gyft scam and a BitMain Tech scam, and a couple others. It's too bad that there are still these bad actors and scammers in bitcoin.

It's a shame but there always will be, just as there are plenty of people who scam for fiat currency. Bitcoin is just more suitable for scamming with right now, but even if it becomes mainstream, scams will still happen.

Yes of course, it's not Bitcoin, sadly it's people.
