WARNING * http://bitcoin-bbc.com/ Scam? Offering Bitcoin Cash Cheap!

in #bitcoincash7 years ago

Greetings Crypto Friends,

I first saw the http://bitcoin-bbc.com/ site mentioned in a Reddit comment by an excited investor, and while I am a noob to the crypto space, this site looks super fishy.
Firstly, Bitcoin Cash goes by the BCC ticker (although that in itself is an issue as discussed here: https://themerkle.com/bitcoin-cash-cant-use-the-bcc-ticker-as-it-belongs-to-bitconnectcoin/), not the BBC ticker.
Secondly, there are random grammar errors in the home page description, though since there are many non-native English speakers in the space, that could be explained.
Thirdly, there is no reference to the official Bitcoin Cash site, https://www.bitcoincash.org/
Fourthly, why would they offer Bitcoin Cash so cheap, less than $15/coin when it is already trading at $300-400?

I sent an email to the address listed and will update this post when I get a reply. In the meantime I would love to hear if anyone has any experience using the site or sees anything I am missing. So much to research as Aug 1 approaches that I admit I am skimming through a lot of stuff and might have missed something.

Haha, though I must admit after re-reading my post here, I am 99.99% convinced it is a scam site. I recommend warning others unless someone can comment proving otherwise.

Onward and upward!
