Title: wallminer.com is a scam site?
Post by: BustyKuroNeko on January 26, 2017, 08:00:53 PM
Hi, well i was still looking to buy an R4 and found the site wallminer.com.
I checked it out and in the bottom they "We accept paypal". So i though that i maybe found a trust worthy site.
But after creating a profile and going to the checkout i found something pretty disturbing...

They ask you to send them money to their account. and then they will send you the product. But this isn't the way you use paypal to buy stuff, this is a send me your money for services i didn't and won't do. I checked everywhere to find reviews of this site but none to be found so i decided to make this post. Maybe someone bought something and actually got it (i highly doubt it) but prove me wrong.
This is probably in the wrong section but i didn't find a scam site section but you can advise me and i will move it.
Thanks

Wallminer list a vast array of miners from many, many manufacturers.

I've only had a quick look, but two products on sale and apparently listed as available to order are Yesminer M10 and M20.
Yesminer is the subject of a fairly lengthy and highly negative thread here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1152767.400), which basically concludes that the yesminer machines are vaporware and that prepayers never received the (non existent) product.

How a site could offer vaporware for sale and be a legitmate reseller, I don't know.

Do not buy from them. The prices are just ridiculously cheap, especially for non-existing miners. I placed a test order from them since it's one of the few "companies" excepting PP. Needless to say, order is in "shipped" status all this time. 2 weeks ago asked for tracking - no reply. A week ago asked some Chan guy in their chat again, and yeah, he could not locate my name and address by the order number ... He said after contacting distribution he'll send me tracking # via email. Yeah, right. Starting PayP claim today. There is another one I tested "JSKom.com" - same story. No tracking. Placed orders on the same day.


These are 100% scammers, stay away.

Have to ask, why is this thread in the Marketplace > Goods (Buying/Selling) > Computer Hardware?

Hello,

www.wallminer.com is a biggest scam site in the world and now the site is back (online). Really dangerous for newbies.

Ich pay 750 Euro in January for three orders. The contact of the site was Mr. Hillmann and 250 Dollars for fast shipping.
And now its Dezember. In April i was by the police for cybercrime, I hope they fimd the people in indonesia.

HANDS OFF!!!!!!
