GHOSTMIXER

DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

"High volume Bitcoin Exchanger" "YOUR TRUST IS OUR PRIORITY" "Virtual currency is part of the here and now, but with it comes the need to “guard your wallet.” GhostMixer’s high volume bitcoin mixer keeps your identity safe by offering premium mixing service with the ability to handle even the largest bitcoin transactions." "Bitcoin mixing, also referred to as Bitcoin tumbling or Bitcoin laundering, is the process of using a service like [GhostMixer] to break the connection between a Bitcoin sending and receiving address."

"Cleans the coins instantly, you can set the time. After the intial transaction you send to GhostMixer has 1 confirmations, the coins will be cleaned and sent back to you with 1 transaction immediately. The process can take up to 48 hours."

"Unlike regular GhostMixer you don’t need to sign up for a account. This means no entry fee, no pgp key verification, and no link to you (even your online identity) at all. One-click random delay and randomized transactions buttons makes for simple, fast, and secure bitcoin cleaning."

"The GhostMixer system is very simple. Give us the address you want the bitcoins sent to. We give you an address to send them to. You have 48 hours to send 1 transaction between 0.01 and 30 bitcoins. GhostMixer takes a 0.1% fee and sends you brand new coins."

"New tools are being built all the time to increase the ability of the public, as well as private corporations and government agencies, to follow coins through the blockchain and track those who use it." "In the near future it may be simple for anyone- including friends, relatives, employers, and law enforcement, to track every Bitcoin transaction you’ve ever made and see exactly where it ended up. Breaking the connection between your addresses and the coins’ destination by mixing them is certainly a precaution that all Bitcoin users should take. You NEED to use a Bitcoin mixer to protect your privacy and safety."

"According to a thread by @LeGaulois, Ghostmixer.cc domain was discovered to have gone offline this year around March, which means they had stopped operating." "Their twitter was also created in March 2018 and was last active on 22 Aug 2018."

"Ghostmixer.cc shut down their website in March 2019 probably due to no profitable business but the website is online again with the design same as that of SCAM Bitwhisk.io 2.0 and intention is definitely malicious. Probably a scammer bought the domain."

A "FAKE YOUTUBE REVIEW CHANNEL" "was purposely created to promote [the] scam. It has only one subscriber and the video was published on the 24th of July 2019." "As of now no one has been scammed yet."

GhostMixer was a bitcoin mixing service launched around March 2018. Users could give bitcoin to receive mixed bitcoin. The service went offline around August 2018. Since that time, a fraudster set up a fake mixing service on the same domain. It does not appear that any funds have been sent to the mixer service.
