The Truth About 88Miner.net: Scam or Legit Cloud Mining?

They reached out to us like they probably did to you—polite, eager, insistent.

They said they had clients.
They said they had budgets.
They said this was just a simple guest article, with payment to follow in “10–12 hours.”

This is the story of 88Miner.net, and why everything about them screams SCAM.

🚨 The Email Pitch: Classic Scammer Playbook

Here’s how it works:

They send emails to website owners and bloggers claiming to have urgent clients with real budgets.
They push hard emotionally: “We love your homepage!” — “You’re perfect for us!” — “The client already paid!”
They promise you’ll be paid after publishing.
And of course, once the article is live? They ghost you.

They claim legitimacy.
But everything else says otherwise.

🕵️‍♂️ What Is 88Miner.net?

According to the site, 88Miner.net is a “cloud mining” platform that lets users earn passive income by investing in crypto mining plans.

Sounds good on paper.
But when you scratch the surface, it all falls apart.

🔍 Trust Scores: A Red Flag Parade

ScamAdviser gives the site a trust score of 0/100. Yes, zero.
Reasons include:
- Hidden ownership (anonymous WHOIS)
- Signs of phishing and HYIP patterns
- Extremely low site traffic
Scam Detector pegs 88miner.com (a related domain) at 26.5/100, labeling it “suspicious” and possibly unsafe for transactions.
Even Gridinsoft, a more forgiving scanner, warns users to be cautious due to privacy risks and questionable data handling.

Translation? This isn’t a business you want to give your money—or backlinks—to.

🇮🇹 Press Coverage: European Media Calls It a Scam

In Italy, Decripto.org has reported on BowMiner / 88Miner as a fake cloud mining operation.
The article exposes how scammers use fake affiliate promotions and even local newspapers to lend false credibility.

Brazilian and Arabic outlets have also issued direct warnings about 88Miner, calling them out as deceptive operators using emotional manipulation and fake affiliate schemes to rope people in.

📉 Twitter Fakery: 3,000 Followers, 17 Views

Their Twitter account, @BowMineris, shows 2,974 followers at the time of writing. But here’s the kicker: most tweets have fewer than 20 views.

This isn’t just poor engagement—it’s the classic symptom of purchased followers or ghost accounts.

No likes.
No retweets.
No real audience.

💰 The Affiliate Trap

One link they pushed particularly hard was this one:

👉 https://88miner.net/index/index/home?invite=a1koq0

This is a referral link, meaning the person spamming you gets a payout (likely in crypto) every time someone signs up or deposits using it.

This isn’t a “guest article.”
It’s a commission scam hiding inside a sponsored post pitch.

⚠️ Their Business Model Is Built to Scam

Here’s what the real pattern looks like:

Claim	Reality
“We have clients”	Likely one person, with fake aliases
“The client paid already”	No proof ever provided
“We’ll pay in 12 hours”	They don’t. Ever.
“It’s just a guest post”	It’s a stealth affiliate scam

They prey on small website owners who need income, exploiting good faith and the natural desire to monetize.

🛑 Don’t Fall for It

If you’ve received an email from them—or someone like them—here’s what to do:

NEVER publish before payment.
ALWAYS research the link or site.
LOOK for red flags like ghost followers, urgency, and emotional language.

Legit companies don’t operate like this.

🧠 Bonus: How to Spot Scammer Outreach

They say things like:

“We already paid.”
“My other email got blocked.”
“This is not a scam, trust me.”
“We’ll pay after publishing.”
“It’s urgent. Please. My client is waiting.”

Every single one of these has been used by 88Miner.net.

Final Verdict: A Cloud Full of Lies

What started as a polite email turned into an investigation. What we found wasn’t a mining company—it was a well-dressed trap.

✅ Fake affiliate links
✅ False payment promises
✅ Ghost social media followers
✅ Media-confirmed scam reports

We were supposed to post a glowing article promoting them.

Instead?
We posted this.
