Hi
This is my first ever post on the forum even though I have been a member for a while. I have being reading many of the posts on here but it has only been in the last few weeks that I decided I wanted to buy my first mining rig. Only being of limited funds and being greedy I suppose, I wanted the most hashing rate for my money as I have understood that more hashing power means more success.
Well a couple of days ago after reading the dedicated section on here about mining hardware I decided to explore the Whatsminer. I googled Whatsminer and came across
www.microbtwhatsminerd1.com and BINGO found a site that actually seemed to have stock ready for order. I ordered and paid in Bitcoin and within a few minutes my funds were whisked away. Oh how I felt elated that finally I had done something worthwhile with my retirement and could be the proud owner of a decent mining rig and maybe a plastic helmet to hang on my wall.
What an idiot or maybe that should of been "Greedy Idiot" I now realize that I have been well and truly scammed, conned, fleeced, done over, whatever you want to call it. I thought that I was pretty good at being able to identify when something was too good to be true, but on this occasion I got it wrong. And so no mining rig for me and worst of all no miners helmet to adorn my wall - shame.
After reporting MicroBT's YouTube channel to YouTube it was only then did I discover in the discussion section that others had also lost large amounts of money and so I felt it my duty to raise this post on here in the hope that others may not be as gullable as I have been. As the famous saying goes "If you can't fix it then don't worry about it" but nevertheless it still hurts.
Oh and BTW I am from the UK and so glad to be on this forum - Many Thanks.
