I've been burned on this, so although it pains me a great deal to post here, I thought I'd share the info I found in the hope that no one else will lose their BTC to this scam as I can see people are currently still sending money to the shady wallet.

Key information I found after realising my error:

IMPORTANT EDIT (addition): Change your email password if you haven't already! Especially if you use the same one on multiple sites!

• BTC address for sierrahash - quickly dropped from 49BTC to around 8BTC. Got back up to 12, then 4x 1BTC withdrawals to CkCYmVScaJByuKPKr1w8HegyWdAtuV9x7 whilst no one else could withdraw

• Article claiming it was a scam from December 5th (wish I saw this first!): https://www.scambitcoin.com/sierrahash/

• sierrahash registered details from Whois. I found a fuzzy matching search and found that there have been plenty of these before that were registered in Mayfair - London (must be a place for trading houses so good cover). Will be always using data and reputation checker site going forward!

• The Facebook page is closed down and some others are talking about it on Twitter.

• SierraHash address now tagged in relation to the scam here. Also worth bookmarking!

• If you attempt to withdraw, the message below will pop up (was missing this option altogether the other day, but must have been put back in to scoop up more BTC)
