Title: warrning bitmain site scam
Post by: gdale on August 07, 2015, 07:42:55 PM
do not buy anything from http://bitmaintec.com/BITMAIN-vouchers-receive-more-for-every-purchase.html
look at the URL
this is their real site         https://bitmaintech.com/product.htm

edit due to not wanting people scammed i posted fast.
I'm not saying https://bitmaintech.com is or has issues however http://bitmaintec.com looks to me as if it a scam people please be careful and apply the if its to good to be true then it normally is.

Definately a scam, it's a copy of bitmains site, all the links point to the real site apart from the fake voucher pages.

Very naughty  >:(  but they also aren't very bright, I'll not explain why don't want to help the scumbags.

I'll point bitmain to it, not sure if/what they can do

Can any admin/moderator ban this link, so if some writes it, it says suspecious link, removed. We don't want people to get scammed!

Always make sure to go to a site with HTTPS://.  Even the certificate is invalid.
PS: never purchase anything from a site that is not HTTPS secured.

Yes, you are right, u need always check link. There are so many phising websites, always check if u see a green keyhole.

I took care of it now.

Also, anyone, and i mean ANYONE can get a green keyhole, aka, SSL.

Look at how i got scammed by HaveBitcoin.com, they had a nice looking SSL.
