Where Is The Bull? I Want To See The Bull!
IOTA Miner is a definitely a scam, the same as practically all crypto cloud mining sites. It is a scam enterprise engaged in internet wire fraud.
IOTA Miner exposed itself as a scam in its reply to Trustpilot reviewer Xenon, who was smart enough to look up the IOTA Miner “office address” and realized it was fake and pointed it out in his review. IOTA Miner replied to this negative review and stated that the office address in question was only the legal registered address and not the actual office or customer service location. I created an IOTA Miner account, username Hunter, and got the customer service representative to state on the record that he was working from this address. I caught them in a lie, directly contradicting IOTA Miner’s own statement on Trustpilot, and I have screenshots of the chat to prove it.
All of these fraudulent cloud mining sites publish a random residential home address as their office because an address is all that is required to register a cloud mining company name in the UK. They never show the office or data mining equipment because there isn’t any. The entire operation is a website with a fake office address and an untraceable crypto wallet address in some unknown location where you are scammed into sending your money.
I began my chat by asking about the picture of IOTA headquarters on the website. The picture is fake of course and features a downtown office building with the IOTA Mining logo photoshopped onto the front. They even photoshopped the famous Wall Street bull statue standing in front of the IOTA sign to give the image a little more flair. You can find this photo on the About Us page.
Here is a transcript of my chat and evidence to backup my claim that IOTA Miner is a scam.
IOTA Miner: “Hello! How can I help you today?”
Me: “I really like your company and I’m getting ready to buy my first contract. Can you tell me the address of your impressive office building with the bull statue in front?”
IOTA Miner “Yes”.
Me: “OK, what is the address?”
IOTA Miner “Could you please describe your issue in more detail? This will help us assist you better. Thank you!”
Me: “Yes, the address of your office with the bull statue?”
IOTA Miner: “Yes”
Me: “OK. What is it?”
IOTA Miner: “61 Bridge Street, Kington, England”. (the fake address from the website).
Me: “No, that is a house on a residential street. Where is your magnificent building with the bull statue?”
IOTA Miner: “We have multiple office locations”.
Me: “Yes, but where is the one with the bull statue? I want to see the bull.”
IOTA Miner: “If you have any concerns, you can purchase our free $15.00 contract.”
Me: “I don’t have any concerns, I just want to know where your bull statue is. Will you tell me where your bull statue is?”
IOTA Miner: “I’m just an ordinary customer staff. I don’t know our other office locations.”
Me: “Ok, what is your office address?”
IOTA Miner: “61 Bridge Street, Kington, England.”
Me: (using Google street view) “That is the address of a house with 4 windows. Which window is yours?”
IOTA Miner: “I reserve the right not to respond with your inquiries.”
Me: “You want me to send you money but you won’t tell me where your bull statue is?”
IOTA Miner: “If you have any concerns you can come to the company for your own inspection.”
Me: “Do you have a tour?”
IOTA Miner: “It is your choice whether to purchase the contract or not. No one can force you”
Me: “Yes, but do you have a tour if I come visit?”
IOTA Miner: “I don’t have time to receive you. There are special staff to receive you.”
Me: “OK, connect me to the special staff.”
Chat: “…………………”
Me: “Hello…hello?”
End of chat.
It’s difficult to know where the IOTA Miner scam is originating from. Most likely a country with no financial regulations somewhere in Eastern Europe or Asia. If IOTA Miner wants to prove it is not a scam, just tell me where the bull statue is. All I want is to see the bull.
