Title: Possible ebay/website scam site? Or am i being paranoid?
Post by: omega015 on December 18, 2015, 03:31:07 PM
Could this be Scott Davies setting up again? or some other scam?

website: btcminers.co.uk
Ebay as: keitdavie-0

Both of those are very new, prices seem too good. The website wants payment only in bitcoins no paypal. I smell a rat...  I have asked him if he will do escrow or paypal and shall post any reply.

Wow that person lives quite close to me, that's only up the road.

That site is one dodgy wordpress website!

looks like they have now ceased on that ebay account and setup a new one: holme1829 They did not respond to my query so I'm 99% sure this is a scam.

I have been had via this site,  i am new to bitcoin and mining,   and wanted some hardware.

Website:  btcminers.co.uk

Made an order at btcminers.co.uk for 3x Antminer U3 63GHs – B2's for my first bitcoin mining project,  Then later realised the price was far too low,   Since I have waited by the Order Status has not changed on website despite paying with BTC from my coinbase wallet.

Paid: £60 (0.192485 BTC)
