MineBTC Review — Is MineBTC a Scam?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold this account, we cannot close a balance, and we do not phone you as this firm.

Yes. MineBTC is a defunct “cloud mining” site documented for demanding fees before withdrawals. The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid minebtc.io, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

The record

What the notices say

  • Trustpilot (1.5/5 “Bad”, ~24 reviews): mined balances shown, but withdrawal requires paying a “maintenance/upgrade fee” first; fees paid, withdrawal stays “pending”.
  • Listed on crypto scam blacklists (scambitcoin.com and others); uses a London street address with no verifiable office.
  • Status note: the site now returns an empty body — effectively defunct — but the documented complaint record stands.
Loss or this pattern

A trading loss and this pattern are not the same

A trading loss is a real position that moved against you. You can see the trade. The pattern below is a different event.

  • “maintenance fees” demanded before withdrawal, then silence
  • mined balances that never leave the platform
  • blacklist entries on scam-tracking sites
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my MineBTC account, or have the person who phoned me call again?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold an account at minebtc.io. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as MineBTC.

MineBTC says I must pay a tax or fee before withdrawing — should I?

No. A real broker deducts a fee from the balance. A new payment to release your own money is a second charge. Keep the message that asked for it.

What do you do with what I send?

We place it next to the record above. Where the same payment shows up from other people, those files can sit together as a class action. The first look is free.
