If bitcoinfog is selective scamming, should agora be trusted?

I have been selective scammed by bitcoinfog and reading through a lot of reviews it looks like a LOT of users now same thing is going on. What happens is they change your pass right after sending bitcoin then say you got phished. I am 100% sure I didn't get phished because I used the same fucking bookmark as when I sent the bitcoin and it is the EXACT same link as listed here!

Agora and bitcoinfog are same people so should we trust them not doing the same scamming?

Almost all of the commenters in this thread, including OP, are throwaway accounts.

Definitely something fishy going on @ agora

I lost 4.25 BTC to the btcfog scam. I will never use either site again.

I always wondered why agora refused to use multisig. Guess now we know.


[4 Points] MrHhhiiiooo:

I don't understand why they would intentionally do this knowing everyone knows the two are related.

What sketches me out with agora is like others have been saying. Always slow site and now its fast. I'm scared now the feds stopped ddosing cause theyve located agora servers and the shitstorm is coming soon.

Do you guys have HTTPS Everywhere (a browser extension) installed? Do you access bitcoinfog through tor?

I have this feeling that rouge exit nodes are being set up specifically to steal these (and probably other) bitcoins. What do you think /u/gwern/ ?

FUCK! if id known bitcoin fog was same as agora I never would use them. Scammed me out of $50. Lowlife fuckers

Now I only use HELIX !!!

I never had problems with fog but if their selective scamming i guess only a few will until they just run with all the coin. Dunno why but agora is sketching me out lately.

Golden Rule - Never send any more than you can afford to lose.

I have been saying the same thing for months about btcfog. Sadly people only start to listen when enough other people have already lost everything.

And to add to this they have zero support. Like literally zero. When I made another account to contact them, I waited 2 weeks to get an auto response "please send ticket from account where you sent money".

Well I cant. Thats the whole point of my ticket assholes! Now they are ignoring all my messages

I lost 4.4 feel for you mate I was devastated nobody should use them and the links should be taken off here also. There is now too many people this has happend to and everyone has had exactly the same problem. Deposit then account gets locked out don't use the fog and don't use agora defintely the next one to fall

It's a valid argument that OP brings up. And the ironic thing is even though it sucks not having escrow you guys know that SR2 isn't going to pull this crap seeing as they have no escrow. Maybe SR2 is actually the best market after all....
