Coinomia is another cloud mining Ponzi Scheme that aims to    defraud users. The company makes some very bold claims which    are not backed by any solid or credible evidence by any means.    Avoid this company at all times and invest wisely.  <\/p>\n<p>    A lot of companies who claim to be active in the world of    bitcoin and cryptocurrency require a lot of budget to set up    mining operations. That being said, it would appear there are    so many companies active in the world of cloud mining bitcoin,    even though there are very few legitimate offerings available.    Coinomia is definitely not a legitimate mining company, as they    provide no evidence whatsoever.  <\/p>\n<p>    When one opens the Coinomia website,    it becomes evident the company is trying to trick as many users    into investing as possible. The company also claims to be    mining since 2014, yet there is no proof of this claim being    true by any means. It is possible this may have taken place    under a different name, although it is unclear which company    that would have been. Rest assured this is the first sign of    Coinomia being a scam.  <\/p>\n<p>    Users who sign up with Coinomia will get 3TH\/s for    signing up. Users who prefer to mine Ethereum will receive 0.58    MH\/s of hashing power. It is rather unusual to see companies    give away such large amounts of hashing power in exchange for    US$100, as it requires a fair amount of hardware to provide    these speeds. Then again, Coinomia has no mining hardware in    the first place, and all of this free mining power only    represents an update in the database.  <\/p>\n<p>    To top it all off, the mining plan comes with 8% referral    commission. The goal of Coinomia is to get users to invite as    many people as possible to make sure the people running this    cloud mining scheme can fill their pockets. More expensive    plans are also available, ranging from US$1,000 to US$10,000.    It is rather odd to see these prices not listed in BTC or ETH    value, but then again, this is a scam site after all. More    expensive plans result in higher referral commissions, which is    absolutely bogus.  <\/p>\n<p>    What is even more troublesome is how Coinomia positions    itself as being a mining application, rather than a cloud    mining company. They also claim any device or gadget can be    used to mine cryptocurrency and earn these returns. That is a    very strange business model, considering the company claims to    have ASIC chips and mining equipment located in data centers    around the world. If that is the case, why do users need to    download this software? Very strange indeed.  <\/p>\n<p>    Not much information can be found about the company    itself either. Although Coinomia Technologies LTD has an office    address listed on the website, it is doubtful that location    houses any office related to this business. Moreover, there is    no company registration number, although the team would    probably be able to present a company number when requested.    All it takes is a bit of cash and the paper is issued    automatically. All things considered, it is best to steer away    from Coinomia and not lose your money.  <\/p>\n<p>    If you liked this article, follow us on Twitter    @themerklenews and make sure to subscribe to our newsletter to    receive the latest bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and technology    news.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Original post:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/themerkle.com\/bitcoin-scam-site-warning-coinomia\/\" title=\"Bitcoin Scam Site Warning  Coinomia - The Merkle\">Bitcoin Scam Site Warning  Coinomia - The Merkle<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> It has been a while since we last looked at bitcoin scam sites, even though they are even more common than ever before.
