Title: Possible scam on bitmit-auction
Post by: runeks on February 05, 2012, 04:47:18 PM
The following auction on bitmit.net looks a lot like a scam:

See my reddit post describing why I think this is the case here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/pbpxs/bitcoin_mining_rig_4_sale_15ghash/c3o4lni

FYI I have made a bid of 245 BTC, to deter anyone else from bidding on it.

You got outbid I think?

nevermind 250 is the buy now price. Where is your bid?

My bid has been registered as 100.07 BTC apparently (http://bitmit.net/en/trade/i/740-bitcoin-mining-rig/bids). That's probably the minimum required bid to win the auction, and I will overbid anyone until it reaches 245 BTC.
Luckily it seems no one has fallen for it yet. But it would be nice to get a response from bitmit. I've contacted them just now through the form on their website.
