The low-quality pictures of the miners and their prices on the homepage of the scam FusionSilicon site was a pretty big giveaway that the site was a scam to me. Most of the other pictures on the scam site are also very low-quality and seem to be ripped straight off the legit FusionSilicon site as well.

Also did a quick whois lookup for the scam site, shows it was made sometime in February.

yeah...couple days ago the web looked better and i was googling for the site and google offered only this scam site in results..well.. i know my fault.
today i clearly can see mistake on coding of the web, layout,etc..it wasnt there before. also official site is not using https...
anyway here is statement from the official site:

Quote
1. 1. The only official website of Shenzhen FusionSilicon semiconductor co., Ltd is www.fusionsilicon.com. It is also the only official sales site for the miner. Recently, customers reported that www.fusionsilicon.org fake miner sales site, and leave official sales phone. Please identify carefully, be careful not to be cheated!

because there is no control and people are not informed, thats all. so scammer try to scam you for money, it is also in real world not only here, but in reality there is not much oportunity, like ponzi shcemes, etc.

Crypto is full of easy and often at times, dumb money. Everybody wants moons and lambos. Most are lethally allergic to basic DD and it's easier to climb Mt. Everest than get them to DYOR. These guys come in for plug-and-play money. Easy targets

They have given address of a concert hall in China..!! There office is at a concert hall.? It looks suspicious to me. Also many new ways of scamming has been emerged in recent times and it you have to be careful before putting your money.
