Hey guys,

Last week i bought at crypto-asics.com using btc. I wonder if someone has receive any order from this guys.

Cheers

Hi, did you try there home-page?
i find it weird ???

I haven't heard of it yet. Why don't you do research BEFORE you buy something?

By paying with an e-currency like BTC, there's no way to get a refund.. I really hope they are legit.

Did you do your due diligence before sending payment?

So here is the story:

Last week I bought 3 grid seeds, with shipping it was around 1.2BTC, paid via Bips.me and got an email confirming my order.
Next day I got another email saying that my payment was received and they were shipping it the same day.

- For next two days I didn't get any tracking number, as they said, so I email again asking for my order.
  This time (this monday, today is thursday)they tell me they had a problem with their delivery from china and some units came broken,
  so they were testing, giving me a RPI controller for free in compensation, and that they would ship and provide me with a tracking number.

- After this (monday) y research a bit more and this guys ip leads to CHICAGO, USA; and not toAUSTRIA as they say, plus they used shopify to set the shop up using their 14 day trial (yes, company was created like 15 days ago), and now all I get when I try to access is a shopify login.

I sent two more emails, and they do not answer till today (thursday, when they said I would get my products, and don't even have a frkn tracking number); the weird thing, and I refuse to think there is no more people involved, is that my order number was #1008 ???, so there must be more people affected.

Now they also accepted bank transfer, and on monday they posted on reddit they added paypal checkout, but you still can't access to the site.

Thoughts??


(SCAMMED AND TODAY IS MY BDAY) >:( >:( >:(

Yes, this is a scam for sure. I ordered some gridseeds from there also. I thought that they are reliable because PayPal was one payment option...

I have bought a LOT of stuff online and first time it bites me in the ass. I can change my opened PayPal dispute to claim on next week, maybe there is change to get some money back. If you bought with BTC then it's game over probably.

As much as I love the cryptos, have to admit that this is a paradise for these fucking scammers. Too much sherlock needed to verify the sellers when paying with BTC. Emails or phone calls prove nothing. Also they can actually send the stuff for a few first orders and try to gain trust in that way.

Ok, went a bit OT...

Godspeed to all.

Any updates yet?

Yes, unfortunately there are many scammers around here.. You have to know your sources to get such devices.

Thats not good need unfortuntely. But They're right. Keep tracking the coins.

Read the last part of that email(?), you're not allowed to publicate such information. Not that I care..

With a few google searches, here is what I found:

Deleted thx

Scamadviser didn't show it as a scam when I bought, and in both the other two things, I posted and the shopify post is mine  :-\

Wow I didnt notice. If you dont get a reply in another week, you should start a thread in the scam accusations thread.

u guys deserve to be scammed since u're dumb enough just to send money like that to any site
