BAY Miner Review — Is BAY Miner a Scam?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold this account, we cannot close a balance, and we do not phone you as this firm.

Yes. BAY Miner is a “UK cloud mining” platform documented by reviewers as a pig-butchering scheme, now effectively offline (SSL error 526). The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid bayminer.com, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

The record

What the notices say

  • Trustpilot (3.2/5, ~46 reviews, mostly scam reports) documents the pattern: small paid contracts first, then withdrawals blocked unless more is deposited ($2,000–$4,700 demanded), with “account in default” pretexts.
  • One reviewer records the FCA confirming in writing that neither Bayminer nor its claimed associate (Bodium Capital) holds an FCA licence; the claimed UK address is not verifiable as its office.
  • Gridinsoft classifies it as a financial scam (1/100); Reddit flags fake Apple News “legitimacy” articles and fake Trustpilot reviews; it claims payouts “not affected by BTC price” — a documented nonsense claim.
  • Status note: as of October 2026 the domain returns an SSL error (HTTP 526) — the operation appears wound down or moved.
Loss or this pattern

A trading loss and this pattern are not the same

A trading loss is a real position that moved against you. You can see the trade. The pattern below is a different event.

  • withdrawal blocked pending extra deposits of $2,000+
  • fake “account default” fees
  • support telling users “we want rich people”
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my BAY Miner account, or have the person who phoned me call again?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold an account at bayminer.com. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as BAY Miner.

BAY Miner says I must pay a tax or fee before withdrawing — should I?

No. A real broker deducts a fee from the balance. A new payment to release your own money is a second charge. Keep the message that asked for it.

What do you do with what I send?

We place it next to the record above. Where the same payment shows up from other people, those files can sit together as a class action. The first look is free.
