Title: ZTE-ASIC -- Confirmed Scam Post by: AussieHash on December 27, 2013, 12:08:19 PM https://www.zte-asic.com/zte-zeus-asic-bitcoin-miner
ZTE-ASIC seem to have appeared out of thin air yesterday, or have managed to fly under the radar despite a too-good-to-be-true price. They also claim to have completely delivered batch one last month ! I see 2 verbatim posts on 2 obscure forums by 2 different newbie posters, dated yesterday https://www.coinforum.ca/discussion/813/bitcoin-miner-6th http://forums.pureoverclock.com/bitcoin-forum/23928-bitcoin-miner-6th.html One similar post on another obscure forum dated today http://www.coinboards.org/thread-bitcoin-miner?action=lastpost And one reddit post (which I replied to) http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/1tssyy/zte_zeus_asic_6th/ Edit 1: The scammers continue to sign up brand new accounts and make fake posts http://www.bitcointalk.co.za/t/bitcoin-asic-miner/527 (verbatim post as above) http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/1twxhy/zteasic_real_thing/ Title: Re: ZTE-ASIC -- Legitimate or Scam ?

No power numbers, no proof of units in the wild. Obvious SCAM is SCAM! Plus the fact that the real ZTE corporation is located here www.zte.com.cn. The scammy site is seems to be a company registered in US. This screams of scam from a looong way. Title: Re: ZTE-ASIC -- Legitimate or Scam ?

6 TH/S @ 23.89 BTC ... at current difficulty it would make that back in 10 days... why on earth would someone sell it? and offer 30 day money back gurantee on product that ROIs in 10 days? Common sense is probably rolling in its grave... Title: Re: ZTE-ASIC -- Legitimate or Scam ? Post by: clenell on December 27, 2013, 01:04:02 PM yeah, seems fishy someone manufacturing 6TH machines fell under the radar for so long. should be easy enough to confirm.

Title: Re: ZTE-ASIC -- Legitimate or Scam ? Post by: Easy2Mine on December 27, 2013, 01:25:25 PM They are abusing ZTE name.
ZTE is a Chinese company. ZTE-Asic is a scam, no one speaks Chinese there. A bit weird for a typical Chinese company. Title: Re: ZTE-ASIC -- Legitimate or Scam ? Post by: Easy2Mine on December 27, 2013, 01:32:27 PM Use Pinyin to contact them, do not use Chinese characters.
Google can translate Chinese characters, but not Pinyin. No one can read pinyin at ZTE-Asic. A Chinese company with workers who are illiterate in Pinyin. Definately a scam.

Title: Re: ZTE-ASIC -- Legitimate or Scam ? Post by: Easy2Mine on December 27, 2013, 02:05:06 PM I report them to the real ZTE company.
Make these bastards bleed. Waiting for an email Title: Re: ZTE-ASIC -- Legitimate or Scam ? Post by: RoadStress on December 27, 2013, 02:43:23 PM I report them to the real ZTE company. Make these bastards bleed. Waiting for an email I was about to do that too. I think one is enough. I wonder if they can/will sue them for using their company name.
