(we are now refunding people for non delivery

so I did what they said I gave them my date of purchase and price paid witch was 1btc for 10 miners
here is the reply I got from a Benjamin ashwood

(Hello,

Unfortunately we are not in any way related to the asic-technologies scam.

Please do not fall for a scammer blackmailing us.

Kind regards,
Benjamin)

I like the way he says it is unfortunate that he is not involved in this scam

ICANN requires all domain registrants to file real contact info when registering domains, and may cancel a domain if the info provided is false.  To keep domain info confidential, third party domain privacy entities are allowed to substitute their contact info for the actual registrant's contact info at the domain registrar level, so any whois request that the public makes will show the domain privacy entity's info ("The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity").  In asic-technologies' case, Contact Privacy Inc is that entity, and Contact Privacy's address is in Toronto.  Tucows is the domain registrar, and fasthosts.co.uk is the domain reseller for Tucows.  Fasthosts is probably hosting the website, thus "Website Location: United Kingdom".

Contact Privacy Inc, as well as fasthosts.co.uk, both have the actual contact info provided by the asic-technologies scammers, but I doubt that the info would be real either.
I thought that might be the case

http://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/asic-technologies.com


Website: asic-technologies.com
Title: Asic-technologies.com - Bitcoin mining for everyone
Description: Bitcoin mining for everyone
Type: bitcoin

Domain Age: 179 Days
Website Speed: Slow

Owner: Contact Privacy Inc. Customer 0134664681
Owner Address: 96 Mowat Ave
Owner City: Toronto, ON M6K 3M1
Owner Country: Canada
Website Location: United Kingdom

Probable website origin :-

 50%;    United Kingdom

 33%;    Canada

 17%;    Netherlands

Notes:-
The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity
This website is 179 Days old
The website expected life (365 days) is relatively short.
The website appears to be less than six months old

Analysis Details:-
Although this website appears to be based in United Kingdom there are other countries involved and you should review this information carefully and decide if it is as you expect.This webite is very new , and as such doesn't have an online reputation yet. As with all new businesses , we suggest that you take care and if necessary get in contact with the owners before placing an order of value.
This site is using an anonymous service - which prevents us from identifying the site owner. This can sometimes be just so that the owner does not receive spam, but be aware that many scam sites use this as a method to hide their identify. If this is an ecommerce site - we would suggest you confirm the business address with the website owners.

The website has been newly registered with a short life expectency, which follows the pattern used by many fraudulent websites. Please be vigilant and take extra care before providing any payment information.

If you google the Toronto address you see other businesses that listed as scams that are attributed to that address...
Also, it seems that tucows is somehow affiliated with that address. http://www.tucows.com

I dunno, I live close to this area - I could technically go see whats up at this address... always makes me nervous to confront anyone about this sort of stuff. But i'd bet if it is tucows who is being "used" here, they would really want to know and would want to protect themselves.

the plot thickens

confirmed scam. sent them 1 bitcoin for the 10 usb block erupters and nothing. to start with things were good had a response straight away thanks for your order kind regards, all good im thinking. Then I had another question for them so I asked and got a reply the following day, your package had been picked up and was on its way, this is getting even better im thinking what a service so I then asked another question, what delivery service do you use and do you have a tracking number if possible? NO RESPONCE Huh and still no response after 5 or 6 more emails. so I thought I will be a little bit annoying and send them loads of emails just so I don't get missed in the inbox I sent around 80 of the same email and then bamm my inbox is going crazy with spam from every corner of the globe it would seem. so this also proves what I have read in other topics about this now is that there name was not bought out buy some spamming company it is them.
