I would just like to post it here for exposure so that no can will be another victim here.
Phishing site: tormixer.io
The original site is Thormixer.io, and they already confirmed it here (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=315199.msg1575903#msg1575903/) that indeed the one that I found is a phishing/scam site.

A common scenarios from Mixing company that scam sites coming from here and there , trying to mislead users to at least send their funds into those fake sites ,and thank you for always exposing them ahead of time since this Mixer is just new and needs to keep their name safer and
i believe that your banner will help others to find the real one , best to mention your signature from time to time aside from exposing this scam sites.

Each link should be checked before clicking on it, because even legitimate sources can be compromised. Any user of this or any other forum can be hacked, and a hacker can easily change the link in the signature. Don't trust, verify ;)

Yeah, but sometimes there is a slip on all of us and say we forget to check everything before clicking any link. So hopefully we can memorized that adage of not trusting but verifying all the times.
And hopefully this should be the norm for crypto enthusiast specially mixers is one of the most cloned sites because cyber criminals thinks that somewhere, somehow, we might forget and just trust what we see in the internet or what Big G shows when we do our search.

Thank you for this information you have brought here. I am very much sure that members would see it here and know what to do next. I could imagine how many people they must have scammed before being caught. This is quite unfortunate that people would not be able to identify the real from the fake when ever they encounter them. Most newbies are the victims of this act and as such are very much likely to fall for the scam they use.
Proper research could help one stay abreast of happenings and also getting information and can be able to detect fake from the original. This is why we are advised to do our own research so as to be on the safe side.

If I'm not mistaken, Thormixer.io is new to the game, but if we look at it, there are already a phishing site created by this scammers. So thanks to the OP for exposing them and for sure this is not going to be the last one..
And just like what others have been preaching, just be careful and we shouldn't trust sites that are given to us . We need to verify first that we are in the correct URL before mixing our coins and not to be the next victim.

Has anyone tried reporting the site to their registrar and google? Back then in Bitcointalk when unijoin faced attack from scammers that created several clones we were able to bring them by reporting them to their registrar and letting them know that the site they hosted is being used for malicious activity.
Here’s the report for google: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en
I didn’t see for the registrar (nicenic.net) and according to what I read - it’s been used mostly to host scam sites so there’s a high possibility that this won’t be brought down even if we notify them.
-
The phishing version uses a single Bitcoin address, so if you create more than one session you will get that address and they have zero Bitcoin in that address. I am glad they were not able to fool anyone.
They created a Tor link similar to the thormixer link

Yes, even those who are experienced users got lured and phished by fake sites before. This scenario happens always because google search that shows scammed sites on the upper top of the search page using a google ads. That's why adblocker is a must when accessing any site.

scammers buy some paid articles, add phishing links to those articles and appear first in Google search results.
They buy similar domains, but with an old registration date, or they try to make the real domain appear second in the search results, or when some spelling is written incorrectly.
When I search for thormixer their altcoinstalks ANN topic appears on the forum first, this indicates that the quality of the forum results has increased well over the past.

Nowadays...Topics! it must be explicit, because coming to this thread means believing that the signature I have is compromised, fortunately it is the fault of the "h"... and of the users who do not read well, then the second chance which is to verify the link, it is not done...
I mean, a bit of sarcasm related to reality and OP's willingness to expose a fraudulent site, there are people who only read titles and get a bad impression of this service, let me explain.

I agree, it can be added that it is a phishing link and mentions the real domain name.
It is a good idea to click on links from signatures or from ANN.

If there are people who only read the titles, it's not the OP's fault. It's not plausible that someone would use a mixer and then be so negligent that they wouldn't check the titles carefully before using the service.
This type of phishing site has become so common that scammers often change only one letter so that the victim does not notice, so the first responsibility falls primarily on the user, and if he falls victim, it is his fault.

This the comment I have been looking for;
I am writing in this thread because of curiosity for the fact that I wear Thormixer signature. I read Tormixer as Thormixer which sounds same. It was when I opened the thread that I understood it was about a phishing scam which has been discussed in the Thormixer thread.
Op renaming the title of this thread could be a nice idea. You can go with a title like this; "Beware: Tormixer, a phishing site."

Quit unfortunate as the mixer space keep widening so are attempt by scammers trying to phish well known company and site, at one look you will think that the domain is same as that of thormixer because the scammers carefully chose a name that is closer to the original domain of thormixer.

For someone that don’t check the details of a site or are in haste to access the site can easily fall victims of this type of scam. This will actually affect a user more that have never used the site and that was their first time. Sometimes the scamming site will try to copy the UX/UI design of the original site so that users don’t easily find out. It is important to pay details to informations like this when accessing a new site, it’ll help not falling for one and thanks for sharing this information OP.

For now it might not trap anyone, but for sure if this website persists, sooner or later there will be someone who is going to fall for this trick. Unfortunately, the website is still up and so I reported it as well and hopefully Google will take it down.
And we have a lot of new mixers in the game, so perhaps this cyber criminals will again trying to emulate this website like in this case. For us who have experience already, we shouldn't be falling for it. But for newbies, who are not aware of this kind of modus from scammers, we might see someone being the first victim here.
