Flippa.com FLIPPA.COM PTY LTD Shielding Chinese Hacker groups, Fraudulent Sales, and Insider Dealing Collingwood Melbourne

Do not do business with Flippa.com. We recently submitted bids on the Flippa marketplace for several websites. During one auction, we put i n a bid below the "Buy it now" price for a website we soon discovered was not owned or operated by the seller. Unbeknownst to us, the seller was part of a hacker group that is being sheltered by Flippa and allowed to sell stolen digital assets. Along with another seller who sold us a separate website, transferred it to my hosting company, and had previously embedded a backdoor and malware that allowed them access to all our digital assets.

This hacker group then took out 5 personal gmail accounts, infected and shutdown over 70 domains worth $125k. Flippa.com, when contacted to resolve the problems, shut down all access to our records.

Flippa.com has no phone numbers available to contact them, and all communications come through a general support email address which is filtered and monitored by a team that is unwilling to provide additional information. The operations of the company are essentially shielded from any accountability, and easily avoid responsibility for the activity on their platform by controlling all communications between buyers and sellers.

The founders are not involved and they have all run off to create new scam sites dealing with online business.

 We've already reported Flippa and this situation to Australian Federal Cybercrimes, Canadian Cybercrimes agency, FBI, US Secret Service, the FTC, Interpol, and German police agencies dealing with international cybercrimes.

Avoid this "company" at all costs - they are nothing more than a ring of scammers operating behind closed doors.
