Kelyminer

Update2 (Mar 9,2024): Since we were able to shut down their last few domains, now they are scamming under a new name, "kelymining.net."
Update1: Apparently, quite a few people have been swindled by this company, therefore, to dodge the old investors and defraud new ones, kelyminer switched their domains again. Now they are scamming from "kelyminer.uk" and "kelyminer.org." Do not be fooled as they are the exact same people who ran the same site using the Top-Level Domains.pro,.net, and.com.

Be aware that the so-called cloud mining site "kelyminer(dot com) is a scam. Just like Teccrypto (dotcom)," kelyminer will allow you to make a few withdrawals at first. Cherish the first few because you're destined to be blocked from any further pay-outs once they decide to pull the plug on you. After all, if they keep paying you, how are they going to pay the investors who signed up for this ponzi scheme after you?

Yesterday, I logged into my kelyminer account and found some earnings. When I attempted to transfer just $300 to my wallet, I was assigned a new status (woohoo!) called "pending;" which, I guess, in Chinese means "quick sand" (kelyminer is located in Hong Kong). My withdrawal never came out of the pending status. Several emails sent to "*******@kelyminer.com" with zero response back. They even blocked my IP so I couldn't even access the website. I had to use web tools and discovered kelyminer website was up and running.

Sadly, I had to change my IP address to be able to see the kelyminer.com website again. Once I was able to view the site, I clicked on the chat icon and the chat guy (or, gal) kept fabricating stories. But, here's a classic scammer response from the chat support:

"due to recent hackers invading our website...we have asked you to purchase a package of US$1890 to prove that you are our member. If everything is normal, it can be restored to normal. Withdrawal request."

I stated that I'm not depositing any more money. You have my email, my IP address, and my phone number; that's as real as a user can get. I asked him/her to call me right away, but, he/she/it wouldn't. When I mentioned that "I'll spread the awareness," if I don't get my money back, this individual tells me, "you'll be able to withdraw money but need to wait for investigation." Basically, another term for "give me some time for a rug pull dude!" Needless to say, I never got my money back.

Later on, I find out they are the same people who used to run, the failed and now dissolved, "kelyminer.pro" and "kelyminer.net"
