I am trying to figure out if the site is a scam https://elitesolutionminers.com/. I cannot find anything about them on any search engine other then the website itself. The address is a house according to google maps. I tried searching the Texas Secretary of State Business Filings search but there is a fee. I have never seen that on SOS site. How does one know its a legit business if you can't search the state records. I tried to searching the Texas Comptroller website and found nothing which is odd. A legit business has to file taxes, even if it is just pay roll taxes. That doesn't mean that the company isn't registered elsewhere, or is a dba (doing business as). The website was registered in May 2021. The only payment methods they offer is Cryptocurrency and bank draft, so I am skeptical. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It seems like you have already figured it out. Those two are enough for you to avoid sending any money to them

The site is also copied from https://minersdepo.com/ another site that seems untrustworthy according to Trustpilot reviews - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/minersdepo.com

It's a little order than elitesolutionminers.com which means the just copied another scam site

In addition, some items are way below their average price. It's too much even at a S A L E price, you do this and you risk of getting out of business which no sane person would which is why I'm pretty convinced this is a scam.

Some of 'em:

Innosilicon A6+ LTC Master
ESM: 1900 USD (https://archive.is/ao6Xi)
Manufacturer: 4388 USD as of Jan 17, 2021 (https://web.archive.org/web/20210117173343/https://www.innosilicon.com/html/a6+-miner/index.html)

Innosilicon T3+ 57T
ESM: 1360 USD (https://archive.is/dk5fy)
Manufacturer: 4388 USD as of Nov 07, 2020 (https://web.archive.org/web/20201107230920/https://www.innosilicon.com/html/t3+57t-miner/index.html)

Antminer S19 pro
ESM = 1900 USD (https://archive.is/rfARg)
Manufacturer: 3769 USD as of Feb 11, 2021 (https://web.archive.org/web/20210211235341/https://shop.bitmain.com/)
The above ships this august so giving them the benefit of the doubt, next one would be 2581 USD as of Nov. 21, 2020 (https://web.archive.org/web/20201121231622/https://shop.bitmain.com/) which is still way below IMO considering tax and shipping fees are not included. Most importantly, there is no profit.

Just a tip: You don't necessarily need to be 100% certain on whether it's a scam in order to stay away. A lot of times the red flags are enough to tell you how much you are risking because the greater they are, the higher the chances you're gonna get scammed.
