BITS RAPID Cloud Mining - SCAM ALERT

BITS RAPID Cloud Mining - https://bitsrapid.com/ Their Description

BITS RAPID Cloud Mining is a AMERICAN company registered and established in SAN FRANCISCO. The company was born as a result of studying the Crypto-Currency Industry in depth for the past three years, the results of our research resulted in the development of a two tier solution. Our first Tier was our Cloud Mining Solution. This cloud mining solution enables both novices and seasoned crypto-currency miners the ability to mine various crypto-currencies and gain significant ROI without any equipment investment. The second tier is our revolutionary universal crypto-currency mining. We provide free support in every aspect of getting our clients set up and ongoing support for questions or assistance after setting up accounts with our company. Clients with no knowledge of crypto-currency mining can feel to approach us and we will hold their hands through the entire process.

FIRST - aside from social media, this company has absolutely no contact information on their website at all. Just that fact alone should keep you away!

They say they are registered In the U.S. but provide no registry number or any proof at all.  BitsRapid.com is a newly registered website, with its registration date on December 11, 2015.

BitsRapid is actively hiding its company information. Contact details are not provided and the website registrar data is privacy protected. Further attempts to find official documents failed as well.

Despite being very secretive about the company location, the website does mention that "BITS RAPID Cloud Mining is a AMERICAN company registered and established in SAN FRANCISCO [California]". Given this information, it shouldn't be hard to find more information on this entity at the main website of the California Secretary of State, as limited liability companies are required to register here first. The only problem is that neither "BitsRapid" nor "Bits Rapid" return any results.

We also noticed their command of the English language is severely lacking. I am willing to bet it is not based in the U.S. at all.

I am personally signing up now to get an inside look. I will reply with an update soon...

HYIP Monitors - Most Are Scams

People remember this Many HYIP monitors are paid by, work for, and sometimes even own some of the businesses they claim are paying. NEVER trust any monitor with referral links (that should be common sense). I have even seen hyip monitor sites with ads to sites they have blacklisted (they claim to have no control over ads) this is a complete lie. You ALWAYS have control over the ads shown on your site. Any webmaster or site owner will tell you this.

Also check the methods of deposit they (HYIPs) accept. If they all have no way of you getting your money back (Ok Pay, Perfect Money, Payeer, BitCoin or other cryptocurrency, Solid Trust, QIWI) it should be a clue. And NO accepting credit cards does not make them legit. They can rip you off as long as they only accept 250.00 max deposit at a time. AND if they reside in certain countries it does matter how you pay...you're screwed. So do your homework...

Firstly the owner of this website, is now trying to claim it was sold and he is not and never was the owner. He is also claiming it is no longer located in the U.K. . Regardless according to U.K. and International law he is still the lawful (chuckle)owner. For obvious reasons we are all aware of he is trying to pass the blame. Here is just one of the detrimental comments he made in the other post:

The TruthJune 22, 2016 at 6:48 PMNone of that means anything..BTCpop is no longer in the UK and under new ownership..piss and moan all you want its pointless, no one cares what you have to say. By the way I dont own BTCpop previously or now..must be another one of your outlandish ideas!

Yet on the site he claims to own it he is registered as the owner. If it did move he broke the law in a huge way (you read more about these laws below). But it comes down to lying to all of you, and relocating to some secret place with your money. Start reporting him immediately or you will lose your money. Do not think because he paid you a few times it means anything. That is the bait all these fishers use to hook you and run.

Please refer to all this idiots comments on the original post http://oswfi.blogspot.com/2016/06/fraud-btc-pop-limited.html

Via FCA -Firms and individuals can only offer most financial products and services in the UK if they are authorised, registered or approved to do so, or are otherwise exempt.
Yet some act without our authorisation or registration, or without being exempt, and some knowingly run scams.
If you deal with a firm (or individual) that is not regulated you may not be covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service or Financial Services Compensation Scheme if things go wrong. Search for a firm or individual to find out how you are protected.
Protect yourself from scams Find out how to check you are dealing with a regulated firm.
You can see what to do if you have been scammed, are concerned about an investment or have been contacted by fraudsters.
You can also help us protect other people if you report a scam or unauthorised firm.

What is BTCPOP?
BTCPOP are a peer-to-peer lending service within the bitcoin domain. BTCPOP are the only bitcoin lending platform that offers users the opportunity to take out an instant loan, offer a 5% interest savings account, allow users to set their own APR limit, offer insurance backed loans, coin exchange and allows users to create their own IPO (initial public offering) campaign.BTCPOP are leading the way with innovative ideas that make it easier for you to start your own business, take out a loan and save money!

First 5% interest should be your first clue it's a scam. That rate is not profitable or sustainable, so he is just paying 'some' people's interest using other people's investment money. Don't take my word for it ask anyone in the finance sector. Second he cannot make, create, or own a bank. Ask to see his banking license,,,plain and simple.Are credit cards accepted, I bet they are not? Who is his insurer, because he legally HAS to be insured? Or do it the easy way and call the Financial Conduct Authority and ask like I did - not only is he not allowed to operate as a bank, he is now being investigated by them. Call them yourself, they are very helpful and would love to learn more about BTCPOP's bank. I really hope no one bought shares, if you did that money is gone. He publicly listed 1 share holder...HIMSELF!

Call us on 0800 111 6768 (freephone) or 0300 500 8082 from the UK, or +44 207 066 1000 from abroad. We are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm.

BTCPOP Employees Please Read - If you work there and are truly unaware of the illegal activities I urge you to quit right away then immediately check out and utilize the information on their Whistleblowing Page . Otherwise you are leaving yourself open to some really terrible legal action,,,both criminal and civil.

For All Investors - BTCPOP is not a registered or licensed financial institution. I have already verified this information. The Financial Conduct Authority has a page titled Report a scam or unauthorised firm. Almost all firms offering financial services in the UK must be authorised by us. You should only deal with authorised firms.
Always check the Financial Services Register to ensure firms are authorised.
Please tell us as much as you can about the firm or individual who contacted you; please complete separate forms if you have been contacted by several firms or individuals.
If you have lost money to fraud, you should report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or online at www.actionfraud.police.uk (link is external).

Tell them about the firm you are reporting to them and why you are reporting them if want any chance of not losing all or some of your hard earned money I suggest you visit this page and contact the relevant reps as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT - Many of the services he offers are FCA regulated activities. His services though supposed to be regulated, audited, and over-sighted circumvent all these rules. Meaning you have no protection, he can take your money and run. Sure it's illegal...BUT there will be no proof of how much money was there, who it belonged to, and how much is owed to whom. What I cannot believe is while he was pretending to hire people (probably family and friends) no one has the title TREASURER. NO ONE IS IN CHARGE OF THE MONEY MANAGEMENT---THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE RED FLAG! Then you really need to read this:

Unregulated collective investment schemes

"Company status

Active — Active proposal to strike off" - via Companies House - The Official U.K. Business Registrar

STRIKE OFF DEFINITION:

Process of removing an incorporated or registered firm from the register or roll kept by the governing statutory agency such as registrar of companies. Striking off may be (1) on the request of the firm itself after cessation of business activities, (2) on non-filing of accounts and other statutory requirements, or (3) on non-response to the statutory agency's mail sent to the firm's official (registered) address.

What this means is that on 14 April 2016, all assets become the property of the crown. EVERY ASSET means your money, which I guarantee will be moved before that. Below is a copy of the official notice sent to him.

In the U.K. as in many companies there are other companies that exist to validate business information. For some (obvious reason) he thinks they intentionally get all the information wrong and none can be trusted. We sane people know different, so I will list links to quite a few of them for you.

FRAUD BTC-POP Limited

https://btcpop.co/ - Why people did not even take a little bit if time to look into this company is beyond me. It;s another business in a postal box with no real physical presence. They list employees on their site, yet he claims 1 employee...himself. So they are probably just friends or something. He is also NOT allowed to run, a bank, or an exchange. He has completely none of the countries requirements to do this. I will provide all the links below you could possibly need as proof of this being a complete and utter scam. The company is also up for disolvement if he doesn't provide the paperwork and proof they have requested many times.

One more thing, they own the company they use to verify identities https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/35875-btcpopco-acquires-ardevacom/. This is just wrong, especially when they are already a fraud. Nor though they want to know who you are, they will not prove who they are at all. No full names, or anything to verify their own identities. My guess from his very poor English is he is an immigrant who will rake in the money and run. Let's not forget Advera had their own problems regarding fraud and falsified documents.

Here is a pic of their fake office on an empty road.

New Start and Happy to be Back

We have been offline now for a few months. The reason being there were just way too many requests to handle at the time with the help I had. Even law enforcement was backed up and was ill prepared for that storm.

Things are much different now. These HYIP ponzi schemes are no longer tolerated. They are investigated quickly and dealt with harshly. The FBI, Homeland Security, an CIA have all joined the fight now since it has come to light many of these operations were fronts for militant cells, allotting them plenty of money to commit horrible acts.

We will not start slow, and the first proven fraud website will be posted as soon as I either hear or don't hear from it's fake CEO. All information about this scheme will be made available tonight.

SO later tonight we put the truth out about the scam site BTCPOP LIMITED. Wait until you hear this story...

Protect Yourself ! Don't Get Scammed

Applying US law

So exactly how does US law apply outside of its physical borders?
The first and most important thing to know is that, as a general matter, any company that does business in the United States is likely to be subject to US law, even if the company isn’t located here. So incorporating in Finland and locating servers and employees in Helsinki won’t eliminate the effect of US law for a company that mostly serves US customers.

The Bank Secrecy Act and Cryptocurrencies

The Bank Secrecy Act sets forth rules for banks and other financial institutions, including money services businesses, to detect and report suspicious financial transactions to law enforcement and regulatory agencies.

Analyzing the public traces left by every bitcoin transaction could allow law enforcement to identify many users of a currency often assumed to offer anonymity.

The digital currency Bitcoin has a reputation for providing privacy. But a new analysis of the public log of all bitcoin transactions suggests it could be surprisingly easy for a law enforcement agency to identify many users of the currency. Popular uses for bitcoins include illicit gambling and making purchases at an online marketplace called Silk Road, where illegal drugs are traded openly.
