ppc-wallet.com is a high ranking website in Google when you search for Peercoin Wallets. It’s supposed to be an online web wallet, however we have received multiple reports going back to early 2014 from our users here, chat and social media that their coins were stolen by this service.

The user deposits the coins, but is unable to move or withdraw them after that. DO NOT USE IT! Once their criminal activity starts being reported in this community and in public chat, the owner of the website starts forwarding the domain to peercoin.net (our official website).

They switch from their scam website to forwarding to Peercoin’s official website whenever a lot of attention is on them. Then once the focus on them drops back to low levels, they switch the website back to continue scamming unsuspecting people. From this, we can determine that the scammer is most likely keeping an eye on our community to watch for signs that people are onto his operation.

Let’s all report this website and get them shut down so no more people fall victim to it. You can send emails and complain to the following places. The higher in price Peercoin gets, the more this will become a problem, so we need to do something about it now, not later.

#2. Report to Google

The website would not be a problem if Google did not list it so high in search results. You can report it to Google here…

You can also go to the bottom of a google search that you find it on and ‘send feedback’ with a screenshot of the fraudulent site.

Reporting them to domain and web hosts has produced no results, because they keep switching services. You can see that info here…

Basically, I tried this service out recently but had problems depositing Peercoins - it took me several hours despite well over 6 confirmations. I tried emailing support, but over 48 hours later I have yet to receive a response. The Peercoins were eventually deposited, however I have been unable to withdraw them again, and we’re coming up to 36 hours on that. Overall, I would recommend people avoid this service. It is a shame, but I hope this saves someone from having to go through the hassle I have.
