I sent an email to Bitfury and they confirmed that they are not associated with bitfury.shop in any way. This is likely a scam!" From a poster below.. quite suspicious.. Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: stelee68 on January 04, 2018, 03:28:06 AM The hashrate looks good, and price per TH is around usd$190+ per TH for total price + VAT.
Yep, the VAT is 21% and have to pay additional import tax for coming into the country. Payment by BTC only, I guess only you old-timers have that kind of BTC sitting around waiting to be spend eh... Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: livfreely on January 04, 2018, 03:39:20 AM That looks nice. Do you have to have your own dedicated panel to power this thing....lol
Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: HagssFIN on January 04, 2018, 03:42:15 AM Can you confirm that it is a legit webshop?
I can't see any link at Bitfury's official website www.bitfury.com Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: gurugarzah on January 04, 2018, 04:06:21 AM Site was just purchased on December 5th
Here’s all the Whois info it’s only Registered for a year. If it’s a scam it’s one of the nicer scam sites. But, his gmail address kind of raises a brow. Code: Domain Name: BITFURY.SHOP (Moderator's note: This post was edited by frodocooper to use code tags for the website's domain details.) Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: livfreely on January 04, 2018, 04:12:15 AM Well it says two batches have already sold out. So their has to be someone who will be reviewing these if true. I should expect we see something confirming this unit shortly.

On there website www.bitfury.com they’ve stated beware of scams here’s our web page addresses. It doesn’t list BitFury.shop <- this is important. I’m Just saying I’d be wary of it personally.

I agree - why is the domain registered from a Russian registrar? Bitfury has no presence in Russia that I can see. The photos of the product are also sketchy. Looks like there are 6 Antminers in a rackmount conversion chassis. Safe to call scam on this until proven otherwise.

1. It's behind CloudFlare 2. Bitfury.com is not behind CloudFlare 3. http://www.crimeflare.info/cfs.html - reveals an IP address possibly associated with this cloudflare account. Some CloudFlare-user domains with a direct-connect IP address of 185.145.131.236 bitfury.shop catherby.pw ddos.wtf Hmm.. Then using the leet hacking tool of Google - dolbonavt@gmail.com email address comes up with some not-so-nice results. Run, don't walk away from this deal.

Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: spazzdla on January 04, 2018, 02:46:02 PM Can you confirm that it is a legit webshop? I can't see any link at Bitfury's official website www.bitfury.com I cannot, kind of why I asked the question. I'd am thinking it is legit as there is a guy in Toronto wanting to sell them.. Claims to have them on hand. It's a 2 hour drive and that city has to many Fing people so going to find out isn't very tempting. Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: paddyj on January 04, 2018, 04:14:57 PM Be wary of this website. I sent an email to Bitfury and they confirmed that they are not associated with bitfury.shop in any way. This is likely a scam!
Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: bitcoinguy140 on January 04, 2018, 04:29:01 PM SCAM
THE OP might want to update the original post because i didnt realize it was a scam until I started researching. Its very misleading first post. Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: majlkcze on January 05, 2018, 06:48:40 AM I have contacted official Bitfury via email, their price is 7.000 USD per unit, with delivery within 8 months.

Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: exx1976 on January 05, 2018, 01:30:48 PM I have contacted official Bitfury via email, their price is 7.000 USD per unit, with delivery within 8 months. You can contact sales@bitfury.com Dont use the fake scam website... contact them directly You also forgot to mention they have a minimum $2M USD order size.... Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: HagssFIN on January 05, 2018, 01:33:09 PM Delivery within 8 months?
Who would be crazy enough to do an order with that time frame? ??? Title: Re: New bitfury B8 Post by: CM Australia on January 05, 2018, 02:45:38 PM I visited this site after it was first posted here on this forum and made it as far as the checkout with 2 B8's before pulling back and contacting Bitfury through their legitimate website first.
They told me they have nothing to do with this bitfury.shop site so yeah I can also confirm it is a scam. Close call though. The site looks very real. I nearly lost a lot of money.

Background check is a must, when buying hardware. Thanks Hagssfin. I am normally very cautious but got over excited. This thread at that point was just the first post and a link (New Bitfury B8)...Luckily I had a moment of paranoia when I looked at the amount I was going to spend and decided to check with Bitfury first. Lesson learned for much less than it would have cost had I proceeded with a few more clicks. |
