What happened:
While I was scrolling through topics in the Computer hardware section, I noticed there's a new branded account that's promoting a new platform, so I did some digging and found the following red flags:

• Fake reviews taken from other platforms ^{[screenshot (https://i.imgur.com/yBBpEU4.jpg)]}
• Their "About Us (http://web.archive.org/web/20220720144613/https://euronemining.com/about-us/)" page, has plagiarized content ^{[screenshot (https://i.imgur.com/UuS2kRp.jpg)]} from another platform ^{[screenshot (https://i.imgur.com/8eX46u9.jpg)]}
• At the bottom of the above page, they're claiming they made "2,648 successful deliveries with 10 being on each day" and that equates to being in operation for roughly 9 months, but they only registered their domain "two months ago (https://www.namecheap.com/domains/whois/result?domain=euronemining.com)"!
  
  • There are even a "bunch of blog posts (http://web.archive.org/web/20220720152417/https://euronemining.com/blog/page/2/)" from last year!
• They pretend that almost all of their products are heavily discounted:

Tagged and "created a flag (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3012)".

It looks indeed fishy. Supporting the flag.

You did a good job but it's rare for someone to buy mining hardware without digging a site search, and other details, and I also didn't think scammers were stupid and lazy because they made scams so much easier to spot.

Let's see if he will try to convince us that he is running a real company or will he move the same content to a new site and hope that someone will invest.

Right now, mining gear related scams are low, perhaps due to low mining profitability, but wait when the profits are up again and almost all the official stores don't have stock due to high demand. That's when you will be shock by the way people/newbies get scammed by those fake mining sites that you can see from a mile away.
