Title: Is Bitmastersmain.com legitimate? Noob trying to buy first equipment Post by: cbarbera on September 11, 2017, 07:35:56 PM Hi All -
So I am interested in jumping into mining and hope to get some of your expert advise. Im looking to buy an AntMiner S9 and power supply from BitmainMasters.com Are they Legit? I have to wire the money first, so I have no recourse if it's a scam. They offer Antminer S9 13.5TH for $1650 plus an unknown import duty charge I will get from US Customs. They will ship in about a month. Really worried about wiring the money and then waiting a month not knowing if it's legit. ??? ??? Thank you! Chris Title: Re: Is Bitmastersmain.com legitimate?

Some topic I found about people having doubts as well https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2100624.0;viewResults Title: Re: Is Bitmastersmain.com legitimate?

Here's my past research about that site. Someone was also asking about that site in the past. Googling bitmain, bitmainmasters.com doesn't appear on my side. What you probably saw is most likely an advertisement. Doing a bit of research, I'm not sure if it is a scam, but it most likely is. Here's the whois result: Quote Domain:bitmainmasters.com Registrar:Network Solutions, LLC. Registration Date:2017-04-03 Expiration Date:2018-04-03 Updated Date:2017-04-03 Status:clientTransferProhibited https://www.whois.com/eimg/f/4e/f4ee989bb6865ce59e382a92606fb50ea3bf2201.png@domaindiscreet.com Looking at the registration email, I think it looks like sort of a disposable email. Though I'm not 100% sure. It also has a video of their "mining operations" on their mainpage, which is a video from 2014. They probably just youtubed "bitcoin mining" then found that video and claimed it was theirs. Also, I couldn't even find reviews of the website, or any posts about it at all on bitcoin/cryptocurrency forums. I would stay away from it. If you're looking at buying miners, go to the reputable sellers instead. |
