Islamic Miner, or Muslim Coins as it’s also known, is a scam crypto trading and investment platform that claims to give people an easy route to profiting from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
However, it is a fake platform designed to steal user’s money while offering nothing in return.
However, to give the scammers some credit, it is one of the better designed scam websites I’ve seen recently.
This makes it harder to spot than other platforms where no thought or effort has gone in to the design and function of the website.
How to tell Islamic Miner is a scam site
Once you get past the semi-professional look of the platform, there are many things that give it away as a scam website.
They include:
- The domain name is only a couple of months old.
- None of the links purporting to lead to information about the platform go anywhere.
- The name in the URL and the name on the site don’t match. The URL states ‘Islamic Miner’ while the site is called ‘Muslim Coins’.
- There are no social media channels connected to the platform, and the icons redirect to the homepage.
- The content is mostly gibberish and makes little sense when you actually study it.
- It’s likely that the text has been scraped from other, unrelated platforms.
- There are no official apps associated with the website.
- There is no information about the platform online. Any reputable crypto trading site would have reviews and mentions in the crypto media.
- The physical address given on the website is not linked to the platform.
- The latest Bitcoin trade prices displayed are completely wrong and don’t relate to the market.
I’ve been scammed by Islamic Miner, what can I do?
Unfortunately if you’ve already sent money to the Islamic Miner scam site there’s very little you can do to retrieve it.
However, it’s still worth reporting it to the relevant authorities in your country. That way, if they do ever retrieve funds from the scammers they can return your investment.
Many of these scammers are based in countries with different legal systems, and the crooks often move around to disguise their identities.
