I just wanted to let the community know about the website http://antminerbitcoin.com, a page where supposedly they distribute the S9 and L3 + models of the Antminer, but in fact it is a scammer.
The site has a well-worked look and is intended to be the distributor Antminer Distribution EU (can be seen on the contact page, where the address, photograph, etc. are copied from the original European reseller site).
You can check that it is a scam in several points:

· Whois data does not match those of the original distributor
· The photo of your so-called "stock" is simply an old picture taken from the internet
· Contact Antminer Distribution EU and deny any relationship with antminerbitcoin.com
· Contact the address abuse of websitewelcome (the hosting of antminerbitcoin.com) without any response
· The price of Antminer L3 + is cheaper than in Bitmain, which is not suspect, the following.
· They stated that they could send the Antminer L3 + several days before the July 15 batch.
· I had a conversation by courier where the supposed seller only gave information on the payment method, showing that I did not have much idea about something that a reseller would know that the PSU is sold separately (he said that everything was included, that he paid And in 2 days I would receive xD)

Luckily they have not been able to defraud anyone, as can be seen at https://blockchain.info/address/1PRmkXLie1KeQifWosAPttVS88TdjqoTc

And let's hope it stays that way

Thanks for the notice, I am looking for a cheap miner and you knocked a scam website away from me. It certainly does look well made, and looks copied. Would you be kind enough to provide me a link to the site that the website that it copied?

The prices are also pretty dodgy and that is another sign that something isn't right. I like how they made the prices low, but not know enough for people to think that it would be a scam.

The logo of the site that is on the google chrome tab is also blank, and if the site was well established and legitimate, it wouldn't be like that.

Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Obviously the site is not safe to buy any miners in there, you can see in google those images they attach from that site, and they don't even have SSL encryption for the secured browsing on their site thats why it can't be trusted and just avoid them for the sake of your coins. And anyways thanks for informing us here.
