What happened:
As soon as I saw there's a recurring pattern ^[MinerMiner] in their domain name, I knew it was one of those platforms that are meant to scam its users...

Tagged and "created a flag (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2880)".

Nice effort to spot the scammer @SFR10

I have come across some of this scam sites and for some reason, they like using WhatsApp as a messenger for communication instead of an email address.
Flag supported. Hopefully newbies and guests will see the warnings.

IIRC, there were certain ways to create a fake WhatsApp account ^{[in other words, it takes little to no effort for them to start over with a new one]}.

Thank you for the support and also for posting a warning on the other thread.

There have been some developments:

• They've moved to a new domain ^{[it's redirecting to "btcminermachinefactory.com (https://archive.fo/h6hwv#30%)"]}, but it's not yet up!
• I found "their number (https://archive.fo/o4qJT#selection-603.95-603.111)" on a completely different type of platform ^{[onlinepharmaceuticalmeds.com (https://archive.fo/Cl3BF#selection-629.9-629.25)]}, so there might be a connection.
