Scam. These people keep using a different domain for this scam. You send them the money and you get nothing in return, they claim they are "mining it" which is why they say they can offer such low prices.

bitswing.com domain created on Feb 27, 2013, a week ago out of China, another clue the site is set up to get your CC info to do some fraud

Go for it, if you like spending time on the phone explaining to Visa/MC/Paypal that those laptops purchased with your CC were not authorized by you.

Nailed it.

Update, latest incarnation:
 - bitswing.com

The e-mail address for that PayPal account: bitcoinecheck@live.com

Previous scams (in chronological order) likely by the same scammer:

These guys should really be hunted down and be taught a lesson for life. I suspect we have the same scammers on our hands as we've seen before...

Isn't there somewhere all these scam sites can be reported?

I mean one website where you can submit their url, and it gets reported to all major browsers ?

Why would you order from a place like this? I cannot believe someone actually fell for it.

Did you pay with a credit card or from your existing balance (or maybe Instant transfer from your bank?)

I sincerely hope you're trolling. Are you this naive and stupid ?

If you used your credit card - cancel it.
If you used your paypal with an attached credit card, it could also be a problem.

What's up with people ?

Here's an idea!

1 BTC for only $200 USD. The reason so cheap is because I mine them. Immediate transfer!

That way the seller would be able to deliver and make 100% profit.

Probably a little of both and maybe also a little cupide but I am really working to improve myself :)



Anyway I did a chargeback at my bank and I got all my money back so I learned  my lesson.
