Report
A California victim recounts an email phishing scam related to a crypto asset website they used. The victim received an email from Google Sheets stating it had been almost a year since they had last been active on the 'Bitcoin Mining' website and therefore, they were closing the victim's account. The victim clicked on a link in the email, which took them to the Bitcoin Mining website where they were asked for personal information, an account number to transfer the crypto assets to, and a $64 fee. The victim complied, and paid the fee, then got an error message. The original link in the email was also no longer active. The victim has not been able to recover the $64 and feels vulnerable after disclosing personal information to a scam.
If you suspect you're a victim
We are actively collecting victim statements, blockchain traces, and exchange on-ramp data tied to Bitcoin Mining. If you interacted with this brand, please gather:
- Screenshots or PDFs of chat logs, trading dashboards, and payment confirmations.
- Transaction hashes for any crypto transfers.
- Bank or payment processor details for wire/ACH/credit-card deposits.
