Guys, this is getting out of control, they are back again!
I don't know who have time to take them down every week, but someone is as stubborn as them!
Every week there is a new fraudulent website of these guys from Partminer.net/ Brosminer.com/ Brosvga.com/ Vgagold.com/ Vgaminer.net/ !
It seems lucrative to the scammers as there are a number of victims who fall for the scam and end up sending $4,000+ at once hoping to get their desired mining gear. So they(scammers) can afford to switch from site to site within a few days. minerpart.org is offline. I think they have already moved onto the next one  Yes they have and the new one is - https://revumine.com/https://web.archive.org/web/20210628080630/https://revumine.com/ It seems lucrative to the scammers as there are a number of victims who fall for the scam and end up sending $4,000+ at once hoping to get their desired mining gear.

I think they have already moved onto the next one That's the saddest part,they just need to hit right one time and exit the scam and then make another scam website that have the same format. Hopefully no one has fallen for this because that's another win for these scammers if someone has already fallen for it. You're right, if there is only one person to pay them, they can buy a new domain with so little of that money ... and that can go on for years! |

This is getting to funny, every week a new website, there are no brakes for these guys.
As always, great job but I'm interested in knowing how you keep on successfully finding their next scam platform? Is it a certain group on Telegram? - No, when I see a new website, I just check it, but in particular these guys or guy always have the same layout/theme, they just change the colors on the header and the footer and words in the white papers. You can see for yourself that even the domains are similar and easy to spot. their websites are always shut down,
I'm starting to think that they're just taking down the domains themselves, while their hosting has remained unaffected.
I think you're right, there's no way anyone can make effort to stop them every week. - I tried looking for a way to report them through their registrar but had no luck in finding a way  There is no need if you ask me that it is not worth the time, because probably next week they will be with a new one: D |

Great catch that you have caught it and brought it to the community. I have just visited the website and I saw these websites is used to operate by same scripts or same file. They used almost all the duplicate contents and also the design of the website is same. I think they are doing this for marketing purpose or scam people.
Thanks a lot! It's pure SCAM, their websites are always shut down, but this time they probably took precautions before it happen. |

What happened:: Hello community, This is getting to funny, every week a new website, there are no brakes for these guys. This week is https://partminer.net/ !

Not sure why you didn't include the " archived" version! - I'm guessing you were the one who took it yesterday.Here you are links to my topics, about their old websites:
The same goes for your other threads as well; None of them have archived links [unfortunately]. - It makes it harder for us to follow and see if an accusation is true or not.
In addition to your post, it seems that they've lied about being established in 2018 [archived - about us page] and I also checked 3/4 of their homepage content for plagiarism and it returned with " 79%". Yes, I took it, unfortunately I didn't do it for the others because I didn't think of about this feature, from now on I will do it for every post I do. But believe me, these 4 websites are identical, that's why it's so funny, they don't make any effort to change a little bit the site, and for me who saw all of their websites it's more than amusing. |

What happened:: Hello again, These fraudsters just don’t give up, this week there is new domain - brosminer.com. The domain from the last week ( brosvga.com) is on hold... About the ''new'' website, there is a little change in the theme, now it’s cyan/blue not red, and the usual changes in the logo and their proof photos like in the old domains ( vgagold.com, vgaminer.net, brosvga.com) are with changed name of the company, nothing new under the sun. I can only imagine their hunger for money… this is unbelievable and a little funny, somebody have done something to stop them from stealing money multiple times, but this team or person is like cockroaches, can’t be killed even with nuclear bomb. This is the information for the new domain: Domain Name: brosminer.com

What happened:: Hello guys, guess what I found today? I found some old ''friends'' who you may know! They were once called Vgagold.com and Vgaminer.net, but now they are with new domanin Brosvga.com. These below are my old post about their SCAM websites: ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5331658.msg56819705#msg56819705 ) ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5320011.msg56434258#msg56434258 ) If you go to their home page, you will see that everything is the same - same theme, same badly photo shopped images but with new info on the white paper, same buttons and etc. They didn't even make a little effort to change their 3th scam website, only change a little bit the pictures and the heater, not the whole heater only the name and the logo.

First - Evominers.com again change their name in Trustpilot.
That means registered project can change their domain name if they want? If there is a system there then it's big chance scammer will abuse it. I am not familiar with trust pilot but know it's another space where people can see projects reviews before investing/using. But after hearing this there is a negative things arrive to me about trust pilot.  -snip-
I came to the conclusion that the guys...
Not guys, just a guy I thought. Pay attention to the date the post was sent on the same day to review 3 websites. It is impossible for every customer to buy items in the same places as other customers and write a review in the exact same way in just 1 day. So, the scammer scenario is to create 1 profile every time he accesses truspilot to review all of his websites. If you could write 1 post to review the other fake reviews, I guess that would be enough to warn others. Nice catch, they are definitely the same scammers. The reason I don't trust the ratings on sites such as Trustpilot is because they are so easy to manipulate. if you look at the domain details of evominers and asickings.com. They were registered on the same date. This is more evidence to show that the same scammer is behind all of them. Evominers Domain: evominers.com

I don't trust this website either it's to easy to manipulate.
The important thing is that everyone is on the same page about the scammer/s behind these 3 websites and I'm thankful for your opinions and input. |

Yes, I ordered simply because the official website was out of stock and I thought that maybe evominers did buy a lot of them at release date.
Also the video is well made for sure.
Well I've learned my lesson for sure.
The video is "fake", made from a template, similar to for example this one below. https://www.fiverr.com/madusankaviraj/make-video-clips-as-logistics-office-truck-warehouse-trainI'm sure a few scenes at least will be very familiar. And wouldn't be surprised if you found the person speaking in their videos on fiverr as well. Yes, I ordered simply because the official website was out of stock and I thought that maybe evominers did buy a lot of them at release date.
Also the video is well made for sure.
Well I've learned my lesson for sure.
You guys are absolutely right about the videos and there is no second opinion about that. Today I saw the new thing about Evominers.com. They have changed their trustpilot name to QUANTUM EVOLVE LTD, probably because of the attack against them, there are many verified reviews, these scammed people have already proved to trustpilot their legitimacy as clients and the guys from Evo got scared. |

What happened:: Hello guys, I want to report the next scamming website which is Miner-house.com ( https://miner-house.com/ ) Again, they are looking a lot like one of the other fake seller websites which I have reported here. I don’t know why every Scam website chooses similar themes, however in their website they have put link to the second website ( https://ako-tazit-kryptomeny.sk/ ). Which was created on 2017-12-27 and updated - 2020-11-26 a little after the registration of the main website - 2020-11-14. In both of the websites they claim to be providers of ASICs miners since 2015 which is not true. And this means they have started their SCAMMING scheme at the same week and lie about their legitimacy in the first and the second website. Domain Name: miner-house.com

>>> Last update of WHOIS database: 2021-04-28T00:00:00Z <<< The prices are incredible high and will be very unpleasant for somebody to get robbed by them. There is the usual pop-up massage that somebody has bought from them before some time, which you can see in most of the scamming websites. And I really liked their SCAM blacklist, because they have nailed their colleagues quite accurately ( https://miner-house.com/where-to-buy-asic-miners-comprehensive-suppliers-comparison-everything-you-need-to-know-before-you-buy/#scammers ) It’s a very good strategy to do this because you can build some trust in the naïve buyers and hide your real intentions to steal money from them ! Reference Link: https://miner-house.comAdditional Notes: It was very pleasant for me to inform you again and I’m hoping nobody will lose their money in this website or some other SCAM website

Simple, they are out of stock Every single legit reseller is either out of stock or is charging ridiculous prices as they know the demand is huge and there is basically no offer. And here come the scammers with everything on stock and ready to deliver, not really cheap but still well below what the few legit resellers can offer, and people fell for it, especially when the website is not a simple page like usual and it does include some, I have to admit, pretty good fake videos. I need to start tagging those the moment I see something is fishy with them, not that it will matter much but still, don't know why I waited two months. I think this is sad because a lot of people have a hard time during this shit pandemic with money.
I bought a Goldshell KD5 miner yesterday and now they have deleted my account and the order is gone. I can't retrieve my account anymore so I tried to register again with the same email which worked, but my old username is taken so I got a new one. No orders in dashbord ( orders ).
Sorry about the loss. How I wish you had come across this thread right before you made an order with them. It would have saved you from losing your hard-earned money Goldshell do have their official shop ( https://www.goldshell.com/shop/), any reason you didn't use it? I have tagged their profile and also created a flag - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2710 Please support. Thanks to everyone we can apply some pressure upon them and stop this scammers from taking more money from other people. I want to thanks stompix , logfiles and Rikafip for the 'flag'. This definitely will help help warn more people.

What happened:: Vgagold.com is the new website which caught my eye. Looks like our friends from vgaminer.net are trying to come back in the game but with new name. ( Here is my old topic about them https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5320011.msg56434258#msg56434258 ) The web site is the same like the old one, only the name is a little different. The concept is the same, theme is the same everything is very ugly and badly photoshopped on white papers with the name of the company. The pictures you can find online everywhere. The prices are again very low but the new thing is that the last time they made a fake bitcointalk page, now there is a fake news website ( https://technewscrypto.com/2021/03/26/vgagold-com-review-best-cryptocurrency-mining-hardware-equipment/ ) – only the first article is ‘OK’ with text about them and how good they are, but when you click to some other article ( https://technewscrypto.com/2018/09/14/finra-charges-broker-with-fraud-for-trading-unregistered-cryptocurrency/ ) you will see the same text everywhere, some random words just to fill the space there ( https://technewscrypto.com/2018/09/14/how-to-mine-bitcoin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-crypto/ ). The last two links are different articles but the same. In conclusion there is only one article in this website which is the one for them. Again, they have tried to fool the naïve people, but they cannot do it with the curious one. Here is the whois info as you can see, they are registered 03/29/21 Domain Name: vgagold.com

What happened:: Today I saw another fake Linzhi seller and like I always do, I wanted to report it here just in case someone needs information about it. This website is Bitcoinminerstore.com. The interesting thing here is that they claim to sell ‘used’(second hand Linzhi Phoenix). And you can order as many units as you want, which means they must have all of the Linzhi Phoenix miners in the world. ( https://bitcoinminerstore.com/linzhi-phoenix-2600mh/ ) The other impossible fact that caught my eye is ‘LINZHI DARK PHOENIX’. They have been photoshopped a black miner with 4 fans and claims that this is the upgraded version 8gb. ( https://bitcoinminerstore.com/linzhi-dark-phoenix-2800mh/ ) And the third but not last thing that you will see when you visit the website is that he strangely looks a like another SCAM website. Probably the guys behind the both websites are the same team. Their prices are not that low, like in other scamming websites, so it would be very unfortunate for someone to fall in their trap. Here is their whois.com information as you can see the domain is only 3 months old: Domain Name: bitcoinminerstore.com

Good job newbies or new member of this forum should be like you, know how to look or do an investigation if all members are like, there will be fewer scam sites and scammers will have a limitation on who they can scam, education is the key that will help us to fight these scammers when it comes to investing in Cryptocurrency awareness is a big factor.
Unfortunately it's true -- I came to the same conclusion/research -- they are Bulgarian scammers. It was pretty clear once they emailed me in broken English and their IP originating from Bulgaria.
I have lodged a complaint to Google (in response to a "sponsored result" from euro-miners) and GoDaddy on March 26th.
FBI should not be needed. I think if you can fill in a complain at your local law enforcement (and perhaps tip the Bulgarian law enforcement), new people may be prevented from being scammed.
Ah another scam miners site in the market is making fool the people. As I also said sometime that there are lot of miners scam sites are scamming people recently. During this bull market scammer targets the users who are interested in mining. You did a great job and gave an good efforts to investigate about this scam site. So thanks for that and keep the work up. Here is some info about FBI report details: https://www.ic3.gov/Thank you all for the support and for the kind words. I will continue looking for SCAM websites and report them here, as I always do. Hopefully justice is brought upon euro-miners.com and they get what they deserved ! |

Today a person contacted with me with the request for help. He told me that he was scammed by the website euro-miners.com and asked me if I can help him with getting his money back. I couldn’t reject his request for help, so I visited the website in question. Everything seemed decent, except the fact that they are looking very similar to others SCAM websites I came across the time. The second thing that caught my eye is that they had every miner and video card in stock (there are some miners with 40 units in stock). I got suspicious and started my investigation. Like always the first thing I did is to check in whois.com register to find out when the domain has been registered ( https://uk.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=euro-miners.com ) and my fears were justified, they were registered pretty soon (2021-01-12T03:41:28Z), like you can see in the information below: Domain Name: euro-miners.com

In the website euro-miners.com, they claim to be located in UK, but the address they provide in their website is fake and so is the phone number. I tracked their address on google and found out that it is connected to other companies and not theirs. Next, I tried to call their number, but it turned out that it doesn’t exist. I searched through their whole website, but couldn’t find a company connected to it. On the checkout page I notice that they only accept BTC as a form of payment. Which is a clear sign that they are thieves. After my suspicions were confirmed what caught my attention was that the Registrant information was not hidden. They must have made a mistake and had forgotten to hide it.The company who registered the domain is based in Bulgaria. Of course, the next step was to check who is ‘’Got it Ltd’’ and what they do. I found their website ( https://www.wegotit.io ) and they claim to develop websites for online trade, which is exactly what I was looking for, because if they are the SCAM team behind every other fraudulent website then that means that I’m on the right track. I looked up their company in google and found their account in a Bulgarian website called Jobs.bg ( https://www.jobs.bg/company/270150). I must say that getting the website in English was a little tricky, but I managed. On this page I was able to find very useful information, namely their UIC, Address and phone number. - UIC: 205139917
- Address: Maritsa 154A blv. Plovdiv, Bulgaria
- Phone number: +359897953363Knowing their UIC (EIK in the website) I then searched through the Bulgarian registry agency ( https://portal.registryagency.bg/) and was able to find this: https://portal.registryagency.bg/CR/Reports/ActiveConditionTabResult?uic=205139917 – their listing in the registry. On point 7 you can see the manager of the company (CEO) – Kalin Manchev Diev.I searched who is this person and found his profile in a social media, from which I found a photo of him. You can see it here: https://ibb.co/mcshVC7I believe that this criminal group based in Bulgaria is behind many other scam operations in the past. This time they have made a fatal mistake, which I believe will be enough to put them in jail, where they deserve to be. Does anyone know a way to report these criminals to the authorities like FBI and Europol?Also is anyone able to support me in this venture of bringing them to justice and share this information as far and wide as possible so that nobody else gets scammed by these people and they get what they deserve?Just in case I have documented the information that I have found, in the situation they decided to delete anything or try to hide their trace (like they have failed to do so until now). Their company website - https://web.archive.org/web/20210331130428/https://www.wegotit.io/The scam website - https://web.archive.org/web/20210331130814/https://euro-miners.com/contact-us/ This is only the beginning of my investigation. I'll continue to uncover more facts and information about this case and criminal group. |

What happened:: Hello guys, it's been a while since my last post, but I hope every body are OK and nobody was scammed this month. I want to report fraudulent website - Minerstreet.net ! When I saw it, everything looked pretty well, someone has made an effort to start it, but there are some things that bother me and definitely make me thing this is another fraudulent website. First - they have Linzhi Phoenix in stock. Second - there is a pop up message saying that somebody bought miner just now, or before 30 minutes, or one hour, or before some time, but it seems that they are pretty busy and everybody are buying from them and I'm sure, I have been seen this type of messages in others fake websites. Third- when you check the address in Google maps, there are only car dealerships, gas station and Wendy's diner. Domain: minerstreet.net Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Registered On:
2021-01-27Expires On: 2022-01-27 Updated On: 2021-03-01 Status: clientDeleteProhibited clientRenewProhibited clientTransferProhibited clientUpdateProhibited Name Servers: ns1.depro16.fcomet.com ns2.depro16.fcomet.com Scammers Profile Link: Reference Link: https://minerstreet.netAmount Scammed: Payment Method: Proof of Payment: PM/Chat Logs: Additional Notes: Until I wrote this threat, 17people bought miners from them, is it strange or there is something wrong with me? However I hope to help somebody with this and lets not forget to do our researches before sending money to somebody. Stay safe guys and don't get scammed !
