Warning: MixBit is a scam! 8BTC stolen, details inside

With some of the delays and issues involving BitcoinFog recently, I decided to try out MixBit (http://mixbity3bxwsqmnn.onion). I first sent 0.3BTC to test them and they sent the tumbled BTC within 20 hours.

Then I sent 8BTC. 36 hours later I hadn't received anything so I first checked to make sure that there was a tunnel record for the from/to addresses (there was), then I sent an email to their support address listed (mixbit@safe-mail.net) asking what happened. They responded the next day with "Your transaction is still pending. It'll end up into your wallet later today.".

That was a week ago. I've sent emails every day and I can see that they're being read within 30 minutes (since safe-mail shows you when they're read if both the sender and receiver are using safe-mail.net), but they haven't responded again and I still don't have my BTC.

Mods, please remove their link from the sidebar. I can provide proof if necessary. I'm trying to keep my hopes up, but it's not looking good. This fucking sucks.

This is terrible. I am so sorry this happened to you and it is completely fucked that they tricked you with that first successful transaction. I am removing their link from the sidebar now.

EDIT: Since they're reading your emails, I recommend sending them a link to this thread. Maybe the bad PR will make them take action and give you your coins along with a bullshit excuse. Keep us updated.

EDIT #2: If /u/mixbitsucks actually sent this thread to MixBit support and any of them are reading this: over 8k potential customers (we average around 35k pageviews per day) can see this post and come to the conclusion that you are huge scammer douchebags. Make up a bullshit excuse, apologize, and give this guy his coins.

Hey everyone, infinite here, I'm a mod here along with Lucy and the others.

I've read over the shit that /u/mixbitsucks sent the mods and let me say, I completely agree that mix but has scammed this individual.

Now they're trying to accuse him of being a scammer?! This is absolutely sick.

I was always hesitant to try them, now i know. Serious man, sorry to hear what happened and a big thanks to you for informing the community. I would suggest you set up a donation wallet (I would donate) but then the trolls here would accuse you of lying, attempting to get money, so i guess that wouldn't be wise. Best of luck, hope everything works out for you!!!

That's a horrible thing to have happen. I'm so sorry.

Jesus. That sucks, but this is why you don't send thousands of dollars to someone and assume they're trustworthy.

Warning everyone - it's now called BitMix. My story is similar, I did a small transaction which seemed to fail. I reported it. They responded quickly with the coin, even a smidge extra for the trouble. So I sent a larger transaction and it's been radio silence ever since.

Hey. I'm one of the mixbit support members. I would like to clarify few facts here.

MixBit was founded in the late 2013. Our first months were quiet. We had only few customers. Our customer base kept slowly growing all the time. Few weeks ago we had a great increase in traffic comming to our site, thanks to darknetmarkets mentioning us. We had a one minor bug a few weeks ago which delayd couple transactions but those were quickly fixed and btc was sent to users. Other than that we have had no problems at all.

Don't you find it strange that "mixbitsucks" is claming that we are scammers without any proof? Don't you find it strange that he is the first one to say anything bad about us? I mean we have been mixing coins for months.

Anyway here is the email he sent us: http://pastebin.com/sykcz32i And no we didn't steal his or anyones bitcoins. I hope nobody have donated this scammer.

PS. Sorry for english. I'm not a native english speaker.
